  • Lucky new owner!

  • Congrats Howah!

  • haha, no Patti, I meant to congratulate the new owner.... I WISHED I could afford it..

  • Superb! I like it.
  • This shows the piece very much to its advantage. Well presented!

  •  thanks , I have been taking the time (as I did before I was jammed ) to take the photos properly.  I have and had professional equipment but didn't have the peace of mind to either take the time and do photos correctly or bring everything to the city to photographers there. Where I live it's hard to find people that do object and fine art work.   I choose natural light which is better for me as it's quicker and I find some times the lighting if not on proper back round also is too tungsten and there is too much color manipulation to do. This way it's more true. I have a good place now to do it in the building I built last year with the sky lights and french doors.. I set up in there and it's very good so I think this will help allot in doing a better job with the pieces. I will take photos of everything now that is a bad photo in my files ie what i'm selling first and then re present it with new photos.
