Thank you for considering the purchase of one of my fine art photographs. I want you to feel confident you are making the correct decision in choosing my photography, and I also want to make the ordering process as quick, easy, secure, and worry free as possible for you.

Ordering is simple and there are 3 ways to place your order.

When leaving a voicemail be sure to tell me your name, a call-back phone number, state/country you are calling from, and which photo(s) you are interested in. I accept all major credit cards with phone orders, and paying via Paypal is also possible. You may also email me with your request and I can reply via email and/or phone.
- You can purchase direct from me at one of my exhibitions. All major credit cards are accepted. For a list of art festivals and other exhibitions I will be present at click here.
- You can place your order online here at my safe & secure website. Orders can be placed using virtually any computer, iPad, tablet, or smartphone and all major credit cards are accepted. All online orders are reviewed by me prior to my professional lab printing and shipping your order. That allows me time to make sure there are no omissions or questions regarding your order prior to printing. Allow 1 to 3 weeks for delivery of most orders, and orders can be safely shipped worldwide.
- No matter how you order, I now offer FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on every photo order (free shipping only available on aluminum, canvas, and photo prints. Products such as iPad covers, tshirts, etc. do not qualify for free shipping). (Note regarding shipments outside the United States: I will pay all costs associated with shipping the item there, and receiver is responsible for any import taxes, duties, fees, etc.)

Why Order:
Quality
I use only the finest materials and professional labs to produce my photographs. The photo labs I use operate under my exact specifications, guaranteeing you museum grade quality and an image printed exactly the way I intended it to be.
I spend a lot of time photographing in the field, and a lot more time processing my photos into my own vision in my digital darkroom. Photographs will arrive to you safely with crisp detail & depth and excellent color saturation. These archival photos have an expected normal display life of over 80-100+ years (but don't worry about that - see my No-Fade Guarantee 3 paragraphs below).
Should there be any sort of problem with your order when it arrives, simply let me know via phone 480.818.9566 or email and I will take care of the problem for you right away. Orders are shipped trackable and insured.

30-Day Money Back Guarantee & Lifetime No-Fade Guarantee
I know you will be thoroughly impressed and satisfied with your order. If for some reason you are not, rest assured that I offer a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. If, within 30 days of receiving your order you are not completely satisfied, I will replace or refund your purchase (less s+h charges) upon safe return of artwork to me.
Do not worry about your photo possibly fading either. While it is always recommended to display any fine art piece away from direct sunlight during the majority of the day, in the rare event your photo starts to fade you can take advantage of my Lifetime No-Fade Guarantee. Should you start noticing any fading, contact me and I will replace the photograph at cost.

Options
While I certainly have my favorite presentation options - such as my new HD Aluminum Masterpiece editions and Metallic Photo Prints - I know that other collectors prefer the softer, more painterly look of a giclee canvas. So I now offer all three options.
1) Photo Prints - smallest size available is 12" x 18". Available in your choice of lustre, glossy, or metallic (my favorite - incredible color, detail, high definition glossy look).
2) Giclee Canvas - smallest size available is 12" x 18". Canvas is first sprayed with a glossy UV coating, then stretched on 1 1/2" thick wood stretcher bars.
3) HD Aluminum Masterpiece - smallest size available is 16" x 24". Photo is printed onto a specially coated piece of aluminum with a hard, durable, scratch resistant glossy coating. These photos are breathtaking, look crystal clear, and appear to look like they are back-lit. A true High Definition experience and the ultimate presentation for my photography.
Pricing
Pricing for all of my photographs can be found by clicking on the green "Buy" button above each photo when viewing the large image (not thumbnails) in my galleries. There are prices and photos available for every budget.
Prices start at just $50 for an open edition 8"x10" photographic print to tens of thousands of dollars for my Suess Originals Collection that feature images sold in editions of just one and which are true collector pieces. And there are multiple prices and options in-between for just about every collector.
With the exception of certain special promotional offers I run from time to time (sign up for my newsletter for occasional exclusive promotions), the prices of my photographs are the same online as they are at my exhibitions as well as galleries & museums that feature my work.
I also have a Price Guarantee: that the price of my fine art photography increases (almost yearly) - in particular those photos in my Portfolio and Suess Originals galleries.
What does that mean? If you are waiting to purchase, there is the risk of it costing more in the future. However the sooner you invest in one of my photographs, the sooner and longer the investment will pay off, as the value only increases over time.
Plus if you purchase now just think of all of the extra time you will have enjoying your favorite photo on your wall. I can also easily delay shipping until you return from vacation, or until the new home gets built, etc.
Feel fee to contact me with any other questions on purchasing and investing in my fine art photography.
Limited Editions, Signing and Numbering
Here is my current policy regarding the signing and numbering of my photographs. This policy started in 2012 and applies to most photos released in 2012 to the present (note: prior to 2012 most photos were released in limited editions of no larger than 100).
All photographic prints, canvas, and aluminum photos are signed from a digital scan that was done of my exact signature using a marker and paper.
In regards to photographic prints, they are in open editions and are signed and numbered (starting at 1) with print sizes 16" x 24" and higher. Smaller sizes are not numbered.
My giclee canvas photos are their own separate, open edition. They are signed and numbered (starting at 1).
My HD Aluminum Masterpiece photos are their own separate, open edition as well. They are all signed and numbered (starting at 1).
My Suess Originals are one-of-a-kind prints in limited editions of just one. Yes, just one print is available, ready to hang, printed on canvas or aluminum. See each particular photo for size and type available.
Note that I no longer offer limited editions in numbers up to say 100, or 50, etc. like I used to. My limited editions are now only available in editions of just one. I figured if one is going to make something a limited edition, then why not make it a true limited edition and have available just one photograph. The majority of my other photos are available in signed and numbered open editions.
