Welded Aluminum Frames – Michael “Nick” Nichols
Michael “Nick” Nichols, famed National Geographic photographer and Editor at Large, collaborated with DSI and The Philadelphia Museum of Art to bring his monumental show “Wild” to the public. Some 300 images from Nichols’s 27 National Geographic assignments were printed by Digital Silver Imaging and framed in welded aluminum frames. An extensive proofing process was designed, and the exhibition was a resounding success for the museum and the city of Philadelphia. We are happy to print and frame a single print or 300 just give us a call for a quote.
