Recent Job

I thought I'd show you a job that I completed today.  It's one thing to see the photos on the web, but is another to see them hanging. Also, keep in mind that the the glass reflections tend to get in the way of showing the real crispness and depth of tones in these photographs.  The fourth photo from the top is probably the closest rendition to real life.

The job was to print, frame and put up ten 21 by 27 inch B&W Central Park prints for a capital management firm located in a huge office building in midtown.  It took about 4 hours in all to put up the prints and to make sure they were even. 

Below is the scrap paper that I used to calculate one of the walls.  It looks like my math major wasn't a complete waste after all.

But the best feeling is when you're finally finished.  All the steps of taking the photo, retouching, printing, matting and framing, and putting them up are done with, and you get to stand back and stare at them for awhile.
