After 300
After The Rain
Ten years ago this coming spring I photographed After The Rain. It was a superlative year for flowers on the Gorman Hills in southern California. It has yet to repeat the density, the variety and the magnitude of flowers blooming that year and I have returned each year since hoping to see it once again and try to photograph something even close to what After The Rain portrays.
In the past ten years, After The Rain has attracted much attention. It stops almost everyone who passes by my photography exhibit. It illicits some amazing responses from viewers as well. Some have stood before it and just cried, and much to their embarrassment, they look to me and just tell me such a thing has never happened to them before.
From the very first time I displayed this photo as just a small 6×9 inch proof print, it has garnered attention and was purchased readily. In years past, it was difficult keeping my photo bins filled with this photograph. Whatever number of prints I came to any given show with of After The Rain, I could very well assure myself that I would leave for home with all of them sold. It has out sold all other photographs I have ever made and on average over the time since the photo was made is still ahead of any other photo in my portfolio.
Two weeks ago I sold a framed Museum Series sized piece of After The Rain, allowing me to print the 300th print of After The Rain. Print 300 of After The Rain is also a Museum Series sized piece measuring 20×30 inches and matted and framed to 28×38 inches. Even though I do not produce my photographs as limited editions, I do number them and reaching 300 for any photograph is a milestone. After The Rain #300 is my first photograph to reach that milestone and I am quite pleased.
To commemorate this milestone all the photographs on the Organic Light Photography website will be discounted by 25% for the entire month of March 2013.

Peace.
