[Leica] Shameless plug - Set up a gallery to sell prints

[chris williams]

Sorry if this goes against For Sale Fridays. Being unemployed sucks!


How many times have you seen a photograph I’ve shared and thought you’d like to have a print? Well, good news! I am creating prints in a limited edition. 8x10 prints on Epson Legacy archival paper, printed by yours truly. 10 prints are available from each of the images in the gallery. Prints are $50 and I am donating $5 from each print sold to Bread for the City’s COVID-19 Response Fund in Washington DC. Because we are all in this together.

On March 8th, 2020 I photographed the XFL DC Defenders home game versus St Louis. On March 14th I helped another photographer with a wedding. On March 15th that was it. Events were canceled, conferences were canceled, even small photoshoots, done. So now what? When your job depends on people gathering together, what happens when everyone stays home?

I know many of you out there have had similar anxieties as industries are slowed and businesses are shuttered. How does an unemployed photographer live through this? How am I going to afford health insurance? Will it be the same after this is over? Maybe Spinal Tap needs a new drummer? 

One thing I have always loved as a photographer is the print process. Starting with the ramshackle not quite dark enough darkroom in the back of the house in the 90's to the current print at home in the light sipping tea, reading the Beastie Boys book while the fine art paper runs through the printer, Open Lightroom, Tweak, Click Print, Sip, Repeat.

So, I’m opening up my archives to you and offering these limited edition prints. Take a look. And please share.

Contactless pick up and/or delivery available in DC. Shipping available worldwide.

Stay safe everyone!
