Print of the Week

Wild blueberry bushes grow on the thickly forested hills near the summit of a misty Bernard Mountain on Mount Desert Island’s “quiet side.”

I hiked this trail for the first time ever back in June, and quickly realized that it would look stunning on a misty day, when the fog swirled around the tall pines and gave the location some heightened atmosphere. I didn't have to wait for long... in October, I noticed the conditions were right for some fog up in the hills, so I hiked it again on a cool afternoon. I spent over two hours here making several images, including some beautiful wide panoramas. This is one of the more colorful ones, with an isolated patch of wild blueberry bushes out in force, set against the backdrop of the mist shrouded pines.

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.
