At PictureFrames.com, Travelers Extend Their Journeys By Creating Inspiring Décor from Vacation Photos
High Point, NC, October 20, 2005 – Now, like never before, the new Print & Frame feature at PictureFrames.com enables photos to be enlarged up to eight times their original size, printed as fine art quality giclees, and framed to create heirloom-worthy pieces that last for generations. As a result, this summers' travelers are extending their journeys by turning their treasured vacation photos into unique wall art.
Vacation is a time devoted to relaxation and exploration. Print & Frame enables travelers to turn these memories into special mementos that inspire everyday life. The customer has the ability to upload a digital image, enhance it artistically if they like, and compare it in hundreds of different mats and frames before finding the ideal framing treatment. Orders typically ship in 48 hours.
"Framing photos gives a feeling of importance to the image, eternalizing a time of excitement and leisure." explains Robyn Feinsod of Marketing and Communications. "We use the high quality giclee method of printing that has been used by fine art professionals for years. Now, PictureFrames.com is making it available to everyone at great value. And, the images stay truer than a typical photo." For those who print their own photos, the Personal Frame Shop feature offers the same ability to create presentations; simply slide the print into the framework when it arrives for a perfect presentation.
"Most people will have a deeper connection to pictures they've made of things they care about than they have to something made by someone else," said Peter Galassi, chief curator for photography at the Museum of Modern Art, in a recent article in the New York Times. This deep connection is prompting droves of vacation goers to create inspiring works of art from their travels— whether for themselves or as the ultimate in personalized gift giving— at PictureFrames.com.
This year, Graphik Dimensions Ltd., parent company of PictureFrames.com, celebrates its 40th Anniversary. Founded by artists Steve and Joan Feinsod, the company has added a successful website to its award-winning catalog.
