The “Farm On Route 67” is now for sale, a signed 81/2 by 11 print on archival paper for $60 plus $10 shipping ($70), more outside of the United States.

The image is 8 1/2 x 11 unframed. I’ll sign each of the prints, it will be an open edition.
The picture speaks for itself, I think, it has generated a lot of interest from people thinking about buying it. About ten people asked to buy it before it went on sale.
I’m going to be selling photos from time to time, my idea is that they will be distinctive, distinguishable from smartphone photos or digital camera lenses. The farmhouse and the small barn are in sharp focus, the periphery is softer to create a particular and timeless kind of effect. A challenge for me, I am really learning about photography with this lens, there is no autofocus or image stabilizer.
It will probably take a couple of weeks to get the photos, George Forss is tied up printing the limited edition Blue Heron pictures, which have sold out.
The photograph was taken with a Daguerrotype lens combined with a Chevalier lens, it was made by the Lomography Co., a Kickstarter project. This is a re-issue of the first optical lens ever made for photography, it was built in the 1830’s. It seeks to revive a once popular kind of photography, lens that were softer and more magical, that had some of the elements of a painting.
We are working hard to offer these photos as inexpensively as possible while printing them in the highest quality way. This photo will be printed on the best archival paper. Maria is handling the sales of these photographs and treating them like any of the art she sells, she is taking her usual commission (after some prodding.)
If you are interested in purchasing the Route 67 photo, please contact Maria, she’s [email protected], or use the Paypal button on her blog or the post office box listed above. And thanks very much.
