Northwoods Floods

from $34.00

The first day of any photography trip is usually filled with a mix of anticipation and a bit of nerves, but our arrival in Minnesota was something else entirely. We pulled in just twenty-four hours after a series of historic storms had dumped a massive amount of rain across the region. The news was full of reports about flash flooding and washed-out roads, and when we finally reached the first river on our itinerary, it was clear the headlines weren't exaggerating.

Standing on a bridge overlooking the channel, I was struck by the sheer violence of the water. This wasn't the clear, gentle stream I had pictured in my head while planning the trip. Instead, the river was a thick, churning brown, heavy with silt and debris. It had completely jumped its banks, swallowing up the brush and rushing downstream toward Lake Superior with a speed that felt genuinely intimidating. In the distance, you can see the white blur of the water spilling over a dam, a ghostly contrast to the dark, muddy surge in the foreground. It was a visceral reminder that for all the beauty we find in the Northwoods, nature is ultimately in control. There was no peaceful bubbling here, just the raw, unbridled power of a landscape being reshaped in real time.

This image is perfect for the person who respects the more intense, untamed side of the natural world. If you are looking for a piece that brings a sense of energy and movement into a room, Northwoods Floods is a strong choice. It’s a great fit for a gallery focused on the elements or for someone who wants a conversation starter that moves beyond the typical "pretty" landscape. Because of its scale and the story behind it, this photo belongs in a space where it can remind you of the strength of the wild, making it a perfect addition for a cabin or a home office where you want a piece that feels as powerful as the story it tells.

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.
