       Fine Art
           Prints:           Most of Joseph's original images were made with a large format camera
                               resulting in original transparencies or negatives of 4" x 5".  The fine resolution,
                               detail and tonality of the large format transparency or negative cannot be
                               matched by those of a 35mm or medium format camera.  The technical
                               quality is unrivaled. The result is a true fine art print worthy of collection and 
                               display.  Joseph sells his fine art prints to individuals, as well as to corporate,
                               government and environmental organizations.  His photographs have also been
                               displayed in the Museum of Natural History, New York City and in the
                               Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C.
