RE: IS THIS TABOO? FW: PRICES FOR PT/PD PRINTS

Bob,

    If you go to my web site SchrammStudio.com you can find out what I
charge for all my prints, platinium, crysotype, uranotype and deguerreotype.
The price is related to the size. I have been told that my prices are not
high enough but I am happy with them. I think the price also is related to
your location. Obviously I cannot charge the same price in West Virginia as
in New York City.

Best wishes,

Bob Schramm
