Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

I am focusing on eBay these days more and more. It is like a drug, but a lot of fun. I shouldn't forget that we have new month so new free print should be available. I will make it available tonight and I have some interesting ideas about that as well. But about that later when all free prints are gone. :-)

If you are watching my eBay blog you may already know that I am buys last few days with creating my own ACEO cards. If you do not know what it is, don't be. I didn't know few days ago as well.
ACEO = Art Cards, Editions and Originals.

I was really amazed by the ones you can find at eBay. Really great variety of material, motives and quality as well. So I decided that I will make some based on my photographs.

First I needed to choose which photos I will use. I decide on lights from old city of Stockholm. GamlaStan. I made those pictures back in 2003, but I need to rescan and rework two quite a lot, one was easier.
Second I went for not so good paper, they were rolling a bit and not that dark black as I wish.

Well all and all it went really great and I produce pure carbon series in two prints with great light sepia tone. And I also made two series in neutral black. Here you can see the pure carbon once.

And by the way they are now for sale at eBay.
