The Story

As a newer landmark in Baltimore, the Pendry hotel is constantly being photographed by pretty much, well, everybody. In order to come up with a unique image, I knew I would have to put some thought into the where, when, and why, of it all. “Pendry On Fire” represents an idea that became a lesson in determination, or perhaps stubbornness, as the conditions required to make the picture were extremely hard to come by. It took a total of 8 attempts over a 2 month period to finally pull it off, and it was a huge turning point for me, personally, to “see” a picture before it was ever recorded by the camera. It also set a record for the number of times I’ve been rained on for a single shot. C’est la vie.

The Edition

Print is open edition, currently available in the following sizes:

• Small (image size 8” x 12”)

• Medium (image size 12” x 18”)

• Large (image size 16” x 24”)

All open edition prints are signed by the artist.

The Process

My prints are produced with the highest standards in mind. Rather than using traditional photo papers (such as Kodak Endura and Fujicolor Crystal) I’ve opted for premium papers from Hahnemühle and Canson. These fine art papers are Acid Free, contain no OBAs, and are typically 300gsm and higher. Over 20 papers, across 7 different manufacturers, were tested in order to find a select few to work with. Each image is custom-matched to a specific paper in order to produce prints with amazing detail, color, and depth.

All prints are made in-house using genuine archival pigment inks.

Package Includes:

• Pendry On Fire

• Bonus 4x6 print of a different (open edition) image

• Story sheet printed on translucent vellum paper

• Small and Medium prints are packaged in a black presentation box. Large prints are (loosely) rolled into a wide shipping tube.

• When purchasing a frame with the print (see below), the presentation box / shipping tube is not included. There is a 20% discount on frames when ordered with a print.

Framing and Mounting

Image sizes are the measurements listed above. The total paper size will be 1-inch larger (both width and height) to accommodate a half-inch border on each side. This size difference will only be relevant when framing without a mat, which is not recommended.

Matting/Framing/Mounting is not included in the price of the print; however, you may choose to add professional framing services by selecting the “Mounting And Framing” category at the top of the page. All mounting and framing is done professionally by The Frame Room in Fells Point. There is a 20% discount on frames when ordered with a print.

Whether or not you choose to include a frame at the time of purchase, I highly recommend seeking out a professional framing service. The quality of frames, and especially glass, can vary greatly when purchased retail. Also, care should be taken not to use any mounting materials that may compromise the archival nature of the paper and ink.
