Red Brick – Window Blind

$50$300

The window makes this picture, for me.  I also have a softness for old brick. It’s the traces of light across the textured surface. The black frame of the window set against the red of the brick. Looking up and taking the picture, the window is as accessible as the wall, flat, opaque, behind it is hidden from view.

Description

A metallic looking sheen across the entire window shade adds an other worldly quality too.

Archival-Quality Prints: A Century of Timeless Beauty

These are more than just images—they’re lifelong companions. Printed to meet museum-grade archival standards, each piece is crafted using the finest materials to last over 100 years with proper care.

Why It Matters:

  • Exceptional Longevity
    Your print is made to endure, preserving its rich tones and detail for generations when stored and displayed correctly.

  • Care Tips to Protect Your Print:

    • Unframed Prints: Store flat in an archival-quality box or portfolio.

    • Framed Prints: Use UV-filtering acrylic glazing, archival matting, and acid-free adhesives.

    • Display Location: Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity to maintain color vibrancy and surface quality.
