First, let me thank you for visiting my website! The goal of this site is to offer you as wide a selection of my photography as I can, because as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'd rather offer you lots of my photos instead of just a select few, and let you find what you like.

I hope the site reflects my passion of photography, as it represents countless hours of work, though it is a labor of love.

I do want to point out that all of the photos on this site were taken with film cameras. I still prefer the look of film, and while it comes at the expense of time and money, for me it is well worth it.

Please see below for more information on the prints I offer. You can also see my biography, and my customer list. Feel free to email me if you have any quesions, or just want to say hi!

Thank you,


Amsterdam

Prints - I custom print all of the photographs per order. The photos are printed on Epson ultrachrome inkjet printers, taking advantage of the latest digital technologies to produce photos that have bright, vivid colors and very wide tonal ranges. The prints have archival ratings of a least 70 years.

Delivery - It typically takes two to three days from the time you place an order before it goes out - via UPS. If you need to get it sooner, let me know, and I will do what I can.

Refunds - If you are unhappy with the photo for any reason, I will refund your money (minus shipping).

Wholesale - Designers and art consultants should contact me for my wholesale price list.

Licensing - My Washington, D.C. images are available on DCstockphoto, for other photos see here.

 

Open Edition Pricing
(Pricing on Limited Editions varies.)

The Prints have white borders to allow for framing. The print size indicates the paper size, so the actual image is smaller.

Framed Prints

I am now offering the 8 x 11 prints framed. They are done with a black wood frame and a white mat, protected with UV resistant anti-glare acrylic.

All of the photos on the site are film based. I scan the film at very high resolution, and then process the images digitally.

Printing digitally allows me to have much greater control over the final product so the prints are typically superior to those done with traditional printing methods. Printing digitally also speeds the delivery time, and allows me to sell the prints at a lower cost. The prints have an archival rating of at least 70 years.

alt colors

I can convert the color photos into black & white, sepia or blue tone at no extra cost. Because I print the photos per order I can change the image size if needed at no extra charge; the pricing is based on the paper size.

Simply indicate at checkout in the "Special Instructions" section if you would like the prints converted to black and white or toned.
