Venice boy sitting beside his football | Limited Edition of 10
As I navigated through the poetic maze of Venice, a tender scene unfolded before me. A young boy, seated beside his football, was immersed in a moment of quiet reflection. The ageless stones around him seemed to cradle his youthful innocence against the backdrop of a city that whispers tales of bygone eras at every corner. The juxtaposition of fleeting childhood against the enduring architecture around evoked a narrative rich in contrast and sentiment.
The football, a symbol of youthful zest, lay still, echoing the calmness of the moment. The boy, with his casual demeanor, seemed to be in a world of his own, perhaps pondering the adventures that lay ahead. His solitary figure against the Venetian scenery told a story of contemplation amidst play, a pause in the timeless dance of growing up.
Venice, a city where every stone has a story to tell, provided a picturesque backdrop to this simple yet evocative scene. The blend of youthful innocence and historic elegance created a tableau that tugs at the strings of nostalgia.
Through my lens, I aimed to encapsulate this fleeting moment of reflection, a pause that holds within it the beauty of innocence and the promise of adventures yet to come. This photograph is not just a capture; it’s a tender narrative of childhood, with a hint of nostalgia for the past and a whisper of hope for the future. The print invites one to reminisce on the transient yet beautiful phase of childhood, amidst a scene that is as timeless as it is endearing.

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.
