My Loss is Your Gain




Big changes are in the works ! After five years of managing my photography business and retail studio location here in Dayton, Ohio, with lots of painful lessons learned, I’m finally moving onward. The Jim Crotty family is moving to Texas !

I will be continuing my photography business there, but without the expense and burden of a retail studio location. I will be doing more in the way of freelance, commercial work as well as returning to teaching part-time at the community college level.

When I began Picture Ohio, LLC I emphasized my work with nature and landscape photography, only to realize later that the true potential of the business was by shooting location and assignment work for businesses and other organizations.

This is why I have so many framed prints still sitting in my studio. I made the unfortunate mistake of investing quite a bit of resources in custom framing during my first two years of being in business. Anyone who knows anything about artwork knows just how expensive framing can be.

I have 24″x30″ prints, custom framed with black wood and double white mats, of Dayton and Ohio scenics, nature and landscapes. I also have several 16″x24″s and 8″x12″s. These framed prints have been on display in several area restaurants.

The problem is I can’t take them with me to Texas, so . . . .

My loss is your gain. On framed prints that are normally listed for $250.00 I am offering for sale at $50.00 each. 16″x24″ at $25.00. 8″x12″ at $15.00.

I also have many, many mounted and unmounted prints sitting in my print bins. Some the mounted prints are as large as 40″x60.” Lots of unmounted prints in the 5″x7″ to 16″x24″ range. All of these I’m offering for sale from as low as $5.00 (5″x7″s and 8″x10″s) to $50.00 for the largest mounted prints.

All these prints, and more, need to be sold. EXTREMELY low prices. Sidney my dog is not for sale, despite urgings from the wife. He’s coming to Texas too.

This is a “cash and carry” sale only. Pricing applies to just those prints, both framed and unframed, that are currently in stock at my studio in Centerville at 6372 Far Hills Ave., just a few doors down from Elsa’s.

No refunds or returns. All sales are final. No special orders. I accept cash, check, VISA or Mastercard. Ohio retail sales tax applies.
