The photo above, Reflections of Huntington Beach Pier at Sunset, will be available as part of a silent auction at the Bob White Invitational on Saturday, March 13th benefiting the Royal Family Kids Camp. A signed 16×20 metallic print, with black frame and off-white matte (total wall size 20×28). Normally I would sell this combination for around $400 so it’s a great opportunity to get a stunning print and help out a worthy cause. Entrance to the tournament is free, and all net proceeds from the invitational go to the RFKC. I photographed the tournament last year and had a blast watching the kids compete in their various events. The kids get quite intense, and then as soon as they are done sparring sit down on the mat and start talking/playing with their opponent as only kids can do.
I’ve been running a number of test prints as of late, testing out metallic color/black and white prints as well as true black and white prints. Part of me is quite torn, I received an order from Adorama Pix today, after close to two weeks of haranguing and badgering on my part. I originally put a two day rush on the order, and then found out a week later their black and white printer was busted. It would have been nice if they had informed me of that. They then told me, on two separate occasions, that I would have the prints the next day…and yet no prints showed up. After a third conversation yesterday…today the prints, or at least half of the prints, finally arrived. And here is where the being torn part comes in. They were stunning. The metallic black and white prints absolutely blew me away and now I’m off searching for frames. But, I’m not sure I can switch my fulfillment over to them if they have customer service issues. So far Exposure Manager has done an excellent job. And I have a 7 true black and white prints, from mpix, on the way as well (shh…don’t tell Andree, they were on sale and I couldn’t resist). And since we’ll be moving in a few months I’ll probably just end up offering them for sale (stay tuned). My incessant need to test out various print vendors is apparently your benefit. That, or my office walls are going to be very crowded.
