VIP REWARDS & Custom-Made Photogram REWARDS (starting at $1,000) - VERY SPECIAL REWARDS, FOR VERY SPECIAL CONTRIBUTORS

• $1000 REWARD - CUSTOM-MADE PHOTOGRAM - BE PART OF THE PROCESS AND RECEIVE AN 11x14 PHOTOGRAM, THAT I'LL MAKE JUST FOR YOU! 

This reward is extra special, as it's one that we'll make together, in some capacity. I will either give you choices of materials and light sources (as well as get a sense of your photogram leanings in style and process) OR you can choose to ship materials to me (within reason), and I'll make you a photogram or photogram/chemigram with them. I'll actually make a few and let you choose your favorite (and am happy to work out a bigger discount if you want more than one).

Framing options are available upon request, but are not included as part of the reward

Contributors at this level will of course get a special shout out in what will essentially be the gratitude section of this campaign, once the prints start to sell.

For those who live in the western United States (or really anywhere with interesting natural materials that you would like to ship to me), I am happy to make my very first 16x20 location-specific photogram, specificially for YOU (or your loved one, if you plan on giving it as a gift).

• VIP – BRONZE LEVEL REWARD - $16x20 PHOTOGRAM TRIPTYCH ($3600)

I am offering benevolent BRONZE level supporters a one-of-a-kind Fire & Ice triptych of their choosing at the reduced price of $3600.

I have some gorgeous newish 16x20 photograms that work really well together (and would look amazing floating for those interested in framing options, which are available, but not included as part of the reward); These prints haven't been properly digitized yet, as I outsource for that (and is super expensive to do so for 16x20s, as my guy has minimums), so I apologize for the cell shots of the newer print of the series and am happy to provide close-ups of the prints and offer both Zoom and in-person print viewings upon request.

Here are some teasers, I have a quite a few more options and am also offering a selection of the earlier prints of the series, which have already been digitized properly. [Many of these abstract landcape photographs work really together, not only as diptychs and triptycs, but also as mosaics].  

Please visit the Fire & Ice GO FUND ME gallery to see additonal offerings. [Given your generosity, I am also happy to let you choose your favorites from the primary Fire & Ice gallery, even if they aren't offered specifically as rewards]:

Mosaics and larger groupings are also available at reduced prices, upon request and I am happy to let you mix and match or to curate a selection for you, based around your artistic leanings. ["Fingertips" has already sold.]

• VIP - SILVER LEVEL REWARD - 

 A CURATED SELECTION OF 4 AWARD-WINNING 11X14 PHOTOGRAMS (FROM EITHER INTO THE ETHER OR METAMORPHOSIS - OR A LITTLE OF EACH)

Generous SILVER level contributors will get a little box set of FOUR to SIX 11x14 (or 11.8x15.7”) photograms from two of my most heavily awarded bodies of work, for the reduced price of $4,000 total for 4 prints or $5,000 for 6 prints. (Plus, shipping unless you happen to be local and would rather pick up your prints in person). These prints work really well as mosaics... And framing options are available, but not included in this reward.

 Into the Ether (3rd place Julia Margaret Cameron Awards, Honorary Spider Fellow, Black-and-White Spider Awards) photograms were printed on UK sized Forte polywarmtone plus (the good stuff - that Adox is thankfully trying to bring back), from July-November 2020 (the series came together quite fast).

• ·      Please note that the handful of award-winning images that were exhibited in the 6th and 7th Biennials of Fine Art & Documentary Photography are still in Barcelona, being stored for me, but if you're willing to pay the shipping (they actually get really good rates, so isn't terrible), I'm happy to work out Go Fund Me pricing for those framed prints as well.

Metamorphosis (Honorable Mention, 18th JMCAs, Runner Up to the series winner, 17th JMCAs, Honorable Mention 16th Pollux Awards) photograms were printed on Fomatone MG 131 & 132 (glossy and semi-matte surfaces); this large series is still somewhat ongoing and was basically the body of work where I found my experimental footing (this series marks the beginning of my messier, more "out there" processes - and is the work the informed the following 3 bodies of work, and in turn, eventually led to my inspiration for the book. 

[I began this series just shortly before teaching my first online photograms class and a lot of the demo prints and class prep test photograms I was making in early spring 2021, made it into the series, and marked the beginning of my own metamorphosis, as well as that of my process(es). This series took quite the turn for the experimental in late 2021 and by February 2022, included my very first photograms made with snow.]

You can mix and match/curate the selection yourself or let me put it together for you, but please check with me regarding their availability, if you do the former,  as some of the images from both bodies of work have already sold.

•  Please note that the earliest prints of this series are also framed and being stored for me at FotoNostrum, in Barcelona,; However, as noted above, the shipping rates really aren’t too bad, so if you would prefer one or more of these photograms and are willing to cover the shipping, I’m happy to work out Go Fund Me pricing for you and make the arrangments to have it shipped to you  [Fun fact, these particular prints, among a couple others, debuted (online) via The OD Review, about a week after they were printed.]
