Gary with his sword, 1976This photo was featured on the November 2016 cover of The Sun magazine. Its one of my favorites. Gary and his friends often followed me around camp, pestering me to take their picturesand I often did. When I saw him running around with his plastic sword skillfully tied with a cloth ribbon scabbard, he didnt have to asked. I found a suitable background with good light and Gary stood at attention all the while I set up my tripod. I stood with my face

This photo was featured on the November 2016 cover of The Sun magazine. It’s one of my favorites. Gary and his friends often followed me around camp, pestering me to take their pictures—and I often did.  When I saw him running around with his plastic sword skillfully tied with a cloth ribbon scabbard, he didn’t have to asked. I found a suitable background with good light and Gary stood at attention all the while I set up my tripod. I stood with my face just above the camera and asked him to look me in the eyes.  He hadn’t moved anything but his eyes the entire time. Good soldier.

His pacifist hippie mom, Barbara, hated the photo and wanted to kill me. “My son’s not a violent war monger!” Right, your son is a lively, imaginative, energetic boy—a very cool kid. Fortunately for me, Barbara had signed a model release covering herself and her son. After a while I heard no more complaints from mom.

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
