Presentation is the practice of showing the content of your work to an audience.  The display of how you present your work can be very important.  Now that the end of the semester is creeping up on me I have been thinking a lot about the presentation of my work.  I don’t want to frame my work because to me that is so final and I don’t want to see my work behind glass.  After thinking about a variety of ways to display my work I have decided that I think I am going to have my photos mounted on gaffer board and create a frame on the back on the board to allow them to be raised off the wall. I am also thinking about how I am going to print my actually photographs and I'm thinking of using a luster finish paper or even possible a matte paper.
