- Mike, it seems you are in a dilemma. :-) I guess doing your own
- "mounting" on foam-board is the way to go. I believe someone
- else recommended this already. To have it done in one of those
- "mall" framing places would probably run about $12 per picture.
- Not expensive perhaps to some folks, but to an "almost unemployed
- student.....", it would be very expensive. Buying the foam-board,
- an exacto knife, and mounting glue/tape, would be the least
- expensive and yet look good. The only drawback would be that the
- photographs would be subject to the elements more than a photo
- that is mounted on a frame/glass scenario. Another variation
- is to get the foam-board and "sandwich" the picture with a mat.
- Ideally, IMHO, you would not want to place glue on the actual
- pictures because when you decide to "unmount" them, the glue
- could cause tearing. By placing a mat between the picture and
- foam-board, then you could place glue onto the mat/foam-board.
- Man, what a genuis I am. :-)
