The First Fifteen Fifteen

In November, fifteen of my prints sold through a small gallery on the Oregon Coast in three weeks. Same paper, same press, same hands that have made every print I've signed for fifteen years. Seventy-five dollars each, sixteen by twenty-four, signed. A lot of pictures I'd waited a long time to make.

Vol 1.1 is the first six of those fifteen. Each is offered as a $75 archival print, sixteen by twenty-four, signed and numbered by hand. One paper. One price. One signature. No upsell, no tiered pricing, no canvas-vs-paper-vs-metal labyrinth.

The complete Issue is also available as The Folio Edition — twenty-five hand-numbered presentation cases per Volume, each containing all six prints in a matte-black archival box, hand-signed on the lid. The first Folio (#1) is reserved. When the rest sell through, that one comes out for a special release.

What's different from a print shop is the room around the prints. Each photograph here has its own page, its own essay, its own story behind the frame. Some of these took ten years to make. Some happened in fifteen minutes. None of them happened twice.

Vol 1.2 drops next Monday. From there forward, a new Issue every week — one curatorial spine, the same paper and signature, one plate per day Monday through Saturday, the Folio on Sunday.

If you've ever stood at the edge of the Pacific and wanted to take some of it home — these are the prints I made for you.
