St Basil's, Moscow

St Basil's Cathedral. Shot this while I was on the 'Covered in Scaffold' trip. Everywhere I went - Russia, Europe, Asia - every iconic landmark, which is to say, every major photo opportunity, was either under repair and covered in scaffold, being renovated and wrapped up in protective coverings, or completely blocked off from the general public for some unknown reason. After a while I think they just heard I was coming and covered everything in scaffold to piss me off. The Spanish steps in Rome? Rialto Bridge in Venice? The Louvre in Paris? All off limits, and a dozen more. Add to that, Red Square, right here next to St Basil's, was still covered in seating (made from scaffold) because they'd just had some kind of parade so I couldn't get a decent shot. St Basil's, though, was one of the few not covered in anything.

Note: Both paper and canvas prints come rolled in acid free tissue paper inside a heavy-duty mailing tube (signature is required upon delivery).

The standard sized paper prints - A2, A1 and AO - are designed to fit off-the-shelf frame sizes but for custom framing (like the panorama prints which aren't standard sizes), I'd recommend taking them to a professional framer.

The canvas prints are much harder to do yourself so should also be taken to a framer. All the canvas prints have a mirror wrap edge (sometimes called gallery wrap) which means the image appears to continue around the side of the frame but it's actually a copy of the image, as if the image were held against a mirror. This way none of the image is 'lost' around the side, it just looks that way.

If you have any questions about the prints, the images or anything else, I'm always available through the contacts page.
