Re: gallery rules

Conrad,
In the past I've done a hinged window matte (archival) and taken only 
10 images. I once took about 18 and the guy was quite put out. I'm no 
expert here, and people like jennifer know far more than I do. As for 
size, it depends what I'm doing. The 6x6cm stuff I hope to take is 
printed 9ins square on A3 paper, mounted to 40x50 cms (standard size 
over here), all in a 20x16 inch archival portfolio box.
