May 19

Well, things are coming up pretty quickly now.  Presentation is in 9 days.

Today, I went to get pre-cut matting board from Keeble & Schuchat, the local photography store.  The reason I got pre-cut matt was because I wanted to be able to matt my larger prints and if I were to buy un-cut matt, it would have cost me $216 dollars in the bundle they had available.  Not going to work.  So, I opted for the alternative: they had 5 pre-cut matts for 17X22 inch prints and same for 13X19.  I got some un-cut board though for 8.5X11 prints.  That way, I can still say I matted some of my photos.

My dad told me about an art supply store that he thinks also carries matt board (maybe I bought too early?) but more importantly, he thinks they probably carry display triangles, as I like to call them.  I think they have “easel” in their name.

I have put some of my prints so far into the matts and they look pretty good.  It will be impressive to set them up at my presentation.  I think I might buy some more matt incase I want to matt two pairs of photos together, as I have in the book.  And of course, I need to start working on my presentation.

All that and more on the next edition of Windy Hill Vista.
