Artist's Picks
While the majority of photos on this site are for sale, this album contains the ones I find to be the most appealing.
All photos on this site are printed as limited editions. No more than 101 prints will be made of any image. They are titled, signed, and numbered (0-100) by the photographer (me). Images numbered "0" remain in my private collection, and are not for sale. A record is kept of the original purchaser of each image, including the title, print number, and date of purchase.
These prints are photographic prints, not lithographic or ink-jet "posters". They are professionally imaged on matte-finish photographic paper using a LightJet photo printer. All prints are "best fit" on a 16"x20" sheet (the final image may be smaller in one dimension, depending on the aspect ratio). They are professionally mounted on acid-free archival board, matted, and framed. Matte color will be chosen based on the palette of the image. The frame is brushed, black American frame. Custom framing choices are available, but may involve additional charges (this is determined by the framing shop). Hanging wire is included in the framing. The glass is standard glass; UV-protective glass is available for a small charge. If you have any questions or special requests, please let me know. Since each image is processed individually, it's rather simple for me to accommodate special requests.
Each print is created and framed on demand. This means that there is a processing time of 4-6 weeks. If you are ordering the print as a gift for a special occasion, please order well enough in advance. Rush orders may be possible, but the matting & framing is done by a local frame shop, out of my control, so there are no guarantees for delivery dates. Every effort will be made, however, to assure prompt delivery.
As a side note: The models involved in the photos receive a significant portion of the profits from each sale. These models originally donated their time and their skills, receiving only copies of the images and a free meal after the shoot. The proceeds from your purchase is a small "thank you", and an encouragement to continue modelling.

Purchase Framed Prints
Most of the images shown here are available for purchase as framed, matted prints.
To purchase an image as a print, select the image for viewing. At the bottom of the page is a drop-down menu labeled "Item actions". Select "Add Photo To Cart". This will open your shopping cart. If you return to the gallery before completing your transaction, you may view your cart at any time by right clicking on the page an selecting your shopping cart from the floating sidebar that will appear (Javascript must be enabled).
All prints are sold based on a 16x20-inch "best fit" layout. This means that the image will be printed in correct proportions on a 16x20 sheet of photographic paper and then trimmed to match it's actual proportions. All images are professionally printed using state-of-the-art equipment and professional-grade materials. They are mounted on acid-free backing using corner blocks. The matte is a neutral grey, 1.25 inches wide (after framing). The frame is flat black American Frame standard aluminum. The glass is plain (non-archival).
Matte, frame, glass, and mounting can all be upgraded or customized for an additional charge. Please e-mail me to discuss any custom options and pricing.
All standard prints are sold at a cost of $300 US. Shipping is an additional $20. Payment processing is handled by PayPal. Their system will accept Visa, MasterCard and, of course, PayPal. Your receipt will list a payment to an address at dragonflydreams.org. Both printing and framing are done by professional companies, and are out of my hands. Expect 6-8 weeks to complete and ship your order.
FYI: The models in these photographs receive a commission on all sales of their images. These models have not been otherwise paid for these photographs, nor for their time spent modeling.
