Notes: For ease of do-it-yourself framing, all 8x10 and 11x14 unframed prints are nominally sized (with standard 1/4" margin insets to fit standard framing supplies). All other prints are sold with actual (true) sizing. Frames are 3/4" (19mm) width and are made of wood, except for the chrome-finish frame, which is aluminum. Mats are black core (with a black bevel), providing a 1/16" (1.5mm) width of black line around the photograph. A 1/4" (6mm) margin lies between the mat and the image. The title and India ink signature are placed within this 1/4" margin at the bottom. Backing is foam-core. All materials, including inks, papers, matting, backing, and adhesives, are acid-free. Prints are lacquer top-coated for preservation. Glazing is UV-blocking acrylic.

Artist's description:

This adorable child was catching a nap early in the morning in the Atlanta airport, and we were all smiling at his little bottom in the air. With his mother's permission, I captured the moment. I couldn't set up either flash lighting or a tripod without waking the subject, so I took a long series of natural light shots at roughly 1/4 sec, hoping that one or two would come out. (I have a steady hand, and I was also lucky.) With a sharp image in my camera and computer, I then set to work with editing. I mended a few huge rips in the seat, removed the top part of the boy's diaper, which was poking outside his pants (a difficult judgment call), and removed all traces of the Charles Manson gang, which was seated all around us. What was left was pure innocence, snug, secure, and perfectly composed. This is one of the better images captured with my old Olympus digital. (Click here to learn more and to see "before" and "after" shots.)

Artist's technical assessment of the image quality:

    Sharpness: fairly good
    Camera shake: nothing visible
    Digital noise: low
    Compression artifact: minor
    Chromatic aberration: minor
    Distortion: unknown
    Maximum acceptable enlargement: 16x20, without conspicuous appearance of compression artifact or pixelation. Up to 20 x 25 with slight appearance of compression artifact but no noticeable pixelation.

Image detail:

    *These are swatches from the image when magnified to the indicated size, as viewed on the average 17" monitor at 1024x768 pixels. They show you the actual sharpness of the print that will hang on your wall. If you have a smaller monitor or have your monitor configured with more pixels, you should "imagine" these swatches a bit larger. Please note that compression artifact (including checkering and banding around higher contrast edges) may be evident as you view these images online. This is a compromise in jpeg images that makes them quicker to load on a web page. The printed image will not have these defects, unless noted under "Artist's technical assment of the image quality. (See "Compression artifact")."
