Double Falls

from $40.00

The Columbia River Gorge is the kind of place that only reveals its secrets when the weather turns moody. On a cloudy afternoon, when the light is flat and the colors of the forest are allowed to breathe without the harsh glare of the sun, the whole gorge takes on a quiet, almost prehistoric feeling. We spent hours that day just driving and exploring the side roads, looking for something that felt different than the usual roadside attractions. I eventually found this hidden spot where two separate falls drop into the same drainage, tucked away behind a thick curtain of classic Pacific Northwest evergreens.

I knew a ground-level shot wouldn't do justice to the geometry of the scene, so I sent the drone up and hovered directly over the canopy. Looking straight down changed everything. From that top-down perspective, you can see the way the two falls interact with the landscape, framed perfectly by the dark greens of the firs and the occasional pop of yellow and orange from the fall foliage. It turns a landscape into a tapestry of textures. The white water looks like veins running through the forest floor, and the symmetry of the double drops creates a visual balance that you just don't see from the road.

There is a deep satisfaction in finding a perspective that feels entirely new in a place as well-traveled as the Gorge. It’s a reminder that even the most famous regions still have hidden corners if you’re willing to look at them from a different angle.

This image is perfect for a collector who appreciates the intersection of nature and abstract design. If you have a modern living space or a professional office that needs a clean, sophisticated focal point, the vertical "bird’s eye" composition of Double Falls provides a unique sense of depth without being overwhelming. It is an ideal addition to a gallery focused on the Pacific Northwest or for someone who wants to showcase the hidden, more intimate side of the Columbia River Gorge. This piece belongs on the wall of a buyer who values a fresh perspective and wants a daily reminder of the quiet, complex beauty that sits just out of sight from the main road.

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.
