Canvas Prints… Coming Soon!

At PhotoPlus Expo last week I was introduced to Roxanne Benton of Pixel2Canvas by one of my favorite people in the world, Bobby Davis. Bob uses Roxanne’s prints for his weddings, and that frankly is enough of an endorsement for me! Then on Tuesday at “Real Time Community” with Dane Sanders, Scott Bourne was talking about his print sales, and it frankly seems like a silly idea not to start selling some of my best images this way, too.

Next week I’m going to visit Roxanne’s studio and make some selections on just what print types and sizes I want to offer, but suffice it to say these will be stunning prints, and sold large. As much as I love computers, there’s nothing better than seeing a photo in print, and printed BIG. It’s what all those pixels were created for.

This also means I need to start selecting some images to print and offer. Here’s a couple of the first ones I’ll make available… and I’m having the Indian beggar boy test printed to see in person next week.

If you’re interested in purchasing prints, please contact me directly.

A weekend in Budapest, Sunday

Sunday we visited Saint Stephen's Basilica, wandered down to the water (where we ran into a marathon, or rather you could say it ran into us!), and then turned back to spend the day in Pest, which except for some shopping and lunch, we'd neglected the day before.

A weekend in Budapest, Saturday

After a divine breakfast at the hotel, we spent Saturday morning wandering around the local shops. We stumbled upon a hidden plaza; a veritable treasure trove of collectibles, pottery, historically traditional clothing and naturally, a gorgeous wine shop. We purchased a bottle to sneak into the spa at the hotel, later.

A weekend in Budapest, Friday

It's been too long now since my trip to Budapest so I'm not going to detail the restaurant reviews like I normally would. I didn't take copious notes and frankly it's not the most interesting part of that weekend. It's more important now to get the stories and photos up!

In the middle of my world tour, I had a weekend off that I chose to spend in Budapest. My girlfriend met me there, and of course we had a fabulous time. We both arrived Friday; myself by plane from Berlin in the morning, and her by train later in the afternoon.

We stayed at Le Meridien Hotel on Erzsébet tér, a gorgeous hotel in a fantastic location. Right on a metro stop, we were walking or subway-ing distance to everything.
