My Digital Prints



NEW! All my photographs are now available as 14"x11" digital prints! (Image area is up to 12"x9" depending on the aspect ratio of the photograph.) The price is only $200 and includes shipping within the United States.

My digital prints are hand-printed and signed Epson Ultrachrome inkjet prints. These durable pigment-ink prints fully meet my exacting artistic standards while making my work available to those who cannot afford dye transfer prints. I print the digital prints up to 17" x 22" on the finest quality double-weight semiglossy fiber base paper (similar in look to the surface of the dye transfer prints). The larger digital prints are on heavyweight semiglossy RC paper. Like the dye transfers, prints have at least 1" of white paper around the and are titled and signed the prints in archival ink under the image.


Here are descriptions and screen images of all the digital prints I've done to date, grouped (arbitrarily) by type, subject matter and theme.

Alcoa Building, Pittsburgh ~ 1972

I photographed the Alcoa building in Pittsburgh in 1972. It made a gorgeous silver gelatin print. I was too new at printing to realize that was an entirely fortuitous combination of film and print paper tonal characteristics. After that paper was discontinued, I could never again make an acceptable-looking print. Last year I realized digital printing would let me recreate the character- istic curve I needed. It took a third of a century, but once again it's lovely. (239K JPEG)

Each of these panoramic photographs is magnificently detailed. You can click the thumbnails for the usual large JPEG, but to fully appreciate them, you really ought to click the "really large JPEG" links (which are still a fraction of the real photograph's size) and pan across the images in your browser. You'll be entranced.

(If you are interested in a print even larger than the listed sizes, please email me. I can print most of these much larger.)
