I am not so sure if this thread should be titled Demise ou Legacy... after translation I decided for Demise. It looked more suitable to me. OK let me move on.
-
Some months ago I decided to make a collection of images as a legacy for my son and my grand-son. Perhaps it is a silly idea or perhaps it is just a way or motivation to build a series or several series of images...
The fact is that I have been printing a few A3+ which are kept in a box specially made for the purpose. At this very moment I would like to post an image of the box but this work is postponed for tomorrow.
The collection is ordered by projects. Yes, the very same ones you can see at my site. I print them on baryta paper with long lasting inks which are supposed to last at least 75 years. Oh well...
The idea doesn't stop here.
I print the images - 10 or less of each project, around 6 to 8 - and keep them for exposition. If ever I get exposed again LOL. The first time it was in Setubal and ... period, no more, rien, nada, nothing, nil.
I have also ordered frames in black alu with canvas. They weight 2,9 kilograms (6,4 pouces US) each. Too much to send to biennials... or perhaps too expensive to be sent !
I am so nahive/innocent that I have hopes of selling frames on line LOL
Does anybody collect print as a demise ?
As this is a thread about photography I feel the obligation to post an image at least at the start of a thread. Tomorrow I will post my boxes later on and if I don't forget to. Today I post my frame ready to hang. Want to buy one ? LOL
