Subject: [Leica] Friday FS - Framed Wildlife Photos

All:

Where else can you buy a limited edition, tastefully matted and 
framed, wildlife print that is signed & numbered by the photographer, 
for just $59?

Perhaps a second hand, shop, if you're lucky enough to find one!

If you consider the cost of getting anything framed, these days, your 
first question has to be "how does he do it?"

Well, it's simple, I found a source of very attractive, yet 
inexpensive, frames which look very much like the basic black metal 
frames that most of us are so fond of for our own shots.   I then 
went out and bought a mat cutter and mat board and learned how to do 
the whole thing myself!    (I'd checked with a dozen or more framers 
and none of them would do the framing for as little as I sell my 
framed prints! And that's in lots of a dozen at a time!)

Unfortunately, my supply of these frames is starting to run low, and 
I am having difficulty replacing them, for my supplier has gone out 
of business. When they are gone, I will have to move to metal 
frames.  They are a bit nicer, it's true... but this will result in 
my prices increasing by nearly $30, just to cover the cost of the 
frames!  And now that the BC Wildlife Park is selling my prints, the 
existing supply should dwindle even faster!

BTW: I now have a small stock of metal frames, for 
evaluation.  Should you wish a print, double matted in a metal frame, 
email me off-list with the image number (found in the upper right 
corner of each web page) and we'll work something out.

There are 29 different photos available and you can see them all, at:

www.telyt.com

Visa & Mastercard accepted though PayPal.

BTW: If you have the need, publication rights to most of these photos
can now be purchased at: http://tinyurl.com/2amll4 - but the genuine
article cost considerably less!

Thanks for reading.
