Neon and Daylight, Empty Booth
Mid-morning quiet, before the first order of the day.
Thank you — your print is on its way to being made.
Two emails are on their way: a receipt from Stripe, and a confirmation from me with what you bought and where it is going.
Printed to order and posted flat or rolled by size.
An empty corner of a small diner: olive-green and orange chairs pulled up to laminate tables, napkin dispensers still squared away, woven roller shades filtering flat daylight. Backwards neon script glows against tied-back lace curtains, and a glass door reads PUSH from the inside. The palette of citrus, moss and brown tile holds the room in an unhurried pause between services.

Every size is printed on the same stock: a heavyweight matte art paper at 200gsm, roughly two and a half times the weight of office paper, so it has body in the hand and lies flat under glass. Matte rather than gloss or lustre — it holds detail down in the shadows, and it will not bounce a window back at you from across the room. No texture competing with the photograph.
About the prints
Printed one at a time
Nothing here is printed in advance. When you order, that specific frame goes to a print lab, gets made, checked and packed, and is posted to you. It means a few days more than a warehouse would take, and it means no print exists until somebody wants it.
Enhanced matte art paper, 200gsm
Every size is printed on the same stock: a heavyweight matte art paper at 200gsm, roughly two and a half times the weight of office paper, so it has body in the hand and lies flat under glass. Matte rather than gloss or lustre — it holds detail down in the shadows, and it will not bounce a window back at you from across the room. No texture competing with the photograph.
Sized to the negative, not cropped to a frame
Every size offered for a given photograph keeps that photograph's own proportions. Nothing is cropped to fill a standard frame, and no image is offered at a size its file cannot carry — which is why the size list is different from one picture to the next. A soft print is worse than a small one.
Unmounted, unframed, with a border
Prints ship unframed with a white border for handling and framing, so you can mount them behind glass or float them without trimming into the image. Standard frame sizes fit the listed dimensions.
If it arrives wrong, it gets replaced
Damaged in transit, or not what the page described: tell me and a replacement goes out. These are made to order, so a change of mind is harder — but a print that arrives bent is not your problem to absorb.
