Smoky The Bookstore Cat

The resident cat at Hyde Brothers Books watches me as I browse the photography books across the aisle from him. I stopped to photograph him, and only got one picture before he jumped down and went to the other room to look out the back door.

Sam Hyde told me that they rescued the cat from someone who was neglecting him, and he has a good home in the store now! His name is Smoky.

Update: Smoky went to live with one of Hyde Brothers' employees in August, 2013 because he was suffering from health problems. He died in February, 2014.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

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.

Prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print, and if you have ordered a framed print, to frame and mat it.

Thank you for supporting my work.
