The following are items I found on the Internet about photographer Stephen Haynes; 

Photographer Jock Sturges says of me: "You are ... one of the best small camera [i.e., digital SLR] photographers I know."

I have been a photographer since 1969. Most of that time my work was in film, first exclusively in black and white, and then increasingly in color. Until 2000 I worked at various levels of intensity while concentrating on other, non-photographic careers. Since October 2000, however, this has changed. Now I work with digital media, currently the Canon 5D Mark III digital SLR, and fine art photography is a frequent pursuit.

 Stephen Haynes is a fine art photographer living in Minneapolis, MN. He comes relatively late to full-time devotion to the photographic arts, but has compensated by the intensity of his work. While a principal subject currently is the fine art nude, he has also done notable work in landscapes, travel scenes, portraiture and the performing arts. Stephen organizes, promotes and assembles The Nude in Minnesota group shows each spring in Minneapolis. 

Collections: Twelve photographs from the Intensity 4 series in the permanent collection of The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana Mr. Haynes’s limited edition prints are owned by 200 collectors in thirty-five states and twelve foreign countries.

It's no wonder photographers such as Nick Brandt, Ryuijie, Jock Sturges, Maggie Taylor, and many others are now working in this medium. Even the Ansel Adams Gallery is offering Ansel's photographs with this process, they are beautiful!!  

It's now proven that photographs made using the newer "HD" inks (that I use) along with the finer papers will last over 100 years, some are now saying 200-500 years!

*What is an Archival Pigment Print? Archival pigment printing denotes a printmaking process incorporating refined particles of pigment that are resilient to the environmental elements that commonly degrade and erode dye molecules shortening the life of a print. The use of pigmented inks for the purpose of archival printing is ideal as they can have a storage life up to, and beyond, 200 years; when stored in a museum-quality frame under ideal conditions and lighting. This allows for superb print life for photographers and artists to either store, or sell, their work; and they are able to promise that the buyer will never again have a complaint that the image has soured.
