I'm not sure what you would call personal involvement.

I took the photos, cut the mats, cut the glass, built the frames, did the design and put it all together.

None of these photos were ever taken with the intent of making them into "art." Most were actually me just playing with a new lens or something of that sort.

For more detail on this last one you can see the digital image here.

As far as bidding goes... It's not going to happen.

If I sell one of these to anyone the money will go the same place all out of budget money goes. Half will go toward paying for new photographic equipment and the other half goes into my daughter's college fund.

This one of Ad Astra is actually spoken for by someone at work. He asked what I wanted for it and I explained that I have $65 worth of material in it as far as print, wood, glass and backing. Beyond that I told him to make me an offer on what he thought my time, vision, skill and execution were worth.

So we'll see.
