Many of the displayed photographs in the gallery can be purchased as high quality photo prints.

To purchase a print, enlarge any photo you'd like. If it is for sale, you will see a "buy print" link. Clicking on this will start the selling process, where you can choose print size and are guided through the details. Once you are finished entering the shipping details, you are forwarded to a secure site which handles all the payment details.

Once your order is placed, the print will be processed within 24 to 48 hours, excluding weekends and (US) holidays. You will also receive an email confirming your order.

All photographs are printed with a 1/4" (0.6 cm) white border, so it is easy for you to have a print matted and framed from your favourite gallery or framing store. If you would like to order a custom matted and framed print, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am working very closely with a Gallery and Framing store of my trust, which will be glad to provide you with a customized solution.

state of the art print quality.

Photographs are printed in state of the art quality featuring digital C-prints on Kodak Endura e-surface paper.

The digital C-print process, also called chromogenic color print, is based on the classic photo print process introduced by Kodak during the middle of the last century. The photo paper, which contains an emulsion of light sensitive chemicals is exposed to laser light, resulting in crisp, durable and high quality photographs. This is well beyond your average inkjet print. It is a real photograph.

The professional e-surface paper from Kodak ensures a wide color gammut for true and very rich colors. With its 100 year standard archival value it surely stands the test of time and will usually outlive its' first owner.
