I'm a reporter for a newspaper who does a lot of photography both for the paper i work for as well as for fun and a few very small paying gigs. I was contacted by the owner of a bar and restaurant where i live and offered a wall in the place for one week to showcase some of my work. They feature local artists for a week and take no commission and even host an event on the opening night to help gets eyes on your work. I was told to have between 10 and 15 photos and will have to hang them myself.
The problem is i have never done this before and have about 2 weeks to pull it off. I have looked at mpix for printing, but am not sure about matting or framing. I have a very tight budget and was looking for tips on where and how to save. It should be mentioned that i live on Nantucket (an island 30 miles out to sea) and do not have access to supply stores to do it myself, so it pretty much all has to be done over the web, and fairly quickly. Any tips would be great. as well as suggestions on how much to list the photos for. Thanks Peter http://web.mac.com/psutters/Site_3/Welcome.html |

Do you have access to, say, a Wal-Mart or something? If you crop your photos yourself so they're the right ratio, you'll get a pretty decent image out of 'em, plus they sell frames. Said frames are often dirty or a little banged up, but it's nothing you can't clean.
