Notes: For ease of do-it-yourself framing, all 8x10 and 11x14 unframed prints are nominally sized (with standard 1/4" margin insets to fit standard framing supplies). All other prints are sold with actual (true) sizing. Frames are 3/4" (19mm) width and are made of wood, except for the chrome-finish frame, which is aluminum. Mats are black core (with a black bevel), providing a 1/16" (1.5mm) width of black line around the photograph. A 1/4" (6mm) margin lies between the mat and the image. The title and India ink signature are placed within this 1/4" margin at the bottom. Backing is foam-core. All materials, including inks, papers, matting, backing, and adhesives, are acid-free. Prints are lacquer top-coated for preservation. Glazing is UV-blocking acrylic.

Artist's description:

I shot this scene during an amazing snow storm on the historic streets of colonial Yorktown, Virginia. It was all I could do to keep my lens dry. The funny thing about this picture was that it had an "apparition" in it, just over the rooftop. I thought it looked like one of our colonial ancesters giving an impassioned speech. Earline thought it looked more like a general ordering troops into battle. Curious to see what it really was, we both took a look at it during clearer weather. It was a lopped off tree with a ball of vines on top (which looked like a head)! I edited it just a bit, since it looked rather strange. Oh yes, I got to the scene just 15 sec too late, after the two figures in the photo had walked too far down the road. No problem; I rescaled and repositioned them. (Click here to learn more and to see "before" and "after" shots.) This image was captured with a Canon 10D, 28-135mm IS USM zoom at 50mm, f/8.0, 1/180s.

Image detail:

    *These are swatches from the image when magnified to the indicated size, as viewed on the average 17" monitor at 1024x768 pixels. They show you the actual sharpness of the print that will hang on your wall. If you have a smaller monitor or have your monitor configured with more pixels, you should "imagine" these swatches a bit larger. Please note that compression artifact (including checkering and banding around higher contrast edges) may be evident as you view these images online. This is a compromise in jpeg images that makes them quicker to load on a web page. The printed image will not have these defects, unless noted under "Artist's technical assment of the image quality. (See "Compression artifact")."
