From real to virtual plus more...

Owning a physical gallery was a great privilege, but questions remained... How could I feature more images and image makers and even better images? How could I add more useful information and make it easily accessible? How could I increase educational offerings? How could I add new tools for image makers? And last, but not least, the ever-present questions, how can find many more visitors and pay for all of this?

The logical answer was to move from a physical presence costing may thousands of dollars annually to an online presence at a far more reasonable cost. But, for a print addict like me, the idea of giving up tangible, viewable prints, that I have always regarded as the ultimate photographic medium, is hard.

One way of addressing this is to offer prints through our "lab partner" http://www.ecovisuallab.com, the world's first virtually 100% green custom photo "lab." Their prints are museum quality, archival, made from sustainable, reclaimed fibers from cottonseed oil manufacturing (food grade) using entirely VOC-free inks. I believe you will find EcoVisualLab's prints to be among the finest you have ever seen in black-and-white or color. Look for prints for sale on our site. You will often have the choice between prints provided by the image maker and prints from our "lab partner."
