Reflections at Picture Lake

from $34.00

We woke before dawn, the air crisp and quiet, headlights cutting through the mountain darkness as we wound our way up toward Picture Lake. It was one of those mornings when the world feels half-asleep with the forest still, the road empty, the faintest glow hinting that the sun was on its way.

When we arrived, we found ourselves entirely alone. The air was chilly, our breaths visible in the pre-dawn stillness. We sat by the edge of the lake, the faint outline of Mount Shuksan barely visible against the indigo sky. Slowly, as the minutes passed, light crept in: first a soft pink, then golden hues brushing the mountain’s glaciated flanks.

The reflection on the water was absolutely perfect. A mirror of serenity, unbroken from even the slightest breeze. Watching it, I couldn’t help but feel inspired. There’s something humbling about a place like this: a reminder of how stillness can speak volumes, how beauty can exist effortlessly.

Seeing this spot, and this photo, take me back to that morning - the quiet, the chill, the sense of being small beneath something timeless. Picture Lake lives up to its name, not just for its reflection, but for the feeling it captures: serenity in its purest form.

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.
