Subject: [Leica] Friday FS - nicely framed wildlife photographs.

All:

For a little over a year, now, I have offered my limited edition, 
wildlife prints for just $59.

Judging by the number of folks who now have them on their walls, I'd 
say with some considerable success!

These are true photographs (not inkjet prints) and are either 8x10" 
or 8x12" in size. Each one is individually signed, numbered & matted 
in an basic, black 11x14" frame, by yours truly.

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, but 
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, a supply of 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!)

However, my supply of frames is finite, as my supplier has gone out 
of business, and I have been unable to find another source.  If 
(when) I am forced to switch to metal frames, my price will have to 
increase ... somewhere between $20 and $30, just to cover the framing costs!

This problem is being exacerbated by the fact that my photos have 
been recently been accepted for sale by the Kamloops Wildlife 
Park.  So, if you've been thinking of getting one, might I suggest 
that now is the time?

There are 28 different photos available and you can see them all, 
at:  www.telyt.com

Visa & Mastercard accepted though PayPal, of course.

Thanks for reading.
