MORE THANKS!: PRICES FOR PT/PD PRINTS

DEAR STEVE, BOB, JIM, TOM AND MORE,
        Thanks for the additional responses! They have all been helpful! The good
news is that they are all in the same ball park and I now know what the ball
park looks like and where to find it! And it CERTAINLY doesn't resemble a
cricket pitch!
        As Julius once said, crossing his Rubicon, "Alia Iacta Est!" which
translates roughly into, "I just sent my estimate!" (I know it means "The
Die is Cast" but allow me some revisionism, huh?) Now comes the part I hate
most...WAITING!
        Thanks again for everyone's extremely helpful info. Damn! I love this
list!
                                        CHEERS!
                                                BOB

Subject: 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
