After 300

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 2, 20131,473 views27 comments

I have posted this photograph before here on NPN. This time I post it to commemorate reaching the 300th print.

Two weeks ago I sold a Museum Series sized piece that was 20x30 inches in size and matted and framed to 28x38. Since I do not limit my photos I print them as the demand calls for them. My last sale of this photo allowed me to print it for the 300th time, and print 300 has the good fortune of being 20x30 inches as well.

It is my most popular photo and I just thought I would share my enthusiasm. Print 300 of After The Rain will be on display weekly at my local Sunday Market until it eventually sells as well.

I am also holding a 25% off all photographs sale during the entire month of March on my website, the link is below.

Enjoy.

No small wonder that this is a great seller for you. Congrats on 300. How the colors follow the curvature of the draw really adds to the flow.

What a beautiful color palette you found, and then masterfully portrayed in your final image. I visited your website, and wanted to convey my interest in your essay on Extending Scanner Dynamic Range. Something I fought with when still shooting film was trying to scan two different film exposures, then getting them to register in PS. What a nightmare. It never occurred to me to simply rescan the same film at different scanning exposures, without moving the film. Duhhh! Wish I had read your article way back when! Nonetheless, beautiful image, and I hope you sell 300 more.

It just occurred to me that, in essence, you've sold a print for each response I've posted here!

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! I have yet to sell 300 prints total! It's a beautiful shot. I'm guessing around Gorman, CA? I've been meaning to come down one Sunday and pay you a visit at your booth.

Absolutely stunning image, Youssef. The line, color, and the amazing movement is incredible. I can see why this image is so popular and now 300 folks have this work of art gracing their homes. Congratulations on this milestone. Must be amazing to see in a 20x30 print.

I love this shot. You should print one at max size, then destroy the master file or negative...then sell it for the same money as the previous 300 combined.

If this was from 2003, I know exactly where you made this. I hope you did not tear your pants on the barbed wire. I was there, but had no clue how to use my 4x5 at the time and came away with not very much.

This is excellent.

Youssef,

Beautiful! Congrats on your big sales, that's awesome!

This must be Gorman. 2003? That was a banner year if I'm remembering right.

Thanks all for the well wishes. I do hope it keeps selling as well as it has. Stan your idea raised my eyebrows a bit...Hmmm?

Yes Chris it was Gorman. I have been back there every year since and still nothing like what was there 10 years ago.

Harley, I never crossed the barbed wire. I was tempted but stayed out and worked from the road and from the west side of Hwy 5 on the dirt road to the Hungry Valley offroad park.
