DIY projects

If anyone is looking for a company to print their photos onto canvas and frame them I used Canvas on Demand a few times and the results have been fantastic. I've been having custom sports photos, and a few diving photos printed up as gifts over the last couple of weeks.

I figured since a lot of people in the hobby are also photographers, or have a photography interest, that this might help someone out. I've also noticed that a lot of people seem to be using their own tank photography ...
