About Us

Mission Statement: To produce unique, elegant high quality photographic note and greeting cards that express your personal feelings toward those you cherish.

Shirt Off My Back offers a line of unique and elegant greeting and note cards featuring the photography of Mary Colclough of Rochester, NY. Mary has loved photograph and nature most of her life and has now put those loves into this line of beautiful cards.

The photographs were taken in many different places in the Eastern US and the Caribbean Islands. Mary places special emphasis on photographs of tropical shirts because they are so ubiquitous, varied and cheerful. She has acquired a photographic collection of over 1800, and growing, different shirts. "It's hard to be sad or cross when wearing a tropical shirt" she says. Her nature photography also expresses her joy in the natural world around her.

These cards are of 100% recycled paper, printed with soy-based inks. The cards plant is run on wind-generated electricity so the cards are quite environmentally responsible.

In these collections you are sure to find many images that delight you. The samples shown are representatives of the vast collection Mary has.
