Working with medium and large negative sizes, the goal is a print rich in detail, with full tonality and little if any visible grain.  Pleasing overall composition complements detailed content, producing a print that appeals to the viewer from accross the room and also rewards closer examination.

Ample negative size allows large prints suited to display at home or office.  Standard sizes range up to 16x20 inches, mounted typically in 24x30 inch mats.  Larger sizes are available to order.

Classic Materials Images are captured on black and white film, printed on classic fiber-based silver gelatin paper.  Traditional chemical processing stresses long-term stability of prints, including thorough fixing, washing, and toning with selenium.  Barring exposure to direct sunllight or chemical fumes, these B&W prints are expected to last over 100 years. 

Selenium toning protects silver grains that form the image from air pollution and reduuces the fading effect of bright light.  Toning may be light, which doesn't create a noticable color change but may "warm" the neutral black tone of the base paper.  Heavier toning can turn the image a distinct brownish color sometimes seen in historical prints.

Printes are delivered mounted on acid-free materials of the highest quality.  Framing, matting, and glazing of comperable quality are available to order.

Hand-Crafted Artworks The photographer creates every print by hand, personally handling every processing step from taking the picture tthrough devloping film to enlarging the print.  He supervises mounting and framing to ensuure highest quality.
