If you’re a follower of mine, you may remember my self-published photobook The Chicago Commute. When I started this project, it was completely a means to explore a new genre and continue doing what I love. I never expected it to turn into something more than lots of bad photos and a handful of good ones. Then an opportunity to create a book arose and forced me to seriously at a collection of work. I then turned to my Chicago pieces and thought hard about how I captured them and why. Then those photos got noticed by a relatively new printing company from the Netherlands. Before I knew it, I was working with Floop Photography on selecting six pieces from The Chicago Commute to print in 3D as limited edition prints.

Floop Photography does things differently. They’re flipping the printed photo industry into a new dimension - a third dimension, if you will. You see, Floop Photography doesn’t just print your photos, they analyze them with their own AI software to add depth to your 2D photos. Then they print them on sheets of plastic that create thin lenses over the image, a lenticular image. The lenses present each eye with a slightly different image that gives you the sense of depth in the photos. It really is something you have to see to understand and the experience is out of this world.

So how does this relate to me? Floop Photography wanted to feature several of my Chicago photos to both promote their amazing new depth-sensing AI in combination with a printing technique more commonly known for holographic cards that change images when you look at it from a different angle. Don’t worry, they loved my work so much they also wanted to promote me as well. It’s a win-win for the both of us, but only if you as a reader help spread the word. For a limited time, six of my photos will be available for purchase as one of these amazing 3D prints. Only 50 of each photo will be printed and Floop Photography is selling them to wherever they can physically ship them to worldwide. That means out of a world population of 7 billion people, only 300 can own their very own “signed” 3D print of one of my photos.

What? You don’t plan to buy your own 3D print? That’s alright, I’ll forgive you… as long as you take the time to share this post or the web address to purchase one and tell your friends how awesome this is. It only takes a minute and costs you nothing. Oh, and ask your friends to share it with their friends too, please.

P.S. If you purchase one and are in the Chicagoland area, I’ll personally sign your print, take a picture with you and the print, or anything of the sort. As long as safe precautions are considered during the current COVID crisis.
