Mountain Layers at Sundown

from $90.00

There is a specific perspective that only the summit of Whiteface can provide. As the fifth-highest peak in the Adirondacks, it stands slightly apart from the rest of the Great Range, offering a vantage point that feels less like standing on a mountain and more like standing on the edge of a vast, petrified ocean.

On this autumn evening, the air was surprisingly still. The usual summit gales had softened into a cool, steady breeze that carried the scent of drying pine needles from the valleys far below. As the sun began its descent in the west, the sky took on a thick, yellowish glow, a warm, hazy light that seemed to suspend the world in amber. It was the "Golden Hour" in its most literal sense.

I looked out over the horizon and watched as the Adirondacks revealed their true depth. Layer upon layer of hazy blue and grey ridges stretched toward the sunset, each one a little softer, a little more ghostly than the last. In the quiet of the high peak, the sheer scale of the wilderness was overwhelming.

The Adirondacks have always held a sacred place in my heart, but it is moments like these that solidify that bond. Seeing the endless geometry of the mountain layers, knowing the miles of rugged trail and hidden water that lie between each one, only deepens my respect for this landscape. Mountain Layers at Sundown isn't just a study of light and distance; it is a portrait of the place I feel most at home. It’s a reminder that no matter how many times you stand on these summits, the mountains always have a new way to make you fall in love with them all over again.

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.
