Greetings all,
As always, this newsletter
bares extra good news for a few recipients, as our year end drawing (for a
$10,000 original 30”x40” of choice) is combined with our usual give away of
eight original 11x14’s (valued at $1,000 each). Only one of the eight claimed
their winning last newsletter (congrats to
Joyce Partipilo
of Newberg, Or., winner of a $1,000 Seewald
original!)
But guess what, Joyce was
referred by
Heather Slater
of Tacoma WA, thus Heather wins one too.
AND Heather was referred by Debra Kozik
of Hickory Hills IL., so guess what again,
she wins one too. WHEW! Obviously it pays to refer folks to the
site, huh? Michael is sending those out this week.
Keep reading to find out how to see if you are one
of this newsletters winners.
Michael just returned a
couple of weeks ago from working the southern island of Italy- Sicily, his 51st
destination around the world. He said he was surprised to see how cold it got
there this time of year. We had figured it to be similar to our San Diego
weather, as it’s about the same latitude, but he had to buy a coat as his
California jacket did not do a thing, as it was down to 34 degrees at night
and in the high forties during the day. Here, really cold
is 60! Palermo, Syracuse, Termini, Taormina, and Mt. Etna are just a
few of the places he got his rental car to take him too, capturing city ghost
images, seascapes and landscapes extraordinaire.
He says he got so many
spectacular images the sponsors of this trip will have a real hard time
picking just one favorite from the group. He also has a couple of sponsorship
left, so if you would like to get a Seewald at about half price, let us know.
The only downside is the wait, about one year. He has to ‘vote’ on the art
many times over deciding which ones to allow you to see. More info on sizes,
prices and testimonial from hundreds of happy campers here:

Guess what, a vintage photo
by Edward Steichen just sold
two weeks ago for just under 3 MILLION DOLLARS!!!
Photographic art, art wise, is really taking off lately. Don’t be left
behind, start collecting Seewald’s before Michael figures out he should have
another price increase to keep up with the market changes. Here is the image
with more auction action:
