Time has stood still at the Sam Leon Bar in Bodie. The upright piano still stands in front of the panelled wooden wall, the stool in front of it, as if someone were waiting for things to carry on.
Since 1962, Bodie has been preserved in a state of ‘arrested decay’. They repair what would otherwise collapse, but they change nothing. The bottle on the piano has remained where it is. No label. No explanation.
I can recommend these sizes. As things don’t always fit perfectly in real life, the print can be made to your exact specifications, down to the centimetre.
If, for example, you would like the print to be 78 cm high, please use the ‘Custom Size’ calculator here or in the form below. The calculator will immediately work out the correct dimensions for the design.

The ideal size of the print is important – and people often choose prints that are too small.
The best method: cut out the desired image size from newspaper and attach it to the wall using masking tape or removable adhesive tape. Only then can you really see if the size is right.
The virtual room views also help you to assess the effect in a spatial context. And if you’d like, send me a photo of the room – I’ll create a personalised room view for you.

The prints can be collected, delivered in person or shipped worldwide. Postage costs depend on size, weight and destination; they are calculated on a case-by-case basis and shown in the quote. Within Germany, they range from €7.69 to €200, depending on size and weight.
I particularly like this style of presentation and recommend it for photographs across many of my series — the result is elegant and timeless.
The photo paper is first mounted onto a 2 mm thick aluminium Dibond panel and then fitted into a bespoke wooden frame. Between the frame and the print is a ‘shadow gap’, a space approximately 5–7 mm wide. This visible gap between the image and the frame creates an impression of lightness and depth.
Classic smooth matt frames are available in white and black, alongside glazed wood frames and solid wood frames in various timber types. Profile depths range from 32 to 54 mm and profile widths from 5 to 15 mm.

The print is mounted onto a 3 mm thick Aluminium Dibond panel. An aluminium hanging frame on the back ensures easy and secure hanging. Thanks to its light weight, this version is particularly well suited for wall mounting. Simple and timelessly modern – a classic.
A protective wax coating (see below) may be advisable for additional protection.
Type: Archival Pigment Print
Paper: Baryta fine art paper
The image is mounted behind 4 mm acrylic glass onto a 2 mm thick aluminium Dibond panel – the standard option, which is recommended for its high-quality finish. Alternatively, a version with 2 mm acrylic glass mounted onto 2 mm aluminium Dibond is available.
The timeless design of these acrylic glass prints is widely popular. An aluminium frame on the back ensures easy and secure hanging. Glossy and matt finishes are available.
Glossy glass offers maximum brilliance and depth, reflecting light when exposed to direct light. Matt glass is the elegant solution for bright rooms, as it absorbs reflections almost completely.
Paper: Fuji Crystal Archive photo paper
Polished edges
Bespoke frames offer the opportunity to style the print to suit your personal taste and style. The frame colour, profile width and depth can be customised to ensure the presentation is perfectly tailored to the image.
Museum-grade glass can be used, which is virtually reflection-free and allows the colours and details of the print to be seen in their true form. This creates an elegant, clear and expressive presentation that emphasises the character of the print.
The print is also available unmounted and offers pure fine art quality on high-quality paper. The loose pigment print (inkjet) is usually shipped rolled up and should be processed or framed immediately upon receipt. Please do not store the inkjet print rolled up for any length of time.
If you wish to frame the print yourself or have it framed, we recommend an additional white border around the image. This makes mounting easier (e.g. behind a passe-partout) and protects the edges of the image.
To ensure the print lies perfectly flat, it can be mounted onto a 1 mm thick Forex board.
The wax is carefully applied by hand in an ultra-thin layer to the photograph, sealing the surface. This not only gives the image a sophisticated finish but also provides effective protection against scratches, dust and fingerprints. The wax sealant is particularly recommended for Prints mounted on Aluminium Dibond and Floater Frames.
My two favourite finishes are the print in a Floating Frame and the one mounted on Alu-Dibond. For the Floating Frame, I recommend the brown-stained wooden frame; the walnut frame looks the best.
