Print of the Week

This week’s Print of the Week is a little more abstract. Although I’ll often make images of trees with pin-sharp leaves, on this day the wind just wouldn’t let up and I was forced to think outside the box. Instead of waiting forever for the wind to die down for a few seconds, I worked with it and created this breezy image of a maple tree being blown about by the October winds. A long exposure blurred the tall grass surrounding the tree, turning it into a swath of soft green coloring, while the colorful foliage became more like quick red brush strokes in a watercolor. But the tree trunks remain still and sharp.

The goal of all my photography is to see each image in print. If you think an image looks good on Instagram or in a Facebook post, wait until you’ve seen it professionally printed on fine art paper. For this reason, each week I’m featuring a special print at a discounted price– often $100 off the regular price– for just one week only. This open edition print is made by me personally in my studio, on archival rag paper, using pigment-based inks rated to last a lifetime. Each print is then hand signed and shipped FREE to any address in the US (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). Unfortunately, because of high customs fees and import taxes, I cannot ship the Print of the Week to any address outside the US.

The image size is 14 inches on the longest side, with white borders bringing the paper size to 11x15 inches. The watermark at the bottom of the image will not be on your final print.

Your print will be shipped to you rolled in a tube. I recommend framing your print with a frame that fits your own decor and style. A 16x20 inch frame would fit the print perfectly, with the addition of a mat around the print, which is often included in when you purchase a frame. Also, any framing store would be able to cut a mat and frame the print for you.
