Experimenting with matting or no matting

Published

I recently had a portfolio review with Emily Schiffer thanks to Photograph Resource Center Boston and she along with others suggested doing my photoziacs without matting.  She offered up the print option of Metal or Wood; as soon as our meeting was over I jumped online knowing my custom print lab offered up metal prints.  I decided to Experiment with my image called Green.  Below you will see side by side comparison of the same size frame but two very different looks as one image are printed on metal and the other is on foam core and matted. 

Please leave a comment and tell me which one you like and why?  I love reading your comments about my art!  I’m working on another comparison one in my Infrared series- so stay tuned.

Pine Edged Road
Sized medium PER20x17x12021-1

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is to breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!

Golden Gate Bridge

I headed to San Francisco for an art show and decided to give myself a few extras days to explore this great City by the Bay. As the fog lifted, I snapped photos of the various areas in the Marina District.  When the fog burnt off, I walked the area again up a long hill to capture this photograph.  Nature really makes all these colors work together.

About Danger:

Danger

I found this sign walking along Mississippi River Road in Saint Paul; I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge.  This sign defines Covid-19 and Civil unrest and now attacks Women’s right to choose.  We are entering dangerous times and need to stand up for all Equality.
