Use this page and information to order any 8x10 prints you may want after locating
them in the cycle proof book scans ......
First .... A few things to cover about Black & White Negatives (especially vintage
ones) which through my own examination in the last few months with many of my
dads Black & White negatives has proven to be true..........
Black & White negatives are a bit trickier to digitally duplicate because the automated
dust and scratch removal technologies available in even the best negative scanners
...... are not effective on black and white film. In short it has to do with the silver
halide oxide grains in B&W film which these scanners can't detect. Thus scratches,
dust particles, deterioration and such ...... show up much more obviously in the
scanned images from Black & White film than a color negative or slide.
Once a B&W negative is scanned .... the image needs to be taken into a digital
enhancement or restoration program like "Photo-Shop" .... or something compatible.
That is what I will be doing with all the B&W negative scans to touch up, remove
scratches, fading, dust particles, defects .... etc... etc.... . Such is the digital
restoration process.
It's a bit more of a process than a straight Color Negative scan ..... even though I am
taking the motorcycle color scans through the digital enhancement process also. I
got a thing about "Quality" ..... so shoot me ! ha .....
What this all came down to was deciding on a fair price to charge for an 8x10 print on
these considering the restoration process involved. And $22.00 each is what I
landed at ...... for now. It's actually the bottom end for my time involved in getting a
very high quality pristine print for you guys if you would like to order any.
To order any prints ..... fill out the information below and follow the process described.
(please allow up to 2 weeks upon receipt of payment, and identification of your order to receive your print(s)
Now drop a check in the mail ($22.00 for each 8x10 print )
for your total order made out to Mario Burton.
And mail it to
Mario Burton, PO Box #902 Bloomington, CA 92316 ......
***** Include your Home Mailing address ..... so I can get your prints to you ......
duh !!!
If you would rather list your order in either a separate e mail to me, or snail mail that
is fine too. Whatever is easier for you ...... just be sure to include all the above
relevant information. Thanks. :)
Last note on ordering ..... if you have examined enough of these proof pages of my
Dads motorcycle racing photography, you will notice a few different ways he
numbered his proofs over the years. And some pages have no identifying proof
number on them whatsoever. In that case ...... do the best you can to describe to me
what row .... and picture from the left of the page it is of the print you want. All proof
pages have a Scan # ...... and date they were taken. So we may take a few e mails
between us to identify the correct picture you want. :) Thanks again !!
Final Note: My ultimate goal in the District 37 Cycle Proofs part of the faphoto.com
site.... Is to eventually get a photo book publication or two done of my Dads best
motorcycle vintage racing photography and sell it at the retail level in the motorcycle
racing industry. Along with a few other ideas that are floating around .....
But until I get all the available proof books scanned and archived ..... to identify which
prints to include in the book ('s) ...... I have no problem offering 8x10 prints for sale
to those who have inquired about it in the last few months. All the best, and keep
racing ......
Mario Burton.
