From the first-time collector to the seasoned, discerning collector, we offer choices to meet your expectations. For the first-time collector, or the casual collector, we offer Graphite Fine Art Prints. Each is printed using museum quality ink and paper.
For the more serious collector, we offer Grauvre, “etchings on paper,” for the ultimate visual and emotional experience. As much as the images here on this site offer an approximation of that experience, until you hold one in your hands, it is difficult to express the depth of detail and the quality of the rendering. Rendered at up to 1200 DPI – four times that is industry standard for fine art prints – each Gravure is a work of art.

Ask anyone where Mortimer, NC is, and they will likely tell you that they haven't a clue. For a very brief period of time, Mortimer was home to a mill driven by water power. Now, it is no more than a collection of abandoned concrete walls. This brook is behind the walls of an otherwise ruined building. There is a deep sense of loss, of mystery, of abandonment. Why would someone spend so much time and money and walk away? Mortimer is a place of unanswered questions. Select a print category: Graphite, Onyx, or Obsidian. Not sure which one to purchase?

“The Wrecked and the Dead” (NF200245-A-SFx)
Location: Somewhere near Durham, NC. I’ve seen abandoned cars before. I’ve seen wrecked cars many times. I’ve never seen such carnage, so many wrecked, destroyed, neglected, deserted, cars. I was profoundly sad, and the longer I wandered around the wreckage, the more deeply saddened I became. There seemed to be no logic to the destruction. I could feel the memories. I could almost feel people sitting in some of the cars, and the pride they would have felt when these cars were new. The carnage of steel and chrome left me without words. Adding to sense of loss was the house that faced the road. From a relatively new farm tractor to a recent vintage tow truck, the area around the house was covered with day-to-day signs of life, except no one lived there any longer. It was - literally - as though one day everyone who lived there - including the children - simply left and took nothing with them. Select a print category: Graphite, Onyx, or Obsidian.

“LTD” (NF197826-16-A-SFx)
Location: Somewhere near Hanging Rock, NC.
I found this old Ford LTD, ca 1965, by a roadside tobacco barn somewhere near the North Carolina/Virginia border. Caught out of the corner of my eyes as I drove past, I had to quickly turn around and go back to the barn. In its day, this car was expensive, a sign of success and achievement. Now, it slowly dies, and one day, only rust and glass will remain. I shall never understand how something beautiful - a car, a building, any object once treasured, could be left neglected, to perish in neglect. My heart raced as I approached the car. Such stops are dangerous. No trespassing signs are to be taken seriously in these places. Just being on these properties can be met with gunshot or hostile dogs. I often leave the car door open and the engine running - just in case. As much as I wanted to photography the car from the other side, something just didn’t feel right, so, I trusted my instincts and moved on. A vintage Pentax 6x7 lens was used..

“The Otherside” (NF199318-SF) Location: Gold Hill, NC.
It was as though we - Lew Brown and I were out on one of our photography trips - stepped out of our cars into a world of dark, ghostly shapes that only emerged momentarily from the shadows of the mist. Despite the pretense of a fall morning, the air was heavy, wet, and the mist seemed to drape over the barn and touch the ground. On the edge of complete neglect, the barn seemed covered in sadness and grief in the face of forgottenness. Now, more than an hour into our shoot, my feet were as wet as the grass. I followed the mist that seemed to swirl around the barn to the other side. A vintage Pentax 6x7 lens was used. Not sure which one to purchase? Click here. -
“The Myst and The Tree” (NF199322-SF) Location: Gold Hill, NC.
It was as though we - Lew Brown and I - were out on one of our photography trips - stepped out of our cars into a world of dark, ghostly shapes that only emerged momentarily from the shadows of the myst. Despite the pretense of a fall morning, the air was heavy, wet, and the myst seemed to drape over the buildings around us and touch the ground. Everywhere there were trees, stripped of leaves, barren and forgotten, whose limbs stretched like long thin fingers into the myst. A vintage Pentax 6x7 lens was used. Not sure which one to purchase?
