"Paradise Lost"

no. 20090411_0166

Anza Borrego SP, CA

California's Anza Borrego Desert is particularly known for its special Palm Tree Oases: miniature paradise's amid the otherwise brutally hot and dry landscape. These special places, and the diverse wildflower displays seen here in the spring, are in part possible as a result of the special soil here. The Borrego desert was once a deep valley that over time filled up with washed away nutrient rich sediments from what is now the void of the Grand Canyon. (read blog entry). The species pictured here is the California Fan Palm, the only palm tree native to California.

Fine art archival ink print on Glossy Baryta paper, which features a lightly textured rich and glossy surface. With the print, you will receive a separate signed certificate with information about the print.

Floating Mount, Ready to Hang

With this elegant and affordable mounting option the fine art print is professionally mounted to an eco- friendly HDF wood board and sealed with a special UV laminate, which protects the print and reduces glare. The finished piece hangs half an inch in front of the wall, appearing to float in the air.

Framed Print, Ready to Hang

My framed prints are different from traditional styles, eliminating the need for glass. The fine art print is professionally mounted to a thin eco-friendly HDF wood board and sealed with a special UV laminate, which protects the print and reduces glare. The mounted print is set in a simple and elegant black frame, ready to hang, and enjoy under any lighting conditions.

Deluxe Framed Print, Ready to Hang

My favorite style, similar to the Framed Print above, but with a large deluxe frame (pictured left) that emphasizes the natural beauty of my photographs. Because there is no glass, there is minimal glare, making this option ideal for places with mixed lighting and large windows.

Acrylic-Glass Mounted, Ready to Hang

With this stunning display method, a vibrant metallic fine art print is professionally mounted face-first onto 3/16" museum-grade UV protected and scratch resistant plexiglass. A french-cleat hanging system allows the print to float 1/2" off the wall.
