Yes, very, very nice. I am thoroughly inspired. Though, this hits on something that always bothers me about framing -- it costs considerably more than the art! A frame shop here in Portland has as their catch-phrase, Re-frame your art. I've always thought it should be re-art your frames. At

No, I get that. And I completely understand the economics for why frames cost so much more than prints. However, there's a part of me that can't get over that whenever I see a nice print I'd like, that the cost of the print is going to be but a small down payment -- internal voice: Wow, nice

That was the justification going on in my head: I bought a poster for $20, then spent four times that on a frame, UV-glass, acid-free paper, etc., just to be sure that 20, 30 years from now (right when my Rivs are getting broken in), I can still be enjoying the poster, instead of it being

Since the subject is for the moment on-topic, what are anyone's secrets for reasonably cost-effective framing? Last weekend I took a photo of a project I recently completed to Aaron Brothers, the stripmall chain framing place. Simple, rectangular frame profile, 3 white mat, 20x30 image. The

I think anything related to art gets a mark-up similar to what happens when you put the word marine or aviation in front of a piece of hardware. Or, perhaps, people think the mark up on anything called frame is the same as that on eyeglass frames, which is around 1000%. To be fair, back in the

According to the web site copy of the independent outfit Seth got his from, a lot of the chains expect you'll be using a 50% off coupon. $275 for a frame that large, assuming it has UV glass doesn't sound too out of line (in my admittedly very limited experience). -Allan On Friday, July 20,
