I have sold a my very first photo sized 30x45cm in a wooden frame last year at a clay figure exhibition where it served as decoration :-) greetings Markus =========== Yes, I framed them. The End I printed at 13.5 X 18, using Epson Super B Velvet Fine Art Paper. Some of the others I had in 11X14 frames, and some I printed as 5X7s. All sizes really, but I tend to print odd sizes because I print full frame and most frames don't really come premade for full frame. And I didn't want to pay for custom frames. So I had a heck of time figuring out frame sizes, but I went to a local place where the female clerk helped me figure it out so most had about 2" mat borders on each sides. I paid for mat cutting. In the future I hope to learn to do my own mats. Things really do look a lot better if framed and matted right. My at home stuff before this was more crude. Congratulations, Markus. Fun, isn't it? :-) Nyah, I won't mention prices, but I priced low. Enough to cover my cost matting and framing and a bit over. I was much lower than most of the other photographers. But only three of us sold. The medium format landscape guy, because he was so darn good. And a woman that only sold small ones, either 6X4s or 5X7s, not sure which. But framed individually. Remember there was jewelry, pottery, and paintings as well. The pottery and the jewelry did best. Photographically, it was a pretty unsophisticated crowd. Although I did get a kick out of it that I invited my next door neighbors, a couple who has admired some of my photos, to see my photographs and he bought one from the medium format guy.
