A few prints later, and the gallery is done.<\/i><\/p>\n

I wrote about an inexpensive way of displaying large prints in a professional manner here<\/a>. After satisfying myself that this worked well and did not fall apart after a few sun cycles (a daily occurrence here in California, not known to residents of England and northern Europe ….), I got at it and ran off another nine 16\/18″ x 24″ prints on the HP DesignJet (a company now permanently stuck on stupid). After mounting them<\/a> all that was left to do was to wait on Documounts<\/a> to deliver the required mats. Paper used is HP Premium Plus Glossy<\/a>. Some speedy work with 3M Double Sided tape to fix the mats in place, a spirit level, measure and hammer, and 90 minutes and 36 mirror retainers later all was done.<\/p>\n

All of these were taken in the last year in San Francisco, their recency based in the simple philosophy that if your latest pictures are not your best you should quit the hobby.<\/p>\n

Hopefully all of these will have changed a year hence, or I’ll be doing needlework in my spare time and you can buy my photo gear. All snapped on the Panasonic G1 using the kit lens or the Olympus 9-18mm wide angle zoom.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the thrill from walking up the stairs and recalling the exact circumstance of each picture is really quite something. Even in our modern LCD digital world, there’s nothing quite like a nicely displayed wall print.<\/p>\n

Several of these snaps involve murals or wall art. If you are in San Francisco and want a good guide to the city’s many murals, click the picture below:<\/p>\n
