Hey Everyone,

Where are you all getting your frames from? Any on-line affordable spots? This has been an area that has been a real limiter for me. I am able to get great 16x20 inch frames with 11x14 mattes at an affordable price. You start breaking that common size though, and they just get expensive (or the frames begin to look really cheap).

BTW, George, love all the panos you have on the wall. I have a ton of them myself - I just NEVER print them.

James,

I have commented on the framing and matting dilemma before. Actually it is becoming a pet peve of mine. The more people I talk to, the more it is becoming clear that many times it is the framing that prevents many people from displaying their work. After having gone through setting it all up myself, I realize just how much is involved and why there is a whole framing industry out there. It just seems to me that photography is all about the images and it is a shame that it is inhibited by the need to have just the right framing and matting that turns out to be prohibitively expensive.

All I can say is what would we do without the web and sites like this which act as a great venue for all of us to show our work. Granted there is nothing like a huge 30x36 print like one of Roman's, but just think how little photography we would all see if we didn't have the internet. I am so glad I invested in a 24" hires monitor so that I can really appreciate online photography.

Thanks again James for making the time and committment to keep this site as great as it is.

Geo

Some of my best
