November Frost on the Sawtooths

from $34.00

We had camped deep in the Sawtooths, tucked into a valley that felt miles from anything, which, in truth, it was. The night before, we sat bundled around a small fire, the flames flickering and trying their best against the ten-degree air. Our breath came out in clouds, and the crackle of wood was the only sound in a world gone still. It was cold, sharp, and beautiful.

We had sunrise plans, of course - grand visions of pink light kissing snow-dusted peaks. But when we woke up the next morning, the valley was blanketed in fog so thick we could hardly see the trees. The light never broke through. It was quiet in a different way now - a soft, white silence filled with frost. Our plans faded with the view.

So we drove into Stanley, seeking warmth and a hot breakfast. The town was sleepy, but the coffee was strong, and that alone made it worth the detour.

By the time we returned to our campsite later in the morning, the landscape had transformed. The fog had lifted, revealing mountains lightly dusted with snow, the trees and grasses glazed in frost. The pale blue sky stretched wide overhead, and delicate clouds drifted slowly along the valley floor, as if reluctant to leave.

It wasn’t the sunrise I had planned for, but it was something better - unexpected, serene, and fleeting. The kind of moment that asks nothing of you but to pause and notice.

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.
