52/52: chromedecay photo prints

For this final week’s project, I decided to mount some photographs to give away to chromedecay friends and contributors. Here’s one of the final pieces, which is an 8×10 print mounted on black foamcore. This one’s going to Joshua Schnable as a gift.

The basic pieces were pretty easy to make. I cut up black foamcore into 8×10 inch pieces, and used spray adhesive to mount the prints to the foamcore. The prints themselves are 8×10 images printed by Mpix on Kodak Endura Metallic paper.

For one of the pieces, I decided to try my hand at making a foamcore standout – basically a frame built out of foamcore that would allow the piece to stand up by itself or be easily hung on a wall without needing to add mounting hardware.

This is the cover photo from my release “The Ghost of An Idea” on EMA CCM. It’s going to Rob Theakston, who runs EMA CCM.

I’m so pleased with how these turned out that I will be offering a range of chromedecay photographic prints for sale early in the new year. This is something that I’ve had in mind for a long time, but this project helped push it closer to reality.

This is, of course, the final project in my 52 things project. It has been an amazing year of creative projects, and my next post (going up on Saturday) will be my attempt to reflect on the year, and lay out some vision for chromedecay in 2011. Thanks for reading!
