PRINTING PHILOSOPHY
I personally control the expression and quality of the print. The images are produced in my studio and I am involved in every step of the print-making process If the image is printed from a 35mm transparency they are scanned on professional high-end drum scanner. If they are a digital capture image, I use the highest quality digital camera available at the time. I use a Canon Pro 2000 printer with archival inks and papers. The images are printed on various fine-art papers, each selected for the best rendering of the image. I use Photoshop to "sculpt" the image. I rarely crop and I never alter any content of the image as photographed.
EXPECTED DISPLAY LIFE OF DIGITAL PRINTS
The current archival calculation by Wilhelm Imaging Research is 75 - 100 years, in normal display conditions.
Care should be taken, as with any piece of fine art, not to expose the image to high levels of moisture or sunlight. The print should be treated as a quality fine art watercolor painting. Choosing a location having normal humidity levels and minimum exposure to ultra violet light will provide many years of pleasurable viewing.
PRINT EDITIONS
Some prints are Unlimited; but the most current exhibits are Limited Editions.
All images are signed and numbered on the back of the print. Image is signed on front by request, next to Nevada's chop.
You can find the prices under the tab Price Lists.
Print size of the image, not the paper size, vary, but most commonly they are:
• 17 inches on the long side
• 20 inches on the long side (Not available for the 2022 Invisible World exhibit)
• 24 inches on the long side
• 30 inches on the long side
Short side of the print depends on aspect ratio of image (3x2; 4x3; 1:1; panoramic)
Certain prints are also available in larger sizes and there are also DIPTYCHS, SCROLLS and SQUARES.
