All my career, I have waited for this time in history. I love and respect conventional photographic processes, but I am not adverse to progress. As the personal choice for interpreting my work on paper, I strongly prefer shooting on fine grained film, scanning the film on a drum scanner and then printing the digital file through my computer onto beautiful acid-free fine art papers on a high quality ink-jet printer. The prints are commonly refered to as “Giclee” prints. The recently improved ink-jet printing process displays a beautiful range of color, super sharpness and yet with the appearance of a certain softness because of the matt paper surfaces I use. A combination of rag papers and recently developed archival pigmented inks give the prints longevity of 100 years or more, if the prints are exhibited under UV glass, kept out of direct sunlight and otherwise not abused. Various canvases are also a media choice which can offer pleasing results for many images.

Print Longevity:
As mentioned, the printing processes are performed on state-of-the-art gicle’e printers and usually printed on 100% heavy-weight rag papers. The estimated life of original print quality is 100 years or more, depending on the printing process and the way the print is exhibited. The mounting board and mats are also of the highest museum quality to assure long life and image stability. All Larger, framed prints have UV Preservation Glass to eliminate most of the harmful UV rays. It is a universal recommendation to keep all artwork out of direct sunlight. .

Sizes:
There are four primary proportions I work with, but some of my images don’t fit into those aspect ratios. I feel the fitting of a photographic image into an exact proportion isn’t as important as the effect that is sometimes achieved by cropping at a non-standard aspect ratio. So, sometimes the measurements will vary from the print sizes displayed in the individual image area. The prices are determined by the nearest proportion of the four primary choices.
