High Country Evenings

from $34.00

The famous peaks get all the names and the crowded trails, but when you look out from the top of the pass at sunset, it is often the quiet, unnamed ridges that steal the show. That was the case as the last light of the day began to wash over the Sawatch Range.

Instead of focusing on the massive 14ers that everyone recognizes, I put on a longer lens and zoomed in on an unnamed mountain tucked quietly between its giant neighbors. It stood there like a hidden fortress, catching the warm evening light on its high, grassy shoulders while patches of summer snow clung tightly to its folds.

Below the ridges, the deep green sea of subalpine forest was already sinking into the evening shadows. Up above, the sky was putting on an absolute clinic. Soft, wispy clouds stretched across the horizon, catching a brilliant, golden orange glow that looked almost like smoke catching fire in the upper atmosphere.

Standing up there in the crisp alpine air, watching the light hit that solitary peak, it felt like discovering a secret. The valleys below were growing cold and dark, but for a few fleeting minutes, this unnamed crest was the center of the world. I pressed the shutter to lock in that exact feeling of high country solitude.

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.
