Originally posted by Kim Coxon I wondered how many members print and display their photos rather than just up load them to the net or only view them on a PC screen?
However, the photos that have always made me stop and think or to say "wow!" were displayed on a wall.
At least once a year, I make 2-3 large format prints anywhere from 30x30" to 36x44". This year I made my first canvas print and stretched it onto a wood frame. Also once a year, I make a photo book. It's not cheap, but those images are looked at for years to come and writing descriptive and detailed captions helps put the image in context.
You're right, viewing an image on a monitor doesn't have the same aesthetic as print, and the bigger, the better.
Although I do share images via FB or Instagram etc, if the photo is a true "keeper", I will print them out as a 5x8" or 6x9" and "share" them via snail mail.
