Prints and Purchasing
In order to assure the quality of
each photograph I sell, I do all my own processing and printing. In my
black and white work, I have melded what I consider to be the best of
traditional film cameras with the most up-to-date digital rendering: I
use silver based film and arcane processing techniques followed by
digital scanning and file processing in Photoshop. I then make
prints using giclιe printers and paper by Hahnemuhle, with a subtle
hextone mix of carbon pigment inks by Cone. My color work is
digital start to finish, the inks made by Lyson.
Giclιe is a French word that translates into "spraying" in English, as the giclιe printer sprays millions of microscopic droplets of ink per second onto the media. My black and white workflow allows the six shades of carbon pigment ink I use to produce thousands of shades in grayscale and continuous tone rendering generally associated with wet darkroom processes, but with a greater overall tonal range. Similarly, my color work also blends six pigmented inks.
The pigments and
paper I use have been carefully chosen and proven through exhaustive
testing to achieve the greatest tonal range and longevity, along with
the least fade or color-shift of any available in the digital
marketplace. With reasonable care, my prints will exhibit no
visible deterioration for many generations.
I number and sign each print on the margin. Value for collectors is safeguarded by incremental price increases with each 20 prints sold of any image. Base prices listed below are for unmounted and unframed carbon pigment and color giclιe prints on 100% rag paper. Other sizes are available on request. Shipping is not included.
