Colorado's Autumn Palette

from $34.00

We are taught from a young age to look forward, to keep our eyes on the horizon and move toward the destination. In landscape photography, that instinct can be a liability. If you only look at what is in front of you, you miss half the story.

This scene was born from a moment of situational awareness. I was driving away from the high peaks after a night of steady, soaking rain. The air was heavy with moisture, and the scent of damp pine needles was thick. Most of the morning had been gray and muted, but as the clouds began to break, the light shifted. I caught a flash of gold in the mirror and decided to pull over and look back.

What I found was Colorado’s Autumn Palette in its most vibrant state. The overnight rain had saturated the colors, turning the aspens into brilliant veins of neon yellow and deep orange that seemed to glow against the stoic, dark evergreens. Low-hanging clouds - remnants of the storm - were draped like silk over the mountainsides, caught in the act of lifting.

The highway, slick and dark from the rain, provides a leading line that pulls the eye upward into that chaotic, beautiful atmosphere. It serves as a reminder: sometimes the most spectacular view isn't where you’re going, but exactly where you’ve been. You just have to be willing to turn around.

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.
