I'm driving along, wide open spaces as far as the eye can see and I then the colours change and the sun starts to peak through the clouds and I know there's a shot to be had if I can get off this road, hang a left and get up that hill a bit. I put my foot down and hurtle up the dirt road hoping to find a vantage point before the sun sinks behind the fields and, with seconds to spare, I get this shot. As I'm standing there on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, just enjoying the space and the quiet, a pickup truck comes along and he stops and we have a chat. It was an interesting conversation. He was a third generation farmer, probably curious as to what I was doing out there, and I'm a travelling photographer from Melbourne, curious as to what it was like to be a farmer way out there. I hadn't talked to anyone in a while so it was nice.

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.
Andrew.
