INTRODUCTION
A photographic print can be a magical place to spend time. When everything is just right, and it becomes a transparent window on reality, the experience can be transcendent. But as my friend Joel Meyerowitz said in Cape Light, “...to make a print that is subtle, luminous, and true to both memory and fact often takes many hours and many printings.” He was of course talking about the chemical process that many of us grew up with, and few still practice. But the time, dedication, and conviction to try every possible approach in order to duplicate reality on a sheet of paper remains the same.
If we work together on a project, I will apply this philosophy and attention to detail in the printing or scanning of your work. If after a concerted effort I feel that I simply cannot translate the image to my standards (or yours), there is no charge. That is my personal guarantee.
