This is me. A close-up shot of my thumb shimmering in the sunlight. It isn’t even perfectly in focus, but it was a mistake I was glad I made. The light seems to bounce off of the individual skin cells and sparkle in the soft out of focus areas. It makes me think about the complexity of the design of our fingerprints, as well as the imprint we each leave on everything we interact with, and the temporary nature of our identity. Our cells are constantly dying and regenerating, over the course of about 7 years our body creates an entire new system of cells. Nothing remains from the person you were 7 years ago, yet you still think of yourself as the same being, with the same name. At the very bottom, the ‘YOU’ you think of, is just an idea.

Printing Process: All prints are now made using a C-Type printing process for the highest possible photographic print quality. C-Type printing offers a more subtle tone than other printing methods, which provides for smoother gradients in shadows and skin tones. C-type prints typically last up to 100 years and are good for archival purposes. The paper used is a matte Fuji paper which can be wiped clean although we do not recommend it.
Shipping: I am pleased to offer free worldwide shipping for all print orders. Prints are typically shipped within 24 hours and arrival is typically between 5-14 days depending on location. Each print is carefully protected in crush proof packaging to ensure your print arrives as beautiful as when it left.
100% Guaranteed Satisfaction: All orders are backed by a 100% worry free, money back guarantee. If a print is lost or damaged in transit or fails to meet your expectations, you will be refunded or a replacement will be sent out the next working day.
