The Lonely Mountain

from $34.00

Late summer on Wilkerson Pass feels like standing on the edge of something vast. I was traveling east that afternoon, looking out toward Pikes Peak rising in the distance, its broad shoulders softened by the haze of a warm day. The sky above was a deep, endless blue - clear and calm, stretching over the South Park valley like a quiet promise.

In the foreground, dry grasses waved gently in the breeze, golden and light, as if they were dancing to music only the wind could hear. They moved with such grace, catching the sun just enough to shimmer in flashes with flickers of gold against the soft, earthy tones of the hillside.

Far beyond, the mountain ranges layered themselves into the distance, each one a slightly fainter shade of blue than the last. Pikes Peak stood among them - recognizable by its height - its silhouette both iconic and gentle through the veil of summer haze.

There were no crowds. No sound but the wind. Just open space, high air, and the simple movement of grass under a sky too big to measure.

As I stood behind the camera, I realized that scenes like this speak in stillness, in subtle movement, in the rhythm of late summer light. They ask nothing but your attention, and in return, they offer a quiet kind of wonder. This image isn’t just about the lonely mountain in the distance - it’s about everything between here and there. The air. The silence. The dance of the grasses, holding onto summer just a little longer.

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.
