Last week I picked up a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, a display model from Kenmore Camera. While it is a light-weight, compact camera, it is exceedingly customizable and has full manual menus.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be posting experimental photos from my camera as I learn its ins and outs.

Framed prints from the first set, except “Looming” are unmatted 8×10 prints framed in black plastic document frames with a glass front.  “Looming” is an unmatted 8×12 framed in a 11×14 “floating” frame, with acrylic on both sides and a thin black metal border.

Unframed prints in the second set are 8x10s with no framing or matting.  In addition, all prints can be ordered as unframed prints, though there will be a delay while new prints are ordered.  NOTE:  Anything marked SOLD can still be ordered as an unframed print.

Prices without shipping are $29 for framed prints and $20 for unframed prints.  These are special prices only for this sale.

Shipping for up to four framed prints to anywhere in the United States via Priority Mail with delivery confirmation is $11.  Shipping for an unlimited amount of unframed prints in the United States via Priority Mail with delivery confirmation is $5.  Mixed shipments will be charged the framed price.  International shipping will need to be individually calculated.  All items must be shipped to a PayPal confirmed address.
