POST # 9
Given the highly favorable response to my two albums of Christos' "Gates" photographs {over 8000 hits in three weeks} and the fact that I am being featured in the E Bits section of The Digital Journalist for the current month of March, 2005 I am offering my photographs for sale. Album 1 is with a background of grass; album 2 is with a background of snow. You might also be interested in viewing an album of photos of the aftermath of the Twin Towers 911 terrorist attack. They are particularly striking in the atmosphere of an eerie golden light.
Those interested in purchasing one or more photos should log onto the cover page of either one or both Christos' Gates albums and press the master card logo that will bring you to pay pal.
Please indicate what prints you want to purchase by the number associated with each photo and of course the quantity. I am offering 8X10 unframed glossy prints on acid free paper for a price of $30.00 per photo which includes all shipping and postage costs. If you would like a 5X7 print the cost will be $15.00 per photo including shipping and postage.
There are no returns unless somehow damaged in transit. The photos will be sent in damage proof envelopes.
I believe the photos speak for themselves. But for those who prefer additional commentary I invite you to read my eight previous posts of my experiences and reflections of this powerfully moving event.
I have been told that I have captured the spirit of this once in a lifetime display which is exactly what I experienced on my two day "spiritual" pilgrimage to Central Park.
I believe that a few words about myself as a photographer are in order.

Although I have been seriously interested in photography for the past fifty years, I have had only one professional position in the field. I worked for two summers as the staff photographer for the Lake Tarleton Resort in Pike, New Hampshire. The experience was truly a baptism under fire. One of my assignments was to take multiple pictures especially of the 300 or so young women on Saturday nights and have the prints displayed for possible purchase by Sunday departure. That often meant staying up all Saturday night developing and printing hundreds of prints. Somehow I survived to tell the tale.
Currently I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, supervisor, and teacher practicing in New York City taking pictures whenever the spirit moves me.
As a serious student of photography I regard it as my 'religion'. To me photography is a continual celebration of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary by participating in a process of making meaningful connections between myself and all that somehow captures my attention.
I find it wondrous that I am able to capture and freeze a convergence of form, content, light, dark, and color into pleasing images that are simultaneously quiet; yet, {at times}, profoundly stirring.
