Casting Crab Traps
Click image to see larger.
Catching Pacific Stone Crab, or Jaiba in Spanish is hard work. Jesus and Toño do it everyday with a religious fervor. Every morning, they drive to Punta Baja from their home 40 minutes north near San Quintin, Baja California. They launch their boat from the shore, and spend the next 5-6 hours amongst the elements. In that 5-6 hours, they can experience 3 different seasons, be visited by seals, dolphins, whales, and hopefully take in a big catch of crab, so they can provide for their family.
Here Jesus is casting one of 15 the baited traps that make up one series. They will typically have 10-15 series in the water, and pull, empty each trap, bait, then cast them back, every day of the year. Toño marks each spot with his GPS and guides the boat, while Jesus mans all the pots.
Fine Art Prints
Fine art prints are printed on the highest quality Hahnemühle papers and each print is inspected by me for quality.
Canvas Prints
Canvas prints are available for certain series of photos. They are durable, do not need to be framed and look great over couches. Each canvas is signed by me, on the front, lower right.
I use a two inch stand-off edge, and the image wraps around to carry the image straight to the wall.
Framing Info
I have a relationship with local framer Mickey Maynard of Crack in the Wall, here in San Diego. Framing runs in his family. His work is unparalleled, and each frame is exquisitely cut and joined.
If you select to have your piece framed, you will receive a beautiful black wood frame, 4-inch white museum mat, and acrylic glazing (acrylic does not break).
Custom options are available. Please ask if you are interested in custom framing.
Shipping Info
My priority is that when you order something from me, you are able to hang it directly on your wall, and it looks perfect without blemishes or dings. So I take great care in shipping you your prints.
If you order a loose print, it will be shipped under plastic in a sturdy cardboard tube.
If you order a canvas or framed photograph, it will be shipped in a reinforced cardboard box, with padding to protect the edges and front of frame and photo.
