Going to a Good Home- “Along the Shoreline” A set of three 5×5 prints

Anyone who knows me knows that, aside from photography, traveling is one of my favorite hobbies. Whether it be abroad or here in the States, I love traveling to new destinations and discovering all they have to offer but also have some all time favorites that I’ll go back to time and time again. One of my all time favorites is Maine.

Whether shown in photographs or in movies , in person it’s as picturesque and beautiful as you’ve imagined. Small, quaint towns, beautiful, jagged shorelines, and, I have to say it, the best damn lobster sandwiches ever. (A note, if you’re in Maine, passing through Wiscasset, you have GOT to stop at Red’s Eats. It’s a must.)

All that said, it’s no surprise that I have a number of photographs from my visits to this beautiful state. Three of these photographs, “The Beacon,” “Horizon” and “The Line” are all part of a three print limited edition metallic set called, “Along the Shoreline” being offered in my online gallery. While they are listed as 5×5 prints, they’re available in any size from 4×4 all the way up to 30×30 and I’m pleased to say that one of these sets is off to a good home. This limited edition print set is available in my online gallery, along with many others.

Recently I was joking with my number one fan, a.k.a. my mom, about the fact that she keeps lugging framed pieces of my work with her so that she can share them with the various folks she comes across. (Moms are awesome aren’t they?) I teased that I should send her a small photo album with mini prints of each photo so that she could just slip it in her purse and carry it with her wherever she goes. She thought it was a great idea… I was kidding… she wasn’t.

Jokes aside, that got me to thinking. When perusing an online gallery, while high definition monitors and high resolution pictures do allow you to get a pretty good sense of what a photo is going to look like, it’s still not the same as holding the photo in your hand and seeing it up close and personal. This is especially true for the metallic paper that I use. While I can describe a metallic print and explain how it adds vibrancy to colors and an intensity to blacks, I can’t do full justice to just how amazing these prints are.

That said, I’ve begun offering photo swatches for interior designers.  This will allow them to see, first hand, how the colors in each piece play off of one another, how, in the metallic prints, the “chrome” like feel adds a depth to the photograh that others, before they invest in them. This will also allow them to more easily share their suggestions with their client.  After all, you can get a swatch of fabric before you invest huge sums in it, why not a fine art photograph?

The photo swatches will be sample (as they’ll include a copyright at the bottom) 3×5 and 4×4 prints of the pieces I offer in my gallery. Those interested would simply indicate which prints they would like to see and they’ll be shipped out at no charge.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go buy a mini portfolio for my number one fan…

Going to a Good Home- “Beacon”

Ended my day on a happy note with the sale of an 8×8 metallic print, “Beacon.” This is one of my favorite shots of the Port Elizabeth Lighthouse in Portland, Maine. I layered it for a TTV feel (check back for an upcoming blog post to come about “Through the Viewfinder” photography) and absolutely love the colors. The Kodak Endura Metallic paper that it’s printed on truly brings out the vibrant colors and intense blacks in the photo. Very happy to say farewell to this photo as I know the buyer will enjoy it as much as I do! This is a limited edition print that I have relisted in my shop.
