Mounting the Show!

Final placement of "The Bougainvillea." Its white blossom, at bottom, is nearly the same distance from the camera as the pink petal above it. This narrow depth of field keeps them both in focus, and draws the observer into the photo.

I called on Krista's experienced eye for help with exhibit design, so I could focus on photo editing. She envisioned and sourced these black photo mounts with three main criteria in mind: elegance, economy, and ease of use. She suggested these posterhangers because they are evocative of  Chinese handscroll hangers - simple, cylindrical rods, each framing a unique story.

I was delighted with the "scroll" style, as it ties into my passion for Chinese art and history. In this exhibit, their simple elegance works well with the large photo format, and they're a breeze to install.  We've received numerous inquiries about them, so we've included a link here and above.
