Late Winter in the Wilderness

from $34.00

By the time most travelers reach the Lake Agnes Tea House, the windows are open, the smell of fresh flour is in the air, and the turquoise water is dotted with reflection. But reaching this alpine cirque in late winter is a different experience entirely.

The lake was just beginning its slow, laborious thaw. A jagged collar of ice and deep snow still clung to the shoreline, and the famous tea house stood silent and shuttered against the elements. There were no crowds, no voices, only the aggressive whistle of the wind whipping off the surrounding peaks and scouring the frozen surface of the water.

It was a harsh environment, but there was a deep sense of privilege in the cold. To see Lake Agnes in this state - halfway between a frozen sleep and a spring awakening - is to see it in a way few others ever do. Most wait for the warmth; I found that the biting wind made the scene feel more earned. This photograph captures that brief, raw window of time where the mountains are still in charge, and the solitude is absolute.

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.
