Rob and Lauren Blog

Well, we’re currently done outdoor shooting for the year. The snow on the ground this morning just reinforces that for us (we’re not down with the cold weather). But now as we’re starting to finish up all our wedding stuff, we’re realizing that we have thousands of really cool photos that never got published. So I’m going to start posting one photo a day! Feel free to post any thoughts on the image in the comments. I think I’ll bring back the 100th commentor contest. If you are the one who comments on a -00 then you’ll win a free fine art travel print from us! Woo!!

First up, a frame from the Amerstdam airport on our trip to Greece.

 P.S. We’re fairly close to the next -00 so comment away! But don’t leave multiple comments, or just filler comments. Trust me, I can delete comments and I will :)

Looking for a unique and memorable Christmas/Holiday gift this year? Well, look no further. We’ve figured it out. It’s perfect. You are going to be a hero! ;)

Silliness aside, we have carefully selected 14 of our favourite images from our travels to sell as fine art prints. These are images from Singapore, Vietnam, Greece, and India, taken by us over the past 2 years. You can purchase the prints from this gallery:

http://www.robandlaurenphotographers.com/pickpic/gallery/splash.php?gallery_id=229.

And you can securely use your credit card, for extra easiness.

The details of the print:

These are fine art images printed on archival lustre paper, and presented in a white conservation mat. They come in one size: 6”x9”. Why 6”x9”? We don’t like to crop our work, and 4x6 is too small, and 8x12 is too big. So we’re offering a custom print size. It is matted to 11x14, so it will still be very easy to frame. Wonderful! The mat will be signed by both of us, and we’ll write the location where the image was created, as well as the year.

Here’s a shot of one of the prints. (Note: frame not included, just to show you how pretty it can look). As mentioned, the print is 6”x9” and the mat is 11”x14”. Simply pick up an 11x14 frame and you’re dancin’!

Donation:

Furthermore, for every print sold we will donate $5 to XDRTB.org, James Nachtwey’s foundation. 

From their website: “XDRTB.org is an extraordinary effort to tell the story of extremely drug-resistance tuberculosis (XDR-TB) and TB through powerful photographs taken by James Nachtwey.”

We wanted to choose a foundation that resonated with us. James Nachtwey has been a huge inspiration for us as photographers, and as people. Supporting his work definitely is a worthwile cause. The Canadian affiliate of XDRTB.org is called RESULTS Canada, and is how Canadians can support XDRTB.org. This is where we’ll be sending our donation. For more information on how you can help in Canada visit: http://www.results-resultats.ca/

Contest:

We’re super excited to finally start working on the fine art side of our business. And to get the ball rolling we’re having a little contest to give away the framed print you saw at the beginning of this post! It’s simple. If you purchase a fine art travel print, you’ll be entered to win the framed one! We’ll randomly select from all the names some time in December, not sure yet when :) But fun!

The images:

Here are the images we are offering. If you’ve seen one of our images in the past that you’d really like, but isn’t in this gallery, drop us a line and we might be able to swing something for you :)

Hope you guys enjoy these :) Here is that link again:
