THE PRINTS

With few exceptions, all of my photographs are available in 8 by 10, 12 by 16 and 15 by 20 print sizes.  These are IMAGE sizes printed on larger paper sizes.  After transitioning  from the wet darkroom to the digital darkroom, I now use state of the art digital pigment printers and archival papers from Hahnemuhle, Epson, Ilford etc.   Printing in this way I am able to achieve the refinement, precision, consistency and archival longevity I want.

Matted/framed sizes available are:  8 by 11 matted to 16 by 20, 12 by 16 matted to 19 by 24, 15 by 20 matted to 22 by 28. Edition sizes are very limited and are determined by the specific image and or body of work.  

I use medium format cameras, (Mamiya RB67, Mamiya 645 Pro and 12mp Digital slrs for image capture.  All prints are archivally produced and are available unmounted (loose), matted or matted and framed.         

       

Prices subject to change:   Sizes are Image Sizes followed by Matt sizes.

WHY I PRINT DIGITALLY: ITS THE IMAGE THAT MATTERS , NOT THE PROCESS 

As a perfectionist, digital printing has offered me the ability to fine tune my work to fit my exact vision.  Even when my work

is "straight', where I have used minimal dodging and burning, I prefer printing digitally.  I often will rework an image again

that I may have thought is finished, sometimes approaching the image from scratch and NOT simply pressing the PRINT

button as some darkroom practictioners seem to think.  Working in the "lightroom" requires just as much of the Human element.  It still requires patience, artistry, intelligence and above all talent.  With the advent of pigment printers and papers by Hahnemuhle, Epson and Ilford, images printed digitally can now exceed the archival life span of traditional methods and can have a beauty all their own.  One should not confuse the process with the image. Any process can produce beautiful prints. Digital printing is that- just a process. It does not produce the image-THE ARTIST PRODUCES THE IMAGE. In the international art world, digital printing has been embraced by many of the most most talented, inventive and  successful photographers with single prints selling for thousands of dollars. Ultimately a camera is only a device for capturing an image, whether it is film or digital and the process one uses for printing the image is a highly personal one.
