Here's some older prints of mine that hang above my computer desk. All are from the early-1980s.

20x24" silver gelatin fb print & matted to 24"x32"

the framed print glass shows too much reflection.....

Not exactly on the wall, but in the darkroom I keep a slightly mangled window mat. It's my cheapest accessory, and the one I most enjoy using. Once a print is dry enough and flat enough, I drop the matt over it and get a first taste of what the photo really looks like without distracting clutter. I love that moment.

It's also a stage at which I cull quite a lot. This one was yesterday. Part of a series about livestock farming and trading that I've been accumulating. Sheep are nice things, and this is quite a pleasing print tonally, but it isn't wall-worthy on its own.

That's a great idea. So simple... I wish I had thought of that years ago!

Thanks,

Whenever I see your photos here I wish there was a ‘like’ button on Photrio.

What a brilliant idea for a thread! How many others do as I do and frame prints, tape around the back, etc. then think "Oh (insert preferred expletive) it! I should have scanned that before I framed it!)"

We have a small house with lots of windows... in other words not much space to hang art work and most of that space is taken up with others original art. (Both my mother and mother-in-law, were accomplished painters as is a sister-in-law.)

I do have a picture rail in my studio where I display a finished pieces on a rotating basis. Two nice things about a rail: one can easily display pieces that are matted but not framed and it is trivially easy to change out images.

I also display un-matted prints I am still 'living with' (i.e. deciding if they are ready to finish with a mat, etc.) using magnets to hold prints on steel strips mounted in odd spaces on my studio wall.

Here is a photo of one end of my picture rail. Platinum/palladium print, gold-toned salted-paper print, cyanotype and salted-paper print (left to right):

This is also a great thread for those of us who don't yet own a scanner

Great photo!

Thank you. It seems we value these more as time goes on, doesn't it?

Here's my 'gallery'. I usually rotate the images however these have been up since pre-covid times, then down for a few months while we painted the house. Put them back up without changing the pics cause I'm lazy They are 8x10ish (paper size, image size slightly smaller) lith prints in 16x20 frames taken during our 2018/19 holiday.

Ah yes, when I'm not down to framing a couple of pieces the morning of the day I want to submit to a show, since I normally use aluminum sectional frames, I try to put the matted piece in the frame with just enough spring leaves in the back to keep the mat at the front of the frame. I then photograph it, pop the frame open and add the glazing. Where my expletives come in is when even after carefully cleaning the glazing and closely looking over the 'package', I put in half the spring leaves, look again, and see an eyelash or widget of dust plastered against the mat!

From a recent show at the local museum.

My wife got a good digital camera for photographing our daughter as well as wildlife on boat trips. I had my 4x5 gear, but had to wait until we were anchored and I could dinghy ashore to start photographing.

The images she was coming home with, and after a couple Humpback Whales broke away from a feeding group to come within reaching distance of our boat, convinced me that it was time for me to get a digital camera. Seeing what Dick Arentz was doing in Pt/Pd from digital files was an extra nudge.

She had 17 images and I had 15 in the show. (Me on left 16x20, she on right 12x18) They were glossy metal prints, and it's the first show where I hadn't made the prints myself. The hemlock photo was from my first hike with a digital camera instead of the 4x5...truly weird.

Finished the “nature” wall of the office gallery, using the STAS hanging system. I need to paint the walls; the current color is a poor background.
