Proofs are indexed by state name To view proofs, click on 'Photo Proofs' tab at left All pictures framed with 24 x 18 or 14 x 11 acid free mats and acid free backing. The images are 18 x 12 or 9.5 x 6.5 inches. Because of travel schedule I do not be accepting internet orders - however, you may try to e-mail me to see if I can get a footprint out to you - use the "Contact Me" link for this purpose Please see "Upcoming Shows" page to see the dates of and the locations of where my work will be on display and will be for sale in the upcoming months. I have entered shows in Florida, South Carolina and Alabama for 2012 and 2013. As I am accepted for each show I will add it to the list. |
| All over the United States there are things that have been left behind and forgotten. Perhaps an old family homestead in Alabama, a no longer used barn in the middle of the Kansas prairie, a long ago replaced truck or tractor on an old county road, a deserted school building, or someone’s failed business venture located along highway that has been bypassed by an Interstate. These images caught my eye as I passed by. These abandoned structures, vehicles and implements are found on mostly on back roads, but also along interstate highways and even within inner cities. Many of the things that I have photographed are no longer there. I have preserved these images so that, even when the building or vehicle is gone, a memory of its having existed will have been preserved. |
| Each footprint in this collection is individually composed and printed by the artist. The photos are printed on archival glossy and archival metallic coated paper using HP Ink. They are matted and mounted with acid free materials. The 24 x 18 large photos are double matted over an 18 x 12 image and each has a plaque telling where the picture was taken. Each print is sealed in the frame with a dust cover and has hardware attached and stainless steel braided wire for hanging. No two footprints are created at the same time and each is worked on and edited by itself. All photos are signed but, since each print is created on a one-at-a-time basis, none are numbered. Because of this technique, footprints of the same subject matter may display differing details within pictures of the same subject. |
