Hi, Larry:
I wish I was further along in my Print Folio!
Not the place to explain this in depth, but the short version is in the near future I will offer the entire Folio (246 well-published, giant nature and travel photo prints from 4x5-inch film at up to 60" in width) for things like this. The orders will go straight to my printer, my work (nearly 5,000 hours so far and counting!) will be done, and about 80% of sales price goes to the beneficiary. My printer gets paid a discounted price, I get nothing but satisfaction (worth more than gold).
But… I'm still a few months from finishing…!!!
