Prints
What do you do with your prints? I've wondered what I should do with all of mine, they are everywhere. I have a draw in my office full of prints, a plastic bag with more and a box in the garage as well. That is not counting all of those I have made that are hanging around the house.
A lot of them I have printed for local competitions, they may or may not have received an award, and then they are shoved in storage. I'm sure a lot I won't see again for a year or two, maybe more. That begs the question of whether they were good enough in the first place.
A fellow photographer I spoke to about the this subject suggested I pack them off to friends and realtives as surprise gifts. The receiver is happy because you thought of them and I regain storage space for some other dust collecting items.

Robert - you might want to consider donating appropriate images to places like Westmead (in particular the Children's Hospital) or other places where they would bring some welcome life and joy.They may not last forever in those environments, but I am sure they would be interested.
I'm going to look at doing something similar myself.
a wonderful thought Phil. Do you think they would want them framed or just a print to pinto a message board occassionally.
I'm sure they'd accept them framed :-) I was thinking of offering them matted. They could decide if they wanted to do more with them.
