Print Numbers


Reading the Number on your Final Impressions Print

On each print, under the window mat, I've printed a number such as:

 

p2-0519-i00066

This number is also on the print card in the back pocket of the print. This number identifies the year, camera, field trip and camera image number.

I began this sienna toned artwork and style in 2002, at that time, I decided I needed a numbering system that could be used by my clients to get information about their prints. So the following system was developed:

Each year is represented by a number, so in 2002 of course I started with a 2. Each field trip is designated as a portfolio, so the first set is portfolio year 2002 (p2). The next number is the date of the field trip. In the above example May 19 (0519).

The next letter designates the camera designation.

i	first camera
k	second camera
m	third camera

and the final number indicates the image number, in this case it was the 66th image I took with my first camera for this style (00066).

So p2-0519 is portfolio of May 19, 2002.

Some time in the future I'm going to write up a ship field trip report and have that posted so each owner can know what I was doing and thinking for each trip I took.
