A. Adobe Lightroom has a very nice photography website creator as a feature. I'm not sure which version you are using (mine is 2.6) but I have made a very basic website using Lightroom which I use to show some of my images. As for all the other features you want?, well it may be possible with LR but is not something I have looked into doing. I have seen some very nice websites created using LR. .

what is a good online company for printing/enlarging digital photos?
Q. I have a lot of beautiful scenic and architecture photos i have taken at 6 megapixels while traveling. I'd like to get them enlarged to around 12" x 15" and get them framed so i can adorn my house walls with them. I think it would make a neat personal gallery. Can someone recommend a good online company that does this?

A. Let me add to the list of people recommending Mpix. Go to and browse the site and see what they offer. David makes an excellent point about framing expense. If you want to "adorn the walls," you can end up breaking the bank with custom framing. I found, though, that you can learn to cut mats yourself and save a lot of money. I just did a show where I used a lot of 8x12 and 10x15 prints and put them into stock frames. The 8x12's fit into 11x14 frames and the 10x15's fit into 16x20 frames. These frames came with mats cut to fit much smaller prints so you could autograph the borders. I think the 11x14 had a 5x7 opening and the 16x20 had an 8x10 opening. I just recut the mats to the sizes I needed. These are not great photos,… [cont.]

How do I find an "art agent" to represent me?
Q. My work in bronze is done in a very unique way. I would like to find an agent or gallery to represent and promote my work. www.ghbronze.com This would not be limited to Canada but the US as well as Europe. I ship my work and produce new work on a monthly basis and have sold my work independently as well as through galleries. These are life-size pieces that can be exhibited inside or outside as well as made personal for private commissions. Thanks for your suggestions Gabrielle

A. I know that here in the US most artists that are just starting out and trying to establish their work will go to one or two galleries to represent them and help get their name out there. If you dont have any galleries near you...you might need to try going to a bigger city and try there. Ask the galleries you contact if they deal in sculpture as well as paintings. Make sure they are willing to promote your work not only IN gallery but online and possibly in print as well. The larger galleries will do all three.
