truck for sale

Truck for Sale is one of the anchor pieces of I’m one of those Americas, the photo essay I’m showing for ArtPrize. It’s a portrait of an unemployed man selling his 1959 Ford F600 truck… a gift he’s had since his 16th birthday. Because of hard times in Michigan, he decided to part ways with it, despite the sentiment. This is one of a handful of stories I collected for this essay.

I produced this piece last year to stir interest in the story, but it’s been sitting in storage until now. The final pieces for ArtPrize won’t be framed and finished like this, so this one’s available for purchase to fund the completion of the show. It’s a big piece… the image area is 33 x 22 inches, while the frame is 41 x 31 inches. Art collectors and enthusiast may find this a worthy investment… I have a reserve price in mind, but please make an offer, and consider that I’m seeking funds to finish this show. This is a first edition that will be unique to any other prints of this piece. Ask why.

In addition, I’ve opened up my social galleries for print purchases. If you’ve seen me around town shooting for the Grand Rapids Social Diary, there’s a chance you might find a great image of yourself in there. Go to GALLERIES FOR PRINT if you’re interested in supporting a local artist!
