A Tale of a Bistro Set


Once upon a time, a shopper went to Rite-Aid and purchased a box set of an iron table and two chairs. She took them home and put them together and used them merrily out on her patio for nine blissful years...

Then one day she decided everything must go. She hired an estate sales company who placed this set in the entry of the home where it was seen by all who passed. A strange man with double glasses (one set clear and one set dark) came through the doors and wanted to purchase the set. He did not want to pay the $40 asking price, but struck a bargain for $25 cash. He carried them away as quickly as he arrived.

It was just an hour later that the shopper went for a ride and here at the neighborhood antique store, out front, by the entrance as it was at the sale she was having that very day, were the table and chairs, with a sign for sale. She returned home to share a laugh with the estate sales company and friends.

Life has a way of putting us through different sets of emotions, but as we experience them, we need to keep our perspective and always remember this -

Yes, the sign on this lovely set is $60 as pictured in the photo taken later that day by the estate sales company.

About His Art:
Hand Tinted: Hand tinting a photographic print is done by using a color transparent oil directly on the surface of the black and white print. The result is a blend of subtle coloration that mixes with the image, creating a unique and original work of art.

CYANOTYPE PRINTS: created through a hand made printing process that was used by photographers in the latter part of the nineteenth century. It is unmistakable because of its wonderful cool blue hues. This is achieved by hand coating a fine art paper with ferric ammonium citrate (iron base metal), and potassium ferro cyanide in a solution. The paper is then exposed in sunlight and dried, after which it is washed in water. The typically wonderful blue print is the result.

PLATINUM PRINTS: The platinum print is one of the richest, and most expensive form of photographic print making. A platinum print is created by hand coating a sheet of fine artist's paper with the emulsion of photosensitive platinum metals. The platinum emulsion is absorbed, therefore becomes part of the paper itself. Each image radiates a three dimensional warmth. Platinum prints are unique and are the preferred medium of master printmakers.
