The Prints
"A Photographic Image Is Literally Made Of Time,
Showing Viewers The Projection Of An Instant In History."
Today, with the advent of digital imaging and cell phone cameras,
very few (less than 1%) of photographs are printed on paper.
Prior to this almost all negatives were printed, these snapshots
and family photos were often stashed away in shoe boxes or albums
and could be viewed again years later. The negatives were generally
not saved, the paper prints are usually all that remain.
Today's cellphone and snapshot photographs, which number in the billions,
we fear will be completely lost in just a few short years as storage
devices change and the digital files are not backed up or printed.
We understand the importance of printing and framing photographs
and realize that these pictures will most likely be saved and
enjoyed for generations.
Producing photographic prints is part science and part art.
We masterfully restore and enhance the original images by removing
surface dust, scratches and anything that wasn't there at the time
of the exposure. This process can reveal details and tonalities
often resulting in prints that look even better than the originals.
In some cases we've decided to leave in some of the defects and damage
of the glass plate negatives, where we feel it enhances their vintage
appearance.
Our fine art photography prints, sometimes referred to as "giclee",
are made with pigment inks on museum grade paper to ensure
lasting archival quality. These are all "open edition" prints,
making them affordable and available to discerning art buyers on a budget.
Our photography prints display a much higher resolution and tonal range
than the jpeg images shown on this site.
All of our Prints come pre-matted with a Beveled Cut, Archival Mat Board.
The Border Dimensions may vary somewhat depending on the aspect ratio of
the picture. Backing on all of our prints is 1/8" Acid Free Foam Core Board.
When shopping for a frame, please allow a 3/8 depth to accommodate
this thickness. Finished Prints come in a clear protective sleeve.
Available in Two Standard Sizes, Matted to 11 X 14 and 18 X 24 inches.
We've decided to leave the framing to you! Our two standard sizes are
very common in the framing industry and Ready-Made Frames are widely
available in both of our standard sizes.
We specialize in photographs made before the advent of color photography.
Either Black & White or "Sepia Tone", roughly following printing
techniques of their time period. Black & White images are matted in Crisp White,
while Sepia and hand colored images are done with Antique White Mats
for a vintage look.
The Matted Prints are shipped to you flat and not in a tube.
Pricing and sizes for prints can be viewed through the galleries.
