Buying an A3 printer didn't work out, so the job has gone to Photobox. 20 12x10 prints ordered today.
I have removed the glass from the frame and will cut the backing so that it fits where the glass was.
Tomorrow I plan to buy some black card to use for mounting the snaps.
The subjects approximate to:
1 Floyd album cover
2 Mondrians and a PM assemblage
1 Winifred Nicholson
4 Kevins (the cat)
3 family portraits
2 Green Teds
1 Else Bing
1 Fonssagrives (sp?)
1 greetings card
The Feet, in 2 halves

A big fridge
Here's our fridge upon which some parallel themes will be noted.
005 a Marlow Moss
If I choose one of the Reliefs, I could refashion in in miniature, just as Florette Dijkstra.
004 a good Hockney

| Hockney A Bigger Splash, 1967 |
This is quite nice too, found on Goggle but the link is broken

Size is a problem
Size is a problem.
The spaces are 28x24 (WxH).
A4 is 30x21.
I had envisaged filling the holes - that would definitely be more aesthetically satisfying.
I might buy an A3 printer, especially if HP do an A3 version of the brilliant 5530 - I could use an A3 scanner in any case.
I could have them shop-printed, that's not too expensive but they are sometimes a bit particular about copyright.
I could mount them on 28x24 card, but I would rather fill the spaces.
For now, I will stick to A4 for a proof of concept.

Intro
This is a personal project, a stash place to put any pictures I come across.
For reasons that it is entirely unnecessary to elaborate, we have a large mirror with a wooden framework in front comprising 6 equally-sized rectangles of 28x24cm (WxH).
It has languished in the spare room for a year-or-so, waiting for a purpose.
I plan to print numerous images in that size, probably 12 to start, and put those in a nearby container, allowing bypassers (i.e. Jan and me, occasionally the firstborn and Amy - that's about it) to alter the display as they choose.
I have just the wall for the job and it currently looks like this.
I will develop this project on the sly and set it up one day when Jan is out.
One question is whether to leave the mirror in place.
On this site I will post candidate images as I find them and, when it is up and running, occasional images of the current state.
Initial thoughts for the contents:
1. Floyd animals album cover (following the recent V&A show).
2. Feet - a recent snap from Sardinia (that will have to spread over two slots).
3. The family snap which brought this project into focus this morning.
4. A good Hockney.
5. A Marlow Moss.
6. A Mondrian.
7. My favourite nude.
8. My favourite self portrait.
