Shadow Catchers was how early Native Americans referred to photographers – believing their large black box cameras could capture spirits. I agree. Afterall, as long as the photograph exists doesn't it exist Somewhere in Time ~ if only in our imagination. Certainly, seeing through these Windows of Time and Space is like time travel - enlightening, always captivating, and sometimes even magical. I started Shadow Catchers in 1992 in homage to our Washington State famous as a delivery system for my products made using the photographs in my collection. Learn more here...

~ FAQ's ABOUT ONLINE GALLERIES ~
(1) Yes, there are different Versions of the original photograph made. USE the ID# when Ordering!
The Reason: For my first 20+ years in the Darkroom as I was taught I honored the photographer by doing 'straight prints' to print from Jeffers 8x10 negatives - I didn't alter the photographer's vision. After the ugly RC papers overtook the beautiful fiber-based ones and digitization arrived - I began to repair and restore these real faces and places and, allowed myself to edit their originals. Sacrilege and now I 'play' with those original photographs - as I believe that those photographers would have also 'progressed' with the technology and edited and also made other versions of their work. Currently, with Ai software I have brought back from the Shadows of Time severely damaged negatives and photographs - and believe that 'if the photo exists' those things will not be forgotten and importantly - lost to historians and appreciators of the Art of Photography in the future. So, there are Versions. And, so...
IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE THE CORRECT ID ON THE PICTURE YOU WANT.
(2) Yes, Logos are annoying but sadly I have to protect my hard work, financial investment and assets from the vultures. who are too lazy or cheap to do their own collections.
