Going to start thinning out more of my collection, along with some of my kid's collections to help them out. All auctions will be starting well below Ryuijie's current $500.00 retail price for his platinum photographs this size that he makes today.

Photo is in excellent condition, corner mounted/matted to 11"x14" museum board. 

Signed just under the image, with title and dates under the mat.

The look and feel of a $500.00 Ryuijie...that's because it is!

Need to know more about Ryuijie, do a search on the net and many websites (including his) will come up.

Found a short film about Ryuijie. Click link below to view.

*****

As I look back over my 45+ years of collecting I don't think anyone is now more prolific on turning out great images month after month than Ryuijie. I first met Ryuijie in the late 1970's as I was working in a local Camera store. In 1981 I opened my own photographic supply store in Monterey. It was at that time I started collecting Ryuijie's photographs.

With the history of such great photographers in our area like E. Weston, Adams, Baer, B. Weston, Bullock, Crouch, Weber, Gilpin, Sexton, Millea, Casanave, plus so many more, no one with the exception of Brett Weston (who had a 65 year career) has been more prolific than Ryuijie. For over thirty-five years he help raise two children, worked full-time in a local print shop and still has had time to turn out one spectacular photo after another, week after week.

Please note that the actual image size is slightly different than the paper size listed above as this darkroom made photograph was handmade and may have required some custom cropping.

The photo shown is the item offered here for sale. If you see any discrepancy in the title, specifics, etc., please let me know.
