1st street gallery was created to preserve and market fine art images created by traditional and historic photographic processes. To us the handmade print, be it silver gelatin, platinum or bromoil, is a unique expression of the artist’s vision. In many of our artist’s images, each one is unique - no two are exactly alike. Newer digital technologies now dominate the photographic market and soon if not already have become the new standard. Handmade black and white and color prints are now considered an alternative process.

At this time, we specialize in the handmade print in silver gelatin, platinum/palladium, gum over platinum, bromoil, wet plate collodion, hand coated silver and the mammoth 20" x 24” Polaroid.

The gallery was created in Boca Raton, Florida in November, 2003.
