Musings of a displaced Australian Photographer in Seattle, USA
I’m totally stoked how this turned out. The guys over at Artistic Photo Canvas have really outdone themselves. This arrived in the post yesterday all boxed up nicely, all 72” (that’s SIX FEET) wide in all its glory. I’ve never thought that it would have turned out like it did, it looks INCREDIBLE!
