I'm really pleased to be able to offer prints for sale which will benefit the great hounds at the House of Puddles. These photos are from the annual HOP party, both the 2007 and 2008 get-togethers.
You would think that in a household consisting of nearly 20 basset hounds, that they would all blend together -- but that's not the case. Each one has their own unique personality, some more flamboyant than others, and whenever I have the camera out with them I try to capture that uniqueness. I certainly haven't been able to catch all the dogs individually (you're always working in a sea of snoots and tails!) and there are one or two real camera hounds, but I hope there's enough variety here to be entertaining.
There are also people photos here, basset-owning visitors and their dogs. You'll notice that some visiting dogs cling quite fiercely to their owners!
What I'd like to offer is 7 inch square silver gelatin prints, hand made on fibre based paper in the good old-fashioned darkroom. I make these to order, so a print will take up to 2 or 3 weeks to ship. In the odd case that a negative doesn't print well I will offer alternative ways of printing, such as lith printing, or bleach and redevelopment. I can also offer liquid silver emulsion prints for anyone who is interested. Because I do everything by hand, each print I make is different, and I want to make sure that you're totally satisfied with your print when it arrives. If you're not, just return the print and I'll give you a complete refund
I've made these reasonably priced, in open editions, and each print sold will benefit the dogs. Vet bills, food, medicines -- these aren't getting any cheaper. Why not pick up a nice photo and help the hounds at the same time?
Pricing:
$45 7 inch print, or 7x9ish from 35mm negatives
$60 7 inch print, matted to your specifications (have a favorite frame you want to use? -- we can make it fit! -- I can also suggest online sources for inexpensive frames.) Note: fibre prints really need to be matted so that the print can breathe.
$65 specialty print. Liquid silver emulsion, lith print, or anything larger than 7 inch print. I can print up to 10 inches square, or15 inches square for liquid emulsion.
$5 shipping
$10 shipping international and domestic larger size.
double the shipping for matted and/or framed prints.

Undecided? Want to give a gift? I can do gift cards, too. I'll make a tiny print and enclose it in a handmade 4 1/2 x 5 ish folio along with a note that they have been given the print of their choice from this collection.. The wonderful thing about it is that you're actually giving two gifts when you do this!
Don't hesitate to contact me with questions or requests. And thank you for your support. It means so much to so many.
Please note: if you have trouble with the flash application photo viewer for the 2008 prints, you can use the arrow navigation at the top left of this page. It's incomplete it this point, but I'm working on it & you can certainly email me with questions or problems. Thanks!
