About My Prints

I like to present my prints as fine art images, mated to an 18 x 24  size in a simple frame and nothing else. I hate placing glass over any image. I have to be able to look directly into my prints without having  to cope with reflections bouncing off of a sheet of glass or a glossy print surface.

I have found that my ink-jet printer loaded with pigment inks just thrives with printing on Hahnemuhle’s Bamboo paper. This archival quality fine art paper and pigment inks produce images that really do have a third dimension, a physical depth that I have never seen before in anything that I have used. This warm tone matte surface paper, made from bamboo fibers, is my all-time favorite paper. It is nothing short of spectacular for the images that I love to make.

When I make an image that makes me happy, I need to share it with others. As each individual takes a moment or more to study my work, I am hoping to hear those wonderful words, “absolutely beautiful.” Then, and only then, will I know that I have indeed been successful. My quest is never complete unless and until others can see the beauty in the subject that I saw and can hear the stories that I heard when I was shooting and processing the image.
