A local cafe gets good traffic and the place has display  room for local artists.  I asked about getting my photos on those walls and it looks like this spring will be when that happens.

I know this has been discussed several times before on the forum but please help if you can:

What would you consider a frame fornice exhibit appearsance and at the same time not make me beg for food after the purchase.  : )    I assume a simple mat will be a help and that perhaps in a black or other simple frame.     I don't want to get into dry mounting the prints and do not want a permanent mount.

The other problem is getting the prints done. I do use one online printer and get fine results.  If you have a suggestion for this please let me know.  I do want the prints done on quality photo papers by pros in that business, not home printing which I am not set up to do.   I suppose about 11 in. x 13 in. would be the max print with most closer to 8x10 inches, put into larger mat and frame.

Any advice will be appreicated.    Now, I will spend some time when available getting the photos properly rendered for the prints.

Thanks.        Tom.
