No Parking Portland Fish Market | Limited Edition of 10
During my visit to the bustling Portland Fish Market, I was struck by the intriguing juxtaposition of a "No Parking" sign against the lively backdrop of the market. This black-and-white fine art photo captures the essence of urban life, showcasing the character and atmosphere of this thriving commercial hub.
The "No Parking" sign stands prominently in the foreground, its bold lettering contrasting sharply with the surrounding textures and patterns of the old weathered decaying wall. The monochromatic palette of the image highlights the wall and spray painted 'no parking' and 'tow away' signs stark simplicity while drawing attention to the intricate details and rich textures of the market scene.
Portland, a vibrant city located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, is known for its thriving culinary scene, diverse culture, and a picturesque waterfront. The Portland Fish Market is a testament to the city's rich maritime heritage and commitment to sustainability and locally sourced produce. The market serves as a bustling hub for locals and visitors alike, offering diverse fresh seafood and a unique insight into the city's thriving food industry.
From a photographic standpoint, this image captures the character and atmosphere of the Portland Fish Market back lane wall, utilizing contrast, composition, and lighting to engage the scene visually. The black-and-white palette imbues the photograph with a timeless quality, reflecting the market's enduring appeal and the city's lively spirit.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
