Single Images — Japan

Most of my work is now pigment on paper. Here is why. Most images are approximately 8x10" printed on 11x14" paper — exceptions are noted. The prints are signed and numbered. They are printed on heavy weight Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 310gms/m2 archival paper. Here is a look at a sample full sheet as they are printed.

They are shipped in an archival crystal clear sleeve with archival backing board, packaged flat for shipping in appropriate shipping cartons.

I offer a select group of images as, well, sort of samples of my work. Each of these selected individual prints is offered here for $20 plus shipping. Twenty dollars was good enough for Edward Weston; it is more than enough for the rest of us – even including inflation. The philosophical foundation of my uncommon pricing strategy for these selected prints.

Onagawa Fish Market, Onagawa, Japan, 1990 Onagawa Fish Market, Onagawa, Japan, 1990

Purchase

There is no doubt that the Japanese live off the bounty of the sea. In front of the Onagawa fish market this display of drying, salted fish literally glowed in the morning sun, their shiny skins a metallic silver.

No tiny plot of land goes uncultivated in Japan. Leeks, daikon radishes, persimmons, seaweed, fish – all in order, tight and tidy rows – all being prepared for market or meals.
