Ctein tells me that as of later this morning, all the print orders will have shipped.
If you placed an order, you should have received an email confirming shipment. If for some reason you did not, please let Ctein know.
The final sales tally was "Fresh Pahoehoe" (the red lava) 126, "Tortoise-Shell Pahoehoe" 95, and "Sealing Wax Palms" 48, for a total of 269 prints in 185 orders. Seventy-six of those orders were international, and, of those, 17 went to Canada.
Please allow up to 30 days from now for your order to arrive. If any are lost or damaged in shipment, Ctein can send a replacement. But please don't contact him until 30 days have passed. He doesn't know when they'll get there either!
Thanks to everybody who helped make this sale another great success.
I'm working with another photographer on TOP's next print offer, which is currently scheduled for late spring. It looks like it's going to be another really special opportunity to acquire an example of a rare alternative process that most people have never seen outside of museums. I don't have any details ready to share just yet, but I'll keep you posted.
Mike
I do hope it's a great platinum print.

Congratulations to Ctein!
He so deserves whatever good comes his way. He has to be the world's most dedicated photographer. Brilliant writer too.

If anyone wants to buy a platinum/palladium print you can always email me =)
Great to hear this sale went well. I picked up a print in the first sale (and couldn't afford another at this time) which is proudly displayed at my home now. Other photogs keep asking me how they can print their color images with this process!

"Other photogs keep asking me how they can print their color images with this process!"
And they can, actually--Ctein does custom work.
Kinda expensive, but can be worth it for the right image and the right application.
