Roaming the Badlands

from $34.00

The heat in the western North Dakota badlands was absolute and heavy, pushing well over 100 degrees without a hint of a breeze. The air danced in shimmering waves above the cracked, clay ridges of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, baking the rugged landscape into a quiet, sun-baked silence.

I was scanning the desolate terrain, feeling the oppressive weight of the afternoon, when he appeared at the crest of a barren ridge.

He was a wild horse, standing solitary and proud against the brutal elements. Looking at him up there, it was impossible not to feel a direct connection to history. This was the exact, untamed spirit that Theodore Roosevelt himself fell in love with when he came to these rugged lands to heal and reinvent himself.

The moment was incredibly fleeting. He didn't linger long in the open, pausing just long enough to survey his harsh kingdom before turning and running down the far side of the ridgeline, vanishing entirely out of view.

I was incredibly lucky to bring the camera up in time to capture that split second. It stands as a powerful testament to survival and freedom, freezing a piece of the old American West that refuses to be broken by the passage of time or the heat of the summer.

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.
