What kind of prints are you selling?
The images are photographed on 35mm slide or negative film, converted via a film scanner into high resolution digital images. The prints are produced from these computer files which I transmit to a printing service. The images are printed on either a Fujix Pictrography 3000 or 4000 printer, which offer brilliant photographic color quality. Both printers are 400 dpi continuous tone devices. Fuji photo prints offer true photo-quality output, just like a conventional photograph. Images are printed on glossy photographic paper capable of being displayed in the same way as conventional photographs. The printers utilize an innovative process in which photosensitive donor paper is exposed by laser diodes — a process which yields a print far superior to a dye sub print.

How are the prints shipped?
After I receive your order from the printer and make sure the quality is up to par, I send it to you via the U.S. Postal Service's Priority Mail. It is packaged in cardboard so that it will stay flat and not get bent in shipping. I will email you once it has shipped with a USPS Confirmation Number so that you can check it's shipping status online.

How secure are PayPal transactions?
At PayPal, the security of your information, transactions, and money is the core of their business and their top priority. PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or login to their site, their server checks that you're using an approved browser — one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher. Once your information reaches them, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Their servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers. For more information go to the PayPal.com website.

How did you get started?
I've been taking pictures since I was in junior high (earlier if you count point-and-shoot cameras). It was a hobby and I took classes and workshops, read a lot of books and magazines, and shot a lot of film. For a couple of years after getting a Psychology degree at U.C. Berkeley, I worked in a small portrait studio in San Francisco as an assistant and thought about what I wanted to be when I grew up. I then went back to college, got a teaching credential and taught elementary school for a couple of years. But I missed photography. After taking a close look at my small hometown newspaper (The Visalia Times-Delta) and thinking that I could take pictures like that, I quit teaching, moved back to Visalia, and started taking some journalism and photojournalism classes at a community college. The teacher of my photojournalism class got me an internship at the Hanford Sentinel where he worked (after a lot of pestering on my part), and that lead to a job at the Times-Delta. From there, I had a short stint at the Sacramento Bee Neighbors and I've been freelancing for a variety of publications for the last five years or so.
