Go Red For Women Luncheon and Auction 2010
Well, it is later than I was hoping for, but not as late as I was afraid it would be.
I have just finished matting and framing the two prints that I am donating to the Go Red For Women 2010 Luncheon and Auction in Jackson, Mississippi. Last year I donated a larger print and it went for quite a bit, so this year I am doing two slightly smaller ones and seeing how that does. The image sizes on the prints are around 9.5 x 14, and I had to matte them myself to try and save on the money. I am not happy with the matte and framing, but I am extremely happy with the images. Both where printed on Kodak Metallic Paper, and they absolutly shine when you see them in person. It is such a shame that the computer images does not begin to do them justice. They realy are something that has to be seen to appreciated.
And before I get some comments, I know that signing the matte is not the proper thing to do. The problem is, the prints metallic finish has such a high gloss, a pencil would not take to them. Instead I signed the backs of the prints and wrote the names on them. The silver signature on a black matte is kind of my own ego.

Also, you may have noticed that I have made additional changes to the site. I was just not happy with the presentation of the photographs on a white background. With this one, I am not pleased about the orange text, but I will be making a custom header this week to personalize the site a little more.
Well, that’s about it. Long, hard day at work tomorrow, and hopefully some time to get out a little more for some photos. I still need to set up a make-shift studio to attempt some self portraits, and that may happen by this weekend.
Goodnight all…
