The day before my son's high school graduation, I had to take him to the Allen County Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne for the graduation practice. All of the high schools in Fort Wayne Community Schools have their graduation ceremonies at the Coliseum.
Instead of having the ceremony in the Coliseum's main arena, South Side High School used part of the Expo Center, the huge convention hall attached to the Coliseum. Temporary stands with blue plastic stadium seats were set up around the sides of the room for the graduates' families to watch.
The stands are empty in this photograph because few parents were there for the practice ceremony; many of the kids drove themselves.

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.
If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.
Unframed prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print and to allow it to cure for several days before I package it to ship. Framed prints usually take about two weeks, because my framer usually requires about a week to complete his work.
Please Note: In late 2024, I was forced to dramatically increase the prices for framed prints. This reflects the actual cost of framing them. I make no profit from the additional charge for framing; I charge you what the framer charges me, and every framer that I know has had to ramp up prices due to inflation in recent years. I earn my living selling my photographs, and offer the framing at cost because many people prefer to buy a print that is framed and ready to display.
