Image Story
When spring turns to summer in the month of June, lakes like Moraine Lake begin to unthaw and showcase their amazing turquoise colors. When I shot this, I was on a massive week-long road trip up the Canadian Rockies to my final destination of Hyder, Alaska. However, this photo was the highlight of the week photography-wise. I had driven in from Seattle the night before, getting in at 1:30 a.m. As sunrise in the summer is very early in the north, I set my alarm for 3 a.m. I nearly decided to sleep in and try my luck the next day. But with limited time, I made myself get up and drive the hour or so from Banff townsite to Moraine Lake. Boy am I glad I did! The sunrise at Moraine Lake on the morning I shot this was out of this world! Beautiful pastel-like pink lit up the sky above that turquoise blue water at this famous Canadian Rockies spot. The next morning I visited again and the temperature was 35 degrees lower with full dreary cloud-cover. It made me very glad I went without that sleep to capture this sunrise!

Lumachrome TruLife Acrlic Prints (Ready to Hang)
If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then a Lumachrome TruLife acrylic piece of fine art is the de facto standard! There is nothing better in the fine art photography printing industry than Lumachrome prints. Lumachrome’s are created by face-mounting a photographic print of your image behind crystal clear acrylic glass. Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic. The final product is finished with an Italian made ROMA recessed float mount that allows for easy hanging without the need of an external frame creating a modern gallery look that is perfect for any home or office.
ROMA Tabacchino Framed Lumachrome (Ready to Hang)
If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then a Lumachrome HD acrylic piece of fine art is the de facto standard! There is nothing better in the fine art photography printing industry than Lumachrome prints.

Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic.

Gallery Plaque Mount Prints (Ready to Hang)
Both elegant and modern in feeling, gallery plaque mount prints are a beautiful addition to my print medium options. Printed on a glossy surface, they are mounted to MDF board and beleved with a black edge. A mini backing is added to the board, allowing the print to float off the wall.
Larson-Juhl Framed Plaque Prints (Ready to Hang)
While gallery plaque mounts are ready to hang as-is, adding a Larson-Juhl frame to a plaque mount creates a touch of elegance to the artwork and makes it really stand out with a unique approach to framed art. The plaque mount sits on a bottom stacked second solid-black plaque, creating a couple of inches of open space between the print and the frame. The result is a piece of art both luxurious and modern! Choose from dozens of Larson-Juhl frame types by contacting me or select one of the popular choices in the options above!
Chromaluxe Metal Prints (Ready to Hang)
Using a method called dye sublimation, Chromaluxe is my choice for metal prints. Chromaluxe metal prints are created by taking an archival fine art print and infusing it into an aluminum sheet, creating a much more durable and visually stunning product than printing directly to aluminum like other metal print methods. Surprisingly light-weight, Chromaluxe metal prints are resistant to scratching while having that shiny, high gloss look that makes an image pop!
Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl Prints
Do you want a high quality print, but plan to frame and matt the print yourself? Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl prints are the way to go then! Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl prints come mounted onto 2mm styrene to protect them until you have time to get them framed. Available in sizes up to 36" wide.
