I will attempt to explain the cropping process from original media image capture to photographic print paper:

**Print sizes from 35mm slide or negative originals:
Image size of 35mm film is 24x36mm in the camera, a ratio of 2 to 3, which I usually preserve
in the printing process. If un-cropped, they do not fill the old standard photo paper sizes (8x10, 11x14 & 16x20)
to all 4 edges without creating a wider border at the top and bottom of the paper.

**Print sizes from med format film originals - Photographs in this format are square and mostly photographed
from 1991 to 1995 of the full stage & lighting design. Except for a few b&w hasselblad images from Dillon '74
Medium format film is 2.25" square in the camera and then cropped to fully fit standard photo paper sizes or may be presented full frame as a square

Custom size prints are also available - write or call for a quote
Some amount of cropping compared to what appears on this web site may occur in printing at the artistic discretion of the photographer

About Payment

All prints are hand made to order. Payment is made in advance by check, money order or credit card

Important note for credit card customers
I am in the process of mirroring the Grateful Dead galleries over to PhotoShelter to ease the process of online ordering and also allow for more print pricing options on a wide variety of my assignment photography. If you wish to order a GD pring right now by credit card, and it's not yet on PhotoShelter, I will post that photo or gallery there right away so you can place your order. Just email me that your interested in a purchase. Prices are higher on there due to commissions I have to pay Photoshelter and Paypal. Your still welcome to place your order by check or money order through the mail of course, and it will save you a few bucks.
Thanks !

Though I no longer process credit cards through Yankee Harvest,
your still invited to visit YankeeHarvest.com, my sisters online business.

They take all credit cards including international.

About packing, shipping & framing

8.5x11 Photographs are carefully packaged and shipped flat via US priority mail.
Larger sizes are shipped by either Priority Mail or via Federal Express in a tube.
Fed-X shipments are insured against damage in transport and must be signed for.

Prints are shipped un-mounted, flat, or in tubes when size requires. I do not mount, matt or frame.
Shipping framed prints properly is expensive and more at risk to damage.
I believe framing to be a personal procedure dependant on your taste and environment.
You should consult your local framer for the best presentation in your home or office.
If you really feel that you would order a limited edition print if I were to frame it for you,
please let me know. I will take it into serious consideration on a case by case basis.
