Using own prints for Christmas Presents? *Pics inside*

[Geaux]

Not sure if ya'll do the same thing, but this year, I'm giving out prints of my shots lol. :lmao: In New Orleans, almost everyone is obsessed with New Orleans type things in their household, so I did some work on some of my 'New Orleans' shots and made them black and white. It's mostly for my sisters (a lot older than me) and parents. I mounted them in acrylic frames, the ones that are 3dimensional and stick off the wall a bit, but I like the way they came out.

Here are the shots I put into frames (all 8x10s)

3. This might just be a Water Meter to anyone else, but the women in this city are obsessed with this 'icon'. They have Jewelry, shirts, welcome mats, cards, etc with this image. I liked the feel of mine though, weathered and covered with cement in parts.

You should check out Bay Photo (SmugMugs's pro lab) for their Ready-to Hang Mounted on metallic paper. I just received today a 16x20 and it is awesome. I also ordered a Box Frame and Mounted 16x20 on metallic paper, but did not unpackage yet..... gift wrapped straight away. I'll see it tomorrow.

Nice shots! I love #2 and #5! I think it is perfectly appropriate to give prints as presents when it is something the person wants and/or will appreciate!
