about acquiring limited edition prints

 
Paul in his darkroom

All of my limited edition prints are museum quality, and are made from large-format 4x5 negatives. Each print is individually hand crafted personally by me, using only archival materials and procedures. Starting from the negative, the image is fine tuned over several darkroom sessions to bring out the expressive feeling of the final print.

I uses only fiber-based paper, which has been shown over the years to be far more stable than the more modern resin-coated paper. I selenium tone each print to provide "depth" and archival permanence. Mounting and matting are done using only the finest, museum-quality all-rag mat board, and the archival mounting adhesive can be removed if necessary by re-heating.

If desired, I can provide unmounted prints to meet your custom specifications.
