Bridge Over River

The is the bridge crossing over the Manatee River between Palmetto, Florida 

and Bradenton, Florida.  The image was originally photographed

using a iPhone 4s and then produced in Photoshop

using multiple layers.

This photograph would look great on any wall in the home, office, restaurant,

business lobby, hotel, in fact just about any interior.

It can be purchased at Fine Art America on both photographic paper and canvas

 at the link below:

Jungle Journey

Jungle Journey Print

This the image known as Jungle Journey and Long Rope Bridge.  It is the most successful 

selling wall decor item in the history of IKEA.

I photographed the image just outside Sapa, Vietnam in the winter 10 years ago.

The bridge is believed to bring good luck to those that cross it

by the Hmong Indians that live there.

Because of the size that IKEA sells I am often asked for 

smaller sizes which I sell directly and through FineArtAmerica (the above link) 

as well as Image Kind.

My images are produced on the finest quality photographic paper and canvas

available today and are museum quality.  They use both 

archival ink and paper or canvas and will last up to

one hundred years.

Print at IKEA

Over a year ago I received a phone call from a company asking to license an image of mine for print production. I was in the process of moving to the Philippines and all my files were on a slow ocean going freighter and I said I would get back with them when I got set up again.

My computers with the files showed up but by that time I was busy adjusting to a new environment and forgot about it. Six months later one night on a bus in Manila I got a call from them again about the image. They were so anxious to get the license they offered a $1000.00 advance against royalties and I figured what the heck.

We agreed to go ahead with this, I signed a contract and the process began. Finally after close to eight months, last week the image is on sale at IKEA stores world wide.

The reception of the image in the first week has been overwhelming. I have received numerous emails from people telling me how much they like the photograph, how good it looks on their wall and asking where it was taken. People are asking about ordering prints of other images on my website.

I feel very lucky right now and excited. Here is the image. It was photographed in Northern Vietnam near the Chinese border.
