The entire series can be seen here: http://www.johnacurso.com/The-Pearl-District.html
Most of the photographs in this series are available in 4 different sizes--all are limited editions--as follows :
16x20 inches: limited to 15 prints
20x24 inches: limited to 15 prints
30x40 inches: limited to 5 prints
40x50 inches: limited to 5 prints
(the actual size is based on the actual aspect ratio of the specific image, with the longest side being the constant)
Only one size of any image is generally posted here for sale at any one time, so please notify me through this site's message system, or by email, if you are interested in one of the other sizes.
