Sunrise over Steens Mountain

from $30.00

Steens Mountain and the mud from the Alvord Desert came together for a beautiful sunrise in early April.

That morning was so hard for me to get up and shoot. Why? Well...I stayed in a bunkhouse close by the desert playa and kept having issues getting the door to fully lock. Fast forward into the dead of night when the winds pick up and BOOM I hear a giant slam. I opened my blurry eyes and think to myself that's weird I can see my car and why am I so cold? Was my door haunted...I don't know but holy crap it was loud as it swung wide open I never got the bunk house warm again that night so at about 2 am I hopped in the car and decided to keep it running so I could keep my toes. In my sleepy stuper I set an alarm to shoot sunrise that I most happily hit the snooze on and when I did finally wake it was literally minutes before the light was going to go off. I dashed out onto the playa, found my frozen mudcracks and witnessed some pretty cool light shortly after. This was my favorite moment from that morning.

  • All of my photos are available in 4 of my favorite mediums: Canvas, Paper, Metal, and Acrylic.

  • Paper prints are printed on Fuji Pearl paper which is my absolute favorite paper and has a beautiful glossy shine with incredible depth and contrast that has a pearlescent sheen that is noticed as you move about the picture. 

  • Canvas prints are printed on a thin-wrap canvas which minimizes loss of the edges and is covered with a metallic finish for an extra POP of color!  All canvas prints come read to hang and float a 1/2" off the wall creating a light 3D shadow effect.

  • Metal prints are printed directly on aluminum and are very contrasting with rich colors.  All metal prints come read to hang and float a 1/2" off the wall creating a light 3D shadow effect.

  • Acrylic is my absolute favorite medium to print on and is the grandest way to display my work! Why? It is a metal print encased within 1/4" thick plexiglass that is not only incredibly vibrant and deep in color but also has literal and perceived depth from all viewing angles from that 1/4" thickness.  Acrylic photos come ready to hang with a French cleat attachment.
