Happy Halloween to all.....

Today is a celebration of the evening and how did this all get started? It started in Europe many, many years ago All Saint's Day and actually was celebration of the Saints that passed on from this world to the greater world the past year. Today the church celebrates the day as a memorial to those that have pasted during the past year. People would try to ward off evil spirits and that is how the costumes became a part of what is now called Halloween.
I think that the best part of this day is to watch the small children come to my door, dressed as some cartoon character or scary witch with the fearful look on their face looking for a treat. Once they discover how this all works they soon run from house to house and hate for it to come to an end..

PACKAGING YOUR PHOTOS FOR SALE
You may ask if I'm interested in selling my Photos to others what is the best way to present them..

First, print the photos at a professional lab on archival products, this is products that will with stand the problem of time. Spare no cost this makes a big difference on the out come of your product. A great selling point.

Second, do not touch your photos without wearing cotton gloves or at least plastic gloves. The oils on your hands damage the photos. They appear to be used Photographs if they have finger prints on them. Remember

Third, buy Acid Free Foam Core Board for backing and Acid Free Sleeve Bags to package your Photos. The Foam Core Board should be 1/8" larger that the photograph so that the corners don't get crushed. When cutting the Foam Core Board make sure that your cutting is straight and clean. It makes a difference to be professional.

You can search the internet to find the best price on these products, some of the places that I have found are FramerIsland.com for the Foam Core Board and Bagsunlimited.com for the Acid Free Sleeves.

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween.... Boo!
