Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

Few days ago I have printed three small images and place them to very nice frames. They create nice triplet of Dutch landscape. It was gift to our friend Roy. After I made them I took fee images as they stayed at our home.
I was thinking maybe it would be far better to offer for sale these complete sets of images, directly placed in frames.

Sales were on freezing point in last few weeks and I was wonder why it is like that. I certainly need to refresh the web store, feels quite old fashioned and not really inspiring. But that I made to offer images which people like and series. And ever returning question: Sale only prints or matted them or even sale the already framed. More additions I do to them the heavier package and more postage costs it will required.
Anyway here are two shots of the current triplet. I would appreciate your thought and ideas, thanks.

My best friend.

I really have to write about this. At work I am creating new course for the new medical software which is oriented for Mammography. The system is using five mega pixel monitors from WIDE.
Today I have brought image I publish on yesterday in its full resolution 16bit TIFF file and displayed it on the freshly calibrated monitor. Please note these are black and white monitors.

What I have saw was something you have to experience in person. Absolutely stunning image on the screen, I dare to say that it was same if not better as printed. This image has not really dark deep black, but I will bring tomorrow such an image to see how does it look.
Only imagine the resolution of one of this monitor is 2500x2048 with 12bit depth.

Classic Sunday afternoon, freshly moved grass, deep blue sky and happy clouds.

As the summer ends I love to just lie in the fields.

And than you realize you still in real life, sitting in front of TV, clock is showing 3am and you have no idea where those last five hours went. Should you sell the bloody TV set?

Almost clear, small clouds could let us feel, how big space is it here :-)

Sorry for lack of updates. I just returned today from my week trip in Cleveland, Ohio. This was my first experience with traveling in USA. Even I have not see much of a country I certainly have seen a bit ;-) Now I am so tired I need some sleep.
Talk to you all later

Shadows on the wall. How traffic is different in Ohio than it is in Europe, incredible...

Just wondering, I have this feedburner statistics and it seems only nine people subscribed using feedburner. I added it to have a bit of overview how many people are watching my site. Seems like I never can get over nine, so I wonder, do I ever reach double numbers?
I though using this banner and email subscription would make it for people easier than using RSS readers.


Thank you very much for your support!

I have just notice that now double cipher number is reported by feedburner. Feels nice, thank you!

Left empty, alone, fogotten. Nobody needs swings anymore, everybody is adult now...

So how do you feel about my photos from last two month any different that those from earlier this year? Just wondering?
I also notice that I really have a huge amount of old images here images from six and more years ago. And also the shop seems a bit old stylish. Especially the photo presentation. I need to find out some time to do some clean-up and refresh of the look and formatting.

I would really appreciate to hear from you about those differences between last two month photos and those from rest of the year before. Thanks a lot!
