Frequently Asked Questions

Other than those stories we choose to self-publish, we do not have much control over that. We will be creating a blog or news section to provide updates.

The story finds inspiration in various histories regarding the Revolution, Pancho Villa, and the role of the American emissaries. I have a more-than-casual interest in the subject matter. Our family history includes an engineer from Iowa living with his family in San Luis Potosí and an entertainer and circus owner popular in Mexico. It also includes a general and governor under Porfirio Diaz (Mexico’s leader removed by the first Mexican Revolution). They all felt the effects of the Revolution, which led to tales passed down and shared around the dinner table as we grew up. I have weaved some of those tales into the story.

Yes. We offer photographs in various sizes and formats within the photo galleries. We typically include framed with matting, unframed fine art prints, high gloss metal prints, and gallery boards. We list the most popular sizes and finishes in the drop-down menus.

We can provide custom products with more than 350 options. For example, there are many more size options. There are seven types of frames (white, Barnwood, light natural wood, dark brown (walnut) wood, black, and graphite). We can do metal prints not only with a high gloss finish but also with mid-gloss and satin. We can provide acrylic mounting with either glossy or non-glare finishes. There are also options for non-matted frames and prints on canvas (with three different types). Further, we can work with you on filter applications, such as changing a color photo to a black and white or another filter option.  And this doesn't even scratch the surface of some more creative projects, like creating a calendar or ornament!

If you would like a photograph in a format, finish, or size not already offered in our galleries or would like different filtering or any other customization, please get in touch with us to see if we can fulfill your request. 

My original camera for some of the photos shown here was a Canon EOS 20D. I replaced that in 2017 with a Canon EOS 80D. Starting in January 2023, I am using a Canon EOS R5, a 45 MP mirrorless camera.

If you are planning a bulk order to, for example, decorate your B&B or hotel, or if you are a retailer and would like to display and sell our works, please feel free to contact us and discuss pricing options.

We do not produce the final product in-house but rely on established third-party production services. Currently, we do not have any arrangements with the producers for expedited service. Plan ahead!

The size shown is the frame size. By clicking on the size, the program will show you what it looks like and, thus, how much matting there is. If you want to know the size of the picture itself, please contact us. As with the framing options, we also have the opportunity to adjust matting sizes.

No. The program we use dramatically reduces the digital size of the photo for the website (and automatically adds a watermark). Our images can range from 10 MB to close to 100MB per photo, so they are large files that would take some time to download, depending on the connection and the device, if not reduced for website display. The downsizing also prevents the photo from being copied and enlarged, which is pretty standard for photo sites. In short, the actual size of the images used for production is significantly larger and, therefore, amenable to enlargement. 

Some, but that is not our focus. That's why we use Pic-Time and its group of fully-vetted service providers to handle that. 

The books are available on Amazon.com and Amazon Kindle in print and electronic editions. If you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, both books are included in the service and free to subscribers.
