Winter Paradise

from $40.00

There is a transformation that happens to Manitou Springs after a heavy snowfall. The historic lines of the town soften, the mountain trails vanish, and the world is muffled under a thick, uniform blanket of white. On this particular morning, the valley was a clean slate.

Launching the drone into that biting winter air felt like breaking a seal. Above, the sky was a piercing, cloudless blue, but at the mid-level of the peaks, the remnants of the storm were still playing among the ridges. I navigated the drone through those lingering, wispy clouds, feeling the scale of the landscape shift as I moved closer to the sheer base of the mountains.

From this vantage point, Pikes Peak isn't just a backdrop; it is an ice-crowned titan. Seeing the peak framed by the fresh snow on the lower slopes - untouched by footprints or tire tracks - realized the vision of a true Winter Paradise.

In the high Rockies, winter is often viewed as a season of endurance, a harsh interval to be survived. But as I looked through the monitor at the sun hitting that pristine white expanse, I was reminded that there is a quiet, staggering beauty found only in the deep cold. It is a reminder that even in the harshest of seasons, the landscape finds a way to be elegant.

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.
