Talk amongst Yourselves
Talk amongst Yourselves, King Penguins, Gold Harbour, South Georgia Island
While the Gold Harbour colony is not the largest King Penguin colony on South Georgia, it was my first encounter with these beautiful, social birds. About three feet tall, they are curious and completely unafraid of humans (and often oblivious to them). Due to their asymmetrical mating cycle, all penguin behaviors (courting, mating, chick raising and molting) are on display all the time unlike the phased annual cycles of other Antarctic penguins. You just don’t know where to look sometimes.

Workmanship and Quality
My matted works are printed on Moab Juniper Baryta 305 paper using Canon Lucia pigment Inks. The matting and backs are conservation quality and are assembled by me (or my wife) with acid-free tapes. This combination has an expected 30-plus year life span without fading or degradation. Framed works, of course, include the same matting. All matted photographs fit in standard sized frames available in many art supply stores and from online retailers.
My frames are exhibition-style Nielsen-Bainbridge anodized aluminum radials, slightly rounded, for a classic look. The glazing is anti-UV acrylic which is lighter and more durable than glass and helps further preserve the image. The hanging hardware is pre-installed. If you compare the price of comparable framing from your local framing store, you will find my pricing to be extremely competitive.
