I try to bring you a new photo (or several new ones) on a fairly regular basis. This can be every day, every week, or every month, depending on whether a good item of art "happens". If I do not have a good image available, then nothing is presented.
I try very hard to bring you very high quality art. I work very hard at this. Many of the pictures generally are very carefully selected to be the best that I am able to do. The purpose is that you find the viewing enjoyable, moving, and/or that it "srikes a nerve" in some way. I have devoted quite a bit of effort to this end. Of course in the future I am hoping to be able to do better.
Material is sometimes a photograph. Sometimes it is an enhanced photograph. Sometimes it is a reference photograph. Artistic license is applied to all work.
Sometimes I present "only" a picture. At other times accompanying text is presented. Sometimes a series of pictures is presented.
It is not unusual to spend several hours per image shown in these web pages. I pick through a few bins of images to find "just that right image" to present. Then there are the details of inserting the image into a web page, and of inserting the web page into the site. These things all take time - more time than one realizes.
The date if given is the date the picture is presented on the web. In some cases pictures may have been presented earlier. It is not generally the date when the picture was taken.
Occasionally pictures marked on a given date are put out a day earlier or a day later, and in some cases it may be a few days.
The web pages pertaining to a given date are allowed to change after they are put out. (This makes it not a true archive necessarily.) This is at my discretion. In other words, a page that you see in the archive may not be exactly the same as what may have first appeared on the given date. Changes may be to fix typos and grammar errors. This is usually what will change if anything. However, it is also possible that additional images or text can be added or removed. Links may also be added to refer to other pertinent web pages.
All orders are custom orders. Prints are not available for all items. The quality can vary, depending on many factors. High quality 8x10 glossy prints are available for some items. Obtaining 4x6 and 5x7 prints is also possible. Contact me via the address on the main page. You can ask for a phone number if you would like to talk by phone.
