Here’s a photo I snapped near the end of our (Mauro’s and my) day last weekend. I love street photography at dusk, when the shop lights are ablaze but there’s still enough daylight to catch a shot sans tripod. Hope you like it.
Recently, highlighted on the Comcast.net homepage and several other internet home pages out there, you may have noticed a featured article entitled “Chic Decor On a Budget.”
Featured there were some framed art, scrolls, and various other wall hangings that averaged about $80 each.
Why is wall decor so popular and necessary?
Have you ever been in a living room and there is just something not right about it when it doesn’t have art hanging on the wall in certain areas?
I was just in a client’s office, and above the sofa in the waiting area there was absolutely NOTHING on the wall. It just seemed awkward, frankly, and certainly uninviting.
Wall decor, such as prints of your own photography and handiwork, give the space your own personal flavor and flair. It expresses your personality. More than that, when used in a business environment, it can serve to promote your vision and mission.
There is a certain energy that comes with wall art, and, once it’s there, you may find yourself wondering what you did without it.
How to best hang your wall decor?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions we encounter. Here are just a few tips:
1. When hanging posters and light artwork, 3M makes some great picture-hanging tabs with a hook-and-nub kind of almost Velcro application. The result is something that won’t mar the wall and will allow you to perfectly level your piece.
2. Most of our canvas prints when stretched has a wire across the back. With a hammer, simply drive a nail into your wall at a 45% angle. Better yet, there are ready-to-go hooks that drive into the wall with a hammer.
3. For heavier items and very secure installations, it is always best to get your trusty level, your stud finder, and your drill and screw your mounting screws into the studs. If studs are not present, use drywall anchors.
Consider, if you are looking for spruce up your home decor, the advantage of working with ImpresivoPrints. You can have a completely custom piece of wall art that you can call your own for under $100.
Our most popular model, 16″ X 20″ stretched artist canvas, retails for $75, and it is YOUR artwork. You can even add a personalization to your art to really make it your own–and you will STILL be under $100. With our design services, if you do have a business with a void begging to be filled, consider your logo, a picture of your best product, and your vision statement to dress that naked wall!

This is an entrance to the underground parking at Toronto’s City Hall. I was lucky to catch this guy using it was I snapped the photo. Hope you like.
Caught this person grabbing a hot dog on Queen St. near John St. in the heart of a trendy area known as “Queen West.”
I came upon this creation in a store window during my outing with Mauro last Saturday. Sort of makes me sad.
Remember the movie, The Matrix? There’s a scene where Lawrence Fishborn and Kianew Reeves (sp.?) are in the matrix and there’s nothing but a white background. Well, here’s a shot of a moose that got caught in the Matrix after eating the blue pill. Oh, and here’s my lightbox in action with lighting through the roof of the box by way of a desk lamp. The two photos are entirely unrelated. Honest! 
This photo was taken at Richmond St. & Yonge St. in Toronto. The building behind the traffic lights is The Bay department store.
This sign marked the entry to a fancy steakhouse inside the BCE Place. Not sure why I liked it, but here it is anyway. Enjoy. Me, I like mine medium rare.
