Dragon's Breath
Somewhere Snowy, Rocky Mountain National Park
f/10 | 1/200s | 200mm | ISO 1000
Not even the snowplows were out on this snowy morning as I searched for a good sunrise spot. Unable to predict what the foggy, low-hanging clouds were going to do, I drove back and forth looking for a good composition. Eventually I gave up trying to find the perfect spot and instead focused on actually capturing some images before the light disappeared, Taking a variety of angles and orientations, I hoped one of them would turn out. Fortunately enough, in the editing room, I thought this one had a good balance of elements that also told the story of the scene.
The sun in this scene looks like dragon’s breath to me which was very accurate in the sense of heat and warmth. All the snow you see in this photo was melted by the mid-afternoon as the heat wave swept through.

Print Only
Print Only is by far the cheapest way to have your selection printed. I use the highest quality photo paper with a semi-gloss scratch-resistant finish and UV protectant spray. Each print is signed and numbered on the back and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Canvas Wrap
Price increase - $
Canvas wraps are a popular way to have images displayed. Not only does it give the image pop, but it also adds a unique canvas texture that makes the image look like a work of art. In this format, the image is directly printed on a canvas that is then stretched over a wooden frame. The edges of the image are mirrored onto the sides of the canvas, so no part of the image is lost in the wrap. It comes ready to mount with a French cleat hanging system.
Professional Mount
Only available in 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20, these images come ready to hang or frame. They are composed of the image mounted to a thin piece of wood with a beveled edge that is then attached to a mat board. This product also includes an image description and artist information printed on the back. (No hanging system included)
Metal Print
Price increase - $$$
This format features a dye-sublimation ink transfer to a 1/16” sheet of aluminum. Printing in this style adds extra depth, clarity, and richness of color to the print. It also adds a super gloss finish to the image that makes it stand out when viewed from any angle.
The product comes ready to hang with a concealed French cleat hanger to give a floating effect when mounted on a wall.
Wood Mount
Price increase - $
In this format, the image is printed on the highest-quality photo paper with a UV protecting semi-gloss finish. The image is then mounted to a 3/8” thick piece of wood that is beveled on the edges. It is finished off with being attached to a 3/4” thick hidden French cleat hanging system. This format gives the art dimension as it makes it look like the photo is floating off the wall.
