Prints Galore

This evening I ordered some prints of a few photos I’ve taken this summer and, after some internal deliberating, decided I’d offer them up in case any helloaaron.com readers want one for themselves. This is kind of a big step for me and makes me nervous. It’s not that I’m worried no one will want a print. That doesn’t matter. What makes me nervous is that by offering them up, I’m coming dangerously close to posing as an “artist” or some other creative type. Those titles and labels scare me and I don’t feel adequate for them.

But at the same time there are things in these photographs that I like, and maybe you do too. If something is pleasing to the eye or spirit, training and experience is irrelevant. A child’s photograph taken with a toy camera can be as striking as one shot by a grizzled photographer with years of experience and thousands of dollars in equipment. I guess that’s the great thing about art.

So without further ado, if you would like an 8x10 print of any of these photographs, please let me know. I’m not going to setup a PayPal account at this point (mainly because it’s my bed time), so we’ll just do it the old-fashioned way. Send an e-mail to aaron@helloaaron.com and tell me what you would like, and then we’ll go from there. The cost is about $4 per 8x10, plus a few cents in taxes and a couple bucks in shipping. Other sizes are available, and if there are other photos on this site you would like prints of, I can probably arrange that, too.

Oh, and also keep in mind that these preview images are lower quality than a print will be. Click on any of these images for a larger (but still lower quality) preview.
