I gave several of my photographs as Christmas gifts. I had them blown up very large: 20 x 30. Two of them were recently framed by a rather expensive (!!) framer in Buckhead. Somehow I ended up with the assignment of going to pick them up. I was shocked! They were breathtaking.
The framer had one of them in his window display for everyone to see. When I arrived, he told the customer with whom he was working that I was the "professional photographer" of the picture in the window and the one behind us. (I am not a professional photographer!)
The window picture was one of my favorites from the pictures I took in the Rockies. The one behind us in the store was taken during my latest Paris trip. His customer asked where it had been taken--the River Sein. They truly are spectacular!
What I found most unexpected and very pleasing was that the framer wanted to purchase the picture from the Rockies. With his accent he said, "It is perfect. No. No it is not perfect. If you sign it in the bottom right corner with a shiny gold pen before it is framed, then it is perfect. I make good frame, but you take best picture. Artist sign his work."
I gave him my web address as he expressed interest in buying my photographs. What fun!
