Smith' Description Another print of this negative, Ocean Acres #5, is on sale at a photo galleries web site. It is in excellent condition per an expert I consulted.  It would be best to sell this work in person if that is possible because it -- and two other photos -- are my first sale on ebayand likely my last for the forseeable future.  Accorrdingly, to confirm the photo's condition and authenticity so you can buy with confidence, I will take it to a repudible Los Angeles photo gallery of your choosing and pay them to confirm it's condition and of they will do so ship it.   If the condition is other than what I listed, I will tell you and you may cancel the sale.  I researched the shot and discovered it is from the breakthrough period of Mr. Smith's career which apparently makes it more valuable than later works. other works.  He sells his work directly through the contact printers guild from $5000 to $10,000.  I suspect this rhis 1979 photo and printed1982 likely is in the later catagory. Feel free to educate me further about this print. I am not an expert. It is an amazing priint. Place a Bid!
