House of the Rising Sun

from $34.00

Most people who make the grueling, pre-dawn drive up the winding switchbacks of Haleakala are looking for that postcard-perfect, crystal-clear sunrise. They want to stand above a clean sea of clouds and watch a sharp sun break over the horizon. But the morning I shot House of the Rising Sun, the mountain had a completely different plan.

When I reached the summit, the clouds weren't tucked neatly down in the crater. They were right there with me, swirling at eye level. Instead of a wide-open view, I was treated to this incredible, fast-moving display of atmospheric theater. As the clouds drifted past the peak, they constantly changed the landscape, veiling and unveiling the terrain second by second. I watched a minor peak just below the summit remain completely cast in deep shadow, while the moving fog it caught the very first light of the day, turning brilliant shades of orange and yellow.

It wasn't the sunrise we expected, but honestly, it was so much better. It was unique, moody, and a great reminder of why we do this. In landscape photography, you can't force the weather to match your expectations. You have to be willing to change your perspective on the fly and find the beauty in what you are actually given. That willingness to adapt is exactly how you catch the moments that everyone else misses.

This photograph is perfect for a collector who appreciates the unpredictable, moody side of nature and wants a piece that tells a true story of adventure. If you are looking to build a gallery focused on unique perspectives of iconic locations or the raw elements of the Pacific, House of the Rising Sun brings a beautiful, dynamic energy to a room. Because of the striking contrast between the dark shadows and the warm, glowing clouds, it makes an exceptional focal point for a living area or a home office.

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.
