The Winding Snake

from $34.00

It was an August afternoon at Snake River Overlook, and the air carried the soft weight of summer smoke drifting in from distant wildfires. The haze cast the Tetons in a muted blue, their jagged silhouettes barely cutting through the smoky veil. Still, they stood proud and unwavering - stoic as ever - rising from a sea of evergreens that filled the valley like an unbroken tide.

The Snake River curved its way silently through the forest below, gleaming in fragments where the sun broke through. Overhead, a sky of pale blue was painted with wandering soft and wispy clouds.

As I stood at the overlook, I couldn’t help but think of Ansel Adams - how he once stood here with his camera pointed west, capturing a moment that would etch this very view into the heart of American landscape photography. His photo was crisp, the mountains sharp against the sky. Mine was different. Softer. More subdued. The trees were certainly taller and filled more of the frame. But no less powerful in its quiet beauty.

There was something timeless about standing there, camera in hand, watching the layers of light and shadow drift across the valley. It was a moment wrapped in gratitude - grateful to witness a place so iconic, and yet, to feel it anew in my own way.

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.
