Looks like a nice place and a good start on your display, Just a thought… We have a local place, opened 6-7 years ago, which is a beer/wine/sandwich sort of establishment. The couple who own the place (children of two of Meg’s HS classmates) are lawyers working for The local international company headquartered here in town. The story is that their lawyering did not engage their creative side, so they opened this restaurant. All of the furnishings are hand built (rough “primitive” log tables, etc.) The decorations on the walls are large metallic prints of photos taken by the owners, Michigan landscapes.
The point of the story: those prints have not changed since the place opened. They are nice enough, I can see that people on their first visit might want to look closely. But a) the metallic surface makes it hard to see them unless you catch the light just right, and b) it is boring to have the same prints in the same space month after month after year after year. My takeaway is that, if you can work it out with your friend, see if you can rotate the prints every month or two. Same images in different locations and/or occasionally add/substitute new images. > On May 8, 2021, at 1:00 AM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: > > A friend offered to let me show my photos at his restaurant at the Santa Cruz > yacht harbor.
