Imagekind Gallery IWASTHERE
Copyright (C) 2008
These are all images of places where I should like to be again.
The image I have chosen to represent this gallery is a photo taken in 1993 of untouched aboriginal green forest in Cathedral Grove, Macmillan Provincial Park, Vancouver Island, Canada. "All things bright and beautiful ..." Cityscape is not the word for this!
This IMAGEKIND fine art site is a place where a fine giclée print of any available image, photography or painting, on paper or canvas, may be ordered at up to poster size, framed and matted in many different combos ready to go, or just by itself. My preferred paper recommendation is Epson UltraSmooth Fine Art. It costs more, but is very thick and super-archival. Somewhere on this site an Imagekind artist is ready and willing to supply all your needs for art, whether for your home, your office or as gifts for your friends and relatives. (Very many images, including almost all of mine, may also be ordered in Greeting Card form. This is a good way of seeing an image printed without spending a lot of money.)
Whoever does your matting and framing, the materials including the backing should be at least of conservation grade, preferably of 100% rag i.e. cotton.
Hang your print well away from moisture, fumes, heat-sources and UV-rich light, e.g. the sun, strong spotlights and fluorescents.The glazing should be anti-UV, to maximize the life of the print. Acrylic plexiglass as offered here on Imagekind which is not explicitly anti-UV screens out 80%. This is more UV protection than plain glass affords. Anti-UV plexi screens out 99%. You should be aware that non-glare glass or plexi increase visibility but reduce contrast.

Clouds over Crater Lake 1979
Wonderful place in Oregon, huge deep caldera lake in crater of dormant volcano. Theoretically the volcano might blow again, like Mt. St. Helen's. So it is not always called extinct.
