Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

In a pasted weekend I was thinking why now, when I am older, I do not try things easy as I did when I was a kid or much younger. Also why it feels like I have so little time comparing with the older days.
I guess back than, I didn't have this every day routine which takes all the energy out of you. And also I took time easier, I guess I was not worried about it. As I have read yesterday in one book, Also time needs its own time. Second think is that now when I am thinking to do something I see all the problems and troubles on the route to achieve it and when it is not 99% possible I just skip it. Back than I only saw what I like to make and only on the road I encounter all the things and sometimes thing failed, but also sometimes it was finished.

Therefore and for all other reasons, I have decide to not having things right now, I let the time takes its own time and also will not think of all possible reason the goal should fail, but I will just do it and will find troubles on a way and fight them, if possible. I like this idea very much, there is no reason to hurry, only reason to enjoy...

As I mentioned it at the time I have close my web shop, I am planning to restore offering my prints on web again. This time I will do a little experiment using eBay. On start of each month I will offer few prints for seven days on eBay. So at 1st of October you will see at least one print of minimal size 30x40 cm offered for starting price equal to production costs plus shipping. Print will be delivered not matted and it will be done in limited series of one print. If not sold I will hang it in my living room. I may put on sale more prints every month, but I guess I will start with one.

Choice of the print I will do mostly based on my favorite ones at the time. Quite often it will be some new shots, which I like very much or of which I am most proud.
The print will be produce using quality carbon pigment inks on my Epson 2100 printer. As a paper I will use either Epson Premium semi-gloss photo paper or matte PermaJet Alpha Cotton Rag paper. Print is delivered named, numbered and signed with additional information on back inside hard carton flat enveloped.

So watch out for the 1st October 2006 !!!
