Hello: Please bear with me as I get my site back up. I am slowly putting all the photos and text back in place. Thank you.
First, let me tell you who I am. I'm a child of the 60's, ironically, now in my sixties. I have a camera(s), I shoot photos. I hope they are good photos. I try to sell these hopefully good photos.
Ah, the years have gone by. But I can still aim my camera at that that pleases me. Which actually is still a lot.
Here, I would like to briefly address what I consider a pressing issue. Why I have chosen to go the digital route in printing many of my older negatives: (Rolling Stones, Muhammad Ali, etc.) rather than sticking to the fine art, b&w (or color) lab route. Let me make an analogy. You bring your car in for a tuneup. You change the oil. You properly inflate the tires. You then drive one mile, pull over, take out the spark plugs, drain the oil, and let the air out of your tires. You put it all back together and drive another mile before repeating the process. Would you do that in real life? No! Then why do it in the photographs you purchase? One photo at a time at a regular lab is a labor intensive endeavor. The negative is handled multiple times to make multiple prints. Inevitably, that involves spotting specks of dust or even possibly damaging the negative in one careless moment. Digital is a one shot deal. You make the scan once, clean up all imperfections, and you hide the negative away safely. It is cheaper to make on my end and therefore I can charge less. THE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT! I do not mean to compare my prints to the glorious work of Ansel Adams or Edward Weston. But for all practical purposes these are beautiful prints.
The prints are made from my original negatives which have been scanned to my computer via a Nikon negative scanner at 4000ppi, then burned to a disk, and printed at a digital lab on regular photographic RC paper. I charge $15 for each 8x10 photo. Shipping and handling is determined by how many photos you ordered. If just one and in the US, it goes out US Mail for $5, otherwise I mail UPS--size of order will determine the charge. I sign the photos on the bottom. If you are a collector of Stones photos, these are a bargain. I would love to sell one or two million of these. I also do larger blowups for those who need to cover their walls with something more interesting than plain paint or wall paper. 11x14's are $40. 16x20's are $95. 20x24's are $140. All Rolling Stones photos are black and white.

I've moved way out to the country. It's beautiful but rugged. Let's see what is does to my cynical disposition.
