After the Storm

from $34.00

There is a specific kind of silence that follows a San Juan snowstorm. It’s heavy, damp, and carries the scent of frozen aspen leaves. Standing on the Dallas Divide, I watched as the gray ceiling of the storm began to tear at the seams.

Most travelers had already packed their gear and retreated to the warmth of Telluride or Ridgway, assuming the day’s "show" was a washout. But the forecast hinted at a clearing window, and the San Juans have a way of rewarding those who are willing to shiver through the transition.

I waited. For over an hour, the peaks remained a mystery. Then, as if a curtain were being pulled back from a stage, the clouds fractured. Mt. Sneffels emerged, not as the jagged summer peak I knew, but as a ghost draped in a fresh, blinding white shroud. Below, the autumn gold of the aspens vibrated against the blue-shadowed snow - a fleeting collision of two seasons.

After the Storm is a reminder that the landscape rarely gives up its best secrets on command. It requires a bit of meteorological homework, a lot of patience, and the willingness to stand still while the rest of the world moves on.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
