Forever Wild

from $90.00

The morning air atop Mt. Jo was sharp and clean, the kind that fills your lungs and makes you feel more alive with every breath. As the first light crept over the High Peaks, the valley below burst into flame - not of fire, but of color. Every ridge and fold of forest, from Heart Lake to the far reaches of the valley, was ablaze in peak autumn foliage: golds, crimsons, and oranges glowing beneath a pale blue sky.

Above it all rose the giants - Algonquin, Wright, Wallface, and Marcy - dusted with fresh snow, their summits catching the morning light like ancient giants watching over the land. The contrast was striking: fall at full blaze below, winter knocking at the peaks above. It was a perfect Adirondack moment.

The photo I took here, I titled Forever Wild. And not just because of the view.

New York’s constitution protects these mountains with those very words: “forever wild.” It’s a promise written into law over a century ago, declaring that these forests, lakes, and peaks shall remain untouched by industry, preserved for all who seek their solace. It’s a bold idea, that wilderness has value simply because it is wild. And looking out at this panorama, I couldn’t be more grateful for it.

This place is home to me - not just geographically, but spiritually. These mountains kickstarted my photography journey, steadied me, challenged me. And as wild places across the country disappear, this view reminds me why it matters that some remain. Untamed. Unspoiled. Forever.

Let’s never forget that “forever wild” isn’t just a law. It’s a responsibility. And a gift.

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.
