Fracture {Giveaway}

13 July 2010 91 Comments

Photos are a huge part of my life. I rarely go anywhere without a camera. Actually, a friend at dinner tonight laughed when I took a picture of AJ sitting at a bar sucking on a lollipop….with the camera on my phone. It might not be a picture worthy of displaying, but I am too much of a photographer at heart to let a moment like that go by undocumented.

I have photos of my kids on the walls, scattered around my entire house. But, strangely, until recently I had never printed a photo with a non-family member subject before. Enter Fracture, a one-piece picture and frame made from printed glass that mounts directly to your wall. When I heard about Fracture, I instantly pictured this image of the Spring wildflowers near my house.

I had never treated any of my photos as art work, but that’s exactly how I felt when my Fracture came in the mail. The photo, printed on glass, was vibrantly colorful and crisp-clear. It was easy to hang and looks great on the wall in my kitchen.

Fracture prints high quality digital images directly on glass (no print paper involved!); combining printing and framing into one process. It’s not just another printing company. Fractures are great for professional photographers or the everyday mom who enjoys snapping pics of their kids. Because there is no need for a frame, Fractures match any decor or style. Anyone can create their own piece of art.

Most importantly – ANYONE can use Fracture. From the “decoratively challenged” (who stare confusedly at their blank walls), to those who know exactly what they are looking for, Fracture can appeal to all of them. Fracture is getting people excited about printing and displaying their photos again. I know they’ve got me excited!

Looks

• Vibrant, rich and glossy colors
• Perfectly flat glass surface
• The “HD-TV look but for photos”

Customization

• Because the entire frame is printed digitally, there are potentially limitless ways you can make your Fracture unique
• While we offer a variety of border options to add depth and flavor to your photos, keep your eyes open for an ever-growing list of options in the future
• Fracture’s size options keep things simple. Unlike traditional frames, our dimensions have been tweaked to perfectly fit the photos taken from your digital camera without needing to crop, so you can always print edge-to-edge without losing anything (or anyone) in the photo.

Safety

• Safer than an ordinary glass frame and more shatter-proof
• No sharp edges

Economy

• No need to go to multiple stores to print, frame and hang your photos – a Fracture is the economical one step solution.
• When you buy a Fracture, you don’t need anything else – not even screws to mount it with (your fracture comes with the perfect screw).

Mounting

• Arrives ready to be mounted with everything you need

Life-Span

• Images won’t fade
• Guaranteed to last even under the worst conditions at least 3-5 years (continuous exposure to full sunlight)
• Because the print is actually on the backside of the glass, it is never vulnerable to scratching so you can windex as much as you like
