A Poets Walk / Photo ID: 54
Poet’s Walk, Central Park in 1994. Shot with a large-format view camera during a freezing rain. This remains the most popular print on the site.
Frankly, I almost didn’t take this photograph because it was so cold and the film holders were getting wet. Just as I was about to pack up, the couple entered the scene, and I just waited until they were in the distance to try to give the looming trees some scale. A few years ago, the glistening stones were dug up and replaced by dirt. You think that everything will still be there – but as an ancient philosopher said, you can’t step in the same river twice. Some pictures (especially of people) will work at any size. But some, like this image really need to be seen large to get the full effect.

I can ship without signature required if you let me know.Normal domestic delivery time is 2 weeks from the time you order. Actual shipping time is usually 2-3 days. The two weeks is for me to print and package since each print is made to order.

Are you in any galleries? No, and that is by design. When these prints were in New York galleries (when I began the business) they would sell for many times the cost of what I offer on the this site. The largest show I ever did in had 20 prints. I decided to offer a larger selection at a more reasonable price through the web. I realize that many people would like to see the actual prints before buying them. To do that in New York would mean doing gallery shows, and that would drive up the cost of the prints that I sell through this site substantially. So what I do is offer a very simple hassle-free return policy. I may have had two returns (which were actually exchanges) in the last ten years, so I'm comfortable with making that offer.
