Materials and framing
Although most of my photographs are taken on film, I scan the negatives to convert them to a digital file and eventually print them myself on an archival photo printer as a pigmented ink print or "giclee". In between the negative and the final print I try not to adjust the image too far from the original scene, often just cleaning up spots on the negative digitally and sharpening. My original intent is to try to find scenes that are expressive in themselves, usually near dawn or dusk, and unless I'm unusually lucky the first time I return to the scene till the optimum conditions are there. The prints from the ink and paper combo I use currently should be colorsafe for 100 years.
My photographs are often purchased framed, as I think I offer good quality at a reasonable price. I do all the
handwork myself: the frame cutting and joining, the mat cutting as well as archival drymounting of the photographs.
At the moment I have six frame styles, with the two on the right for the extra-large 28x64" photographs.
It's kind of a formal look, but I like the way it enhances my artwork.
Any of my photographs are available matted for somewhat less cost.
