This morning, Sarah and I visited a camera store at Westfield Marion Shopping Centre to print 23 of my RedBubble photographs in 8"x12" format. We also picked up three small folders that can hold about 120 photographs in 6"x4" format. These folders will serve as 'easy-to-display' books for my online gallery in a real-world location....
