Digital BW, The Print

Actually, I don't mount my images (at least not when I drop them off at a gallery).  I have a black leather box which has a small (3"x3") image inlaid in the cover.  In the box I place about 15-20 11"x11" (7"x7" image area) images with a piece of interleaving tissue between each.

I want the gallery owner to feel the paper and get a sense for the medium.  It seems to work pretty well.

  Good luck Julian! I agree you have a great chance if they called you first.

  I have a few questions about the "usual rules" you mentioned.

  What print size do the galleries generally expect? 8x10 inches?

  What's the gallery definition of "nicely mounted," dry mounting on a large 
  board, or in hinged mats? In a box?

  thanks everyone,

  Conrad
