A ‘Thank You’ to Jim M Goldstein
Late last year, photographer (and blogger and podcaster) Jim M. Goldstein came up with a great way to reconnect photographers and fans of photography with the experience of the print – “Buying Prints from your Favorite Photographers.”
I was very pleased with Jim’s interest in my work, and with his selection of one of my favorite recent photographs:
Submerged Boulders, Precipice Lake. Sequoia National Park, California. August 6, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Since I am a fan of Jim’s work as well, we decided to trade photographs and I ended up copy of his very lovely and mysterious “Primitive Coastline” seascape. And, yes, I’ll post my image of his framed photograph here before long. We met back on a rainy winter evening during the holidays and had a chance to “talk shop” a bit, and it was a joy not only to see his work but to meet him.
Yesterday Jim posted a photograph of my now-framed photograph at his blog, along with some very kind and much appreciated words about my photography.
Thanks, Jim!
(I would also like to take this opportunity to offer my gratitude to landscape photographer and master printer Charles Cramer for his invaluable help finding out how to best “see” this photograph as a print. Thanks, Charlie! :-)

Dan it’s been my pleasure. I really enjoyed meeting, viewing your prints and now…. enjoying your print in my home.
He picked a nice one for sure. The original idea was also brilliant.
Yes, Jim really had a great idea on this one. I hope that it may become an annual thing…
