We don’t often get to view our large scale photographic print installations, but we were fortunate enough to get these shots sent to us by a client of ours from one of our installations which is currently underway. I wanted to take this opportunity to share these photographs with you.

This one is 12 feet high by more than 55 feet long!!!

Stay tuned – when the project is complete we should be able to show you what the finished installation looks like!!

Just returned from one of my “almost” annual trips to Texas. This wasn’t the best year for flowers  (though the spring display of flowers is incredible even in a bad year) so I devoted more time to exploring the Hill Country that Texas is so famous for. Here are a few images from this trip and below the WordPress gallery be sure to check out the link to one of my Texas portfolios. Enjoy!

What a way to spend a day!!

Recently, while working on our upcoming book Treasures Untold, Paul Kingsbury and I visited this waterfall in middle Tennessee.  In my book, I will share photographs from some of my favorite spots in Tennessee.

Over the next year in addition to my regular blogging I am going to be introducing some image portfolios and impressions based on my photographic travels. The first of these is going to be the Southeast. I was raised in Meridian, Mississippi and began seriously photographing while living in Tennessee. I am intimately familiar with the south so it is only natural that I start this photographic journey here.

The Southeastern US is a land of incredible contrast and such amazing variety. From the beaches and swamps of Florida to the Smoky Mounatins and the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. Swamps, ancient mountains, rolling hills, deep green pine forests, and mysterious swamps are the just a few of this regions most distinctive features . Through the years I have followed my heart to explore and photograph places I was drawn to all over the area. Some of the spots have become so special to me that I return to them over and over again year after year. It was difficult to decide which images to share since I have so many to choose from. I settled on selecting images that I felt reflected some of the varied aspects of nature in the southeast. Here is a link to a portfolio of images:

Today I printed a 40×60 gallery wrapped canvas print of this image for a client. It has been a popular abstract With my clients and is one of my  personal favorites. So I wanted to take a few minutes to share it with you. Visualizing a deeply three dimensional scene such as this as a two dimensional abstract photograph is exciting to me. Then composing and creating the image and finally to see it output as a massive print to share with others is thrilling! I created this image while hiking at the bottom of a gorge in Big South Fork National Recreation area in Tennessee.

There is a growing trend in a large number of the installations that feature our work to choose gallery wrapped canvas prints over frames. They look fantastic in a wide variety of settings. They are lightweight and easy to hang. The image is digitally extended and wrapped around the stretcher bars which gives the photograph more “presence” on the wall. Since the wrap is done by digitally extending the image area there is no cropping into the photograph. Often the cost is less than a similar size print that is matted and framed. Gallery wrapped canvas prints also work in a wide variety of settings, both modern and more traditional.

The colors in our canvas prints are true to the original image. They are archival with a life span of over 100 years. We UV coat all of our canvas prints which adds to the already impressive life span and gives a rich finish to the canvas. The coating is water resistant and they can be dusted with a soft cloth. Don’t use dust sprays on them, however.

Above is a close up example of a corner and edges so that you can see how they look finished out.
