How's the Derrick Bell Book? I just got Peter Warr's Team Lotus, My View from the Pit Wall. We should swap.
Good read. Guy has had a hellofa career. I have had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions and have a bunch of signed stuff, including the book, the Miami print you see a corner of (also signed by Al Holbert, one of my all time favorite drivers), a "real" Porsche factory poster, and a 1971 Le Mans start poster signed by him and Vic Elford. I also have a great shot Derek B. took with me at Renn Sport a few years back. Now I just need a massive room with lots of walls to get it all hung up!
18" x 24" standard frame at Hobby Lobby is the one I used. They carry them and they are on sale a lot. I got mine a couple of years apart, but they are still the same. Normally run about $29, but got them half off. Add back in the cost of the mat and hanger kit, it ended up being $31.
I use the removable doublestick tabs for my panoramics and that has been working great for a few years now. I do have them inside where they arent subject to as much temperature extremes (in case that matters for longevity).
I actually just have them dry mount it to the front of the matte. No cutting required and no loss of edges to the matte.
I had mine laminated quick before I could damage them. They will be put up in the laundry room with my panoramic photos with thumbtacks through the laminate only. Now I feel bad cause I never thought to frame them...
I ordered mine from Joann.com and the frames are the exact sizes. I found a 15% off coupon online, so they ended being $32 for two of then. They are supposed to be delivered today. My friend tried to order one from the website on Sunday, but the frames are currently out of stock.
Who ever thought that a thread on how to frame someone...er...something, would go this long? :lol: Jim
