For the next seven days, 25 copies of the above print (sans the black border) will be available for purchase for $100 each. Shipping and handling is included.

The photos are unmounted and printed with archival inks on high quality paper. I’ve signed and sequentially numbered each print. The image is 9″ x 6″ on white 8.5″ x 11″ photographic paper. This sizing allows room for the signature and print number to be displayed with a standard-sized matte and frame (not included).

25 prints is considered a very small print run. Once these prints are sold, that’s it, there will be no more printed.

The first person to place their confirmed order (please don’t pay with a bank echeck as those take 3-5 days to clear) will receive print number “1/25″. The second person to place their confirmed order will receive print number “2/25″, … Therefore, the sooner you get your order in, the better.

Edited February 4, 2010: To keep the numbering system fair, I’ve decided to randomly choose the number of the print each buyer will receive (ie: the first person to order may receive print number 7/25, and the next person to order may receive print number 3/25).

Remember, these are signed prints. Often photographers use fulfillment houses to print and ship their orders and thus only offer numbered prints, not signed and numbered. I personally print each copy using archival photographic inks (rated at over 100 years) on Kodak paper. I verify the quality and sign and number each print. Prints shipped within the U.S.A. are packaged in Priority Mail shipping tubes to ensure their safe and timely arrival.

On January 28, 2010 (one week from now), the price for any remaining prints will be increased to $150 each.

NOTE January 21, 2010 9:51 AM: Since the PayPal link was not working properly on the FeedBurner or RSS feeds, to keep the numbering system fair, I have removed the purchase link here online also. I will post a working RSS/FeedBurner/Web PayPal link later this evening in the next blog entry. Sorry for the inconvenience. Wayne

Some Background on the Photo

When I was a kid, we lived in Oscar Scherer State Park for about three years and to this day, I still consider it “home.” Oscar Scherer is located north of Venice, on the west coast of Florida. We used to canoe on the creek, swim in the lake, feed the alligators, and hike the trails. I even met my first rattlesnake in the park. It was a great place to grow up.

Oscar Scherer was also one of my first stops in my great RV travel adventure. Here’s the blog entry where the above photo was first posted.
