My favourite art medium is photography. One of my biggest pet peeves is how photography framed behind glass only seems to show really awful glares if there is a window in the room. The worst is trying to photograph this. Plus, framing costs a fortune. The photograph above is fantastic, and the simple way in which it is hung, without a frame and possibly laminated, is a great solution. I have a photo of my Himalayan fluffball Milo that I want to blow up and laminate (on a thin backing) like this, and I’m even more sure now that this is the way to go.

Kim… have you considered transferring your photos on canvas… I have printed several black and white photos to large format canvas and look great on the wall. I did mine via officeworks the cheapest rate by far…
KiM says:
Thanks for the tip ElvisFan. I hadn't thought of that – wouldn't you lose a lot of the sharpness printing it on canvas though? (I'll check prices/quality of places here in Ottawa)
Coco says:
I believe this photo was printed on aluminum. Or, rather, the photo is mounted onto aluminum. There are a few places you can find using this technique. Check out the Opus Art supply website in Vancouver. I think they offer it and you can find more info about it there.
KiM says:
Aluminum? Huh. I like that idea. I'll look into that too – thanks Coco!
