When you are sitting at your desk at work and your mind begins to wander and your body starts to fidget like a child at church, it may be time to take that vacation and get out and travel! Nothing is better for the soul than the good old get-in-the-car-and-drive remedy and finding new experiences around every corner with all sorts of interesting people to talk to from all parts. To add to your amusement, having a camera at hand to capture all those unique moments are a must for more reasons than one.

Not only is taking a road trip and documenting your travels via photography fun, but very enriching to the mind, body and spirit. It is amazing to learn about the world outside your hometown and that not everyone talks, eats and moves the same way you do. This is what makes travel so intriguing and delightful. “Take pictures of everything you encounter” is my motto! What is the best way to remember your travels besides putting all your photos in a photo album? Why not create a wall of fine art photo giclees and have them printed on the highest quality canvas.

Start thinking about all the exciting places you have already been. Maybe you have photos from childhood or that trip you took after college. Go ahead and add them to the photos you are about to take on your upcoming trip. When you get back, start designing a Travel Wall in your home. How awesome would THAT look? You can have all sorts of sizes and shapes printed and stretched on canvas. All you have to do to is go to CanvasPress.com and select Photos to Canvas.

On the Canvas Press site, there are a lot of cool ideas on how to set up your wall and if you get stuck, just give Canvas Press a call and anyone from their friendly staff will be delighted to help you! Don’t worry if you only have old 4x6” photos from 1982, Canvas Press can scan them all and transfer them onto the computer. There they will clean them up for you and make everything look like new again. To tie all your old and new photos together so your Travel Wall has consistency, you can ask them to add a solid, colored border. The staff can even give you ideas on how to hang your photos if you are in such need.

One of the greatest benefits of getting your photos printed onto canvas with Canvas Press is that the giclees they provide are archival and will not fade or discolor for over 100 years. So you know you can continue printing all those awesome travel photos for years to come and feel confident that the first giclee print they make for you will look as wonderful and new as the last giclee print you get on your 100th birthday. Personally, I feel the best thing to me about having a Travel Wall, is the ability to stop, right in the middle of your busy day, take a deep breath and soak in all the incredible memories from your life. Isn’t that what living is all about?
