The Photographs chosen for this show were selected
from prior exhibits at the Wilkes Art Gallery in North Wilkesboro,
NC, and at the Caldwell County Arts Council in Lenoir, NC.
They include images made in celebration of the natural world and
others produced for the promotion of the extraordinary musicians
of western North Carolina. Notes about specific photographs can
be found by clicking any image on this site.
Galleria Space at the Johnson City Public Library was made possible
by the patrons of the library. Thank you very much!

All prints offered for sale are photographic
prints on Kodak Endura paper. Displayed properly, they'll outlive
you and your children. However, framed prints shown in this exhibit
have not been prepared using archival materials. The glass is
not UV-resistant. The mats and mounting boards are buffered but
not acid-free. Mats for the exhibition prints were cut from Crescent
SRM987. Frames are gun metal aluminum, profile P1, from FramingSupplies,
Inc. of Hendersonville.
Framed prints for
sale are mounted using "archival
corners" for easy removal and remounting using the buyer's
preferred mats and materials. ("Transit of Venus" and "Portage
Lake" are permanently mounted to non-archival mounting
boards and thus are not offered for sale as framed works. I'll
be happy to supply prints of these works for you to frame as
you see fit. )
There's only one framed instance of
each photograph
available, but all print-only offers are unlimited editions.
If you want the framed print straight off the wall, I'll be happy
to sell it to you (except for the two noted above). Just
drop me a line at davidcortner@pobox.com or
use the contact form (click
here) and I'll make all the arrangements
for you to claim it at the library at the conclusion of the show.
Shipping framed works can be a bear, but we can work that out,
too, if you're from outside the area.
Prints can be signed
by request. Use the "message
to seller" field
during check out to tell me that you'd like your print signed,
and I'll oblige with an enthusiastic scrawl in the margin below
the lower right corner. You and your framer can decide whether
to expose the signature or leave it concealed below the mat.
Also, there's nothing sacred about the sizes offered: I
realize that what works in a spacious gallery might not work
in your living room. I'll be happy to discuss
alternate sizes. I can't really reduce pricing for smaller prints
very much since you're mostly covering time already invested
in finishing an image rather than out-of-pocket lab and materials
costs, but I'll be happy to work with you to make sure you get
a print that's appropriate to your available space. And if you
want something larger for a public space, we can do that, too.
You're welcome to use your credit card, and you
do not need to join or to be a member of Paypal to order.
Unframed, unmatted prints
will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation.
Priority shipping for a single print to any US
or Canadian address will be $6.00. Order two or more and shipping
is free. There is a governor's cut only if you have the
print deliverd in NC. 7% sales tax will be added for prints delivered
to my neighbors in NC. If anything arrives damaged, just send
it home for a replacement; I'll cover shipping both ways.
