Hi Cecil,

Thks very much for your last advise. I appreciate it greatly.

I was just wondering where to hang my late father's photograph in my house. Appreciate if you could advise me accordingly.

Thks & rgds,

Chris

Here are some of the major considerations:-

1. Avoid hanging the photo (portrait) sharing the same wall as the toilet.
2. Avoid hanging the portait facing the toilet.
3. Try not to have the photo facing the main door.
4. Try to avoid having the portrait facing the dining table.
5. Avoid placing the portait in any "persons" bedroom.
6. If it is placed in a study or an EMPTY bedroom, place it close to or next to the window. But make sure that the sun does not shine directly onto the portait.
7. Avoid hanging the portait at the "end" of the hallway.
8. Avoid hanging it sharing the same wall as the stove or facing a stove or facing kitchen utensils such as knifes, forks (such as those often found at the wash basin.
9. Avoid hanging it even if it is in the livingroom (with some imagination) "facing towards any bedroom that one may undress, or do some ECA activities". Thus, if placed on a wall, if possible, should be placed "away" from the view into any of the "living quarters or bedrooms".

As mentioned under para 6, if there is a "private" area or "few walk past" say next to an open window, this is acceptable. Alternatively, often, it can be hang at the location where "one is suppose" to place an altar.

Where possible, the height from floor to the bottom frame (if possible) should be 146.5 cm height. The next best height is 127 cm in height. (146.5 is more optimium fora stand-a-lone portait. If it is placed on an altar, then 127cm in height).
