The “Gotta-Go!” Page
A couple of critical parts of selling photographic images is proofing and exhibiting. Proofing occurs early on in the process and often results in near “acceptable” products when dealing with metal, acrylic or canvas prints. Most often, these prints, which I purchase from professional print labs, are okay but not the tonality I want. Being a “cheap” individual, instead of destroying them, they tend to stack up until I can not longer tolerate it and then they must “go.”
Exhibiting can also be an issue for an artist. The more traveled an artwork is, the more wear and tear some artwork starts to exhibit. Other artworks just have a higher price-point than the viewing public was willing to spend, especially in the 2023-2024 seasons. These pieces would normally be retired and taken out of circulation, ending up on my home and studio walls. But, eventually they get filled as well. So what to do to remedy this situation?

These images were taken on March 4, 2025 to demonstrate what I am referring to when I speak of defects or wear on an image. The frame on this matted print is approximately ten years old and has been used on a couple framings over the years. Use and transport has taken its toll on the frames but the non-glare glass, the acid-free matte and print are in great shape. The blue tape you see in the image is part of the protective bubble wrap this framed print is stored in.
My apology for the reflections. As mentioned above these were taken in a hurry, in my basement under fluorescent lighting with an older iPhone.
