Prairie Dog On Alert
All I can say is it pays to take your time with critters. If you read enough of my notes here, you’ll get the idea that I like to find an animal and take the time to let him get used to me. It’s only THEN that you can really get some great photos.
Well, this little guy was a breath of fresh air!
I had been trying my the whole “let the animal get used to you” trick for about 2 days on and off with prairie dogs – and with no luck. Either I wasn’t patient enough, or they weren’t. Not sure what the case was, but I know I wasn’t putting any images on the cards, that was certain.
Then I found this little guy. He started off as tolerant, then went on to doing all kinds of poses – you know, looking in different directions, putting his paws in cute positions, that sort of thing.
Although I have a number of shots of him (I think around 600 that night), this is one of my favorites. I really like the “read for action” look he has in this one. I think there were some coyotes off in the distance, so that was probably what he was keeping tabs on in this shot.
About Our Prints....
We currently sell both individual prints and completely framed and ready-to-hang prints. Our framed prints are professionally matted, mounted and framed.
Here's a sample of our basic mat and frame:
Framed prints purchased though us are generally a better deal than taking a loose print to your local frame shop since we have a pretty significant discount that we pass along to you. When you receive your print in the mail, it's ready to hang and even comes with the hardware for doing so.
Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.
Warranty
Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.
Signature
All prints are signed in one of the lower corners (usually the right hand corner).
Delivery
Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.
Discounts
We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.
Thanks for your interest!
