Century Box & Photography Prints

Video Transcript

"So one problem that presented itself to me, the more work I made was you know what do I do with all this work? Or how do I just keep it from being all over the place and being a fairly unorganized, undocumented mess? One way that I like to keep all the prints that I make is in this acid free Century box. It costs about forty to fifty dollars a box. Which really is pretty expensive if you ask me, but probably worth it because once you're done pressing your print, you keep your print, especially these nice eleven by fourteen fiber based prints in a box like this. It works on a couple of different levels. One, I can use a box just like this to bring my work to show the people. I think these boxes in some way work better than the traditional leather portfolio cases because you can change your prints in and out very quickly. People can handle your prints a lot better and actually physically get up close and look at them. Sometimes if I'm bringing my prints around to curators, to galleries, I'll put a nice pair of white gloves in there, maybe even a loop, a resume, a bio statement and it's actually just a really nice, neat way of showing your work."
