They say we don’t dream in color, but in black and white.
I have chosen to produce many of the photos you see in my galleries in black and white, but nearly any of the color photos can be produced as a black and white print.
If you want a particular photo printed in black and white that isn’t displayed that way in my gallery, just let me know.

I can convert any of my photos to a digital 'painting'. Understand that no paints are used in this artistic reproduction...it is all done by me digitally, using a digital 'paint' brush, etc.
Go ahead and order this print if you want (it will not have the writing on the print). Otherwise, use the Contact page to tell my which photo you would like to have reproduced as a ditgiital painting. I will send you a proof at no cost, and the digital painting version will be the same price as a non-painting version.
Looks best as a canvas gallery wrap!
