The Story

There’s something magical about fresh snow. It’s like having peace fall from the sky to place everything that’s wrong with the world on hold. Nature’s own pause button. But inside that pause is a living, breathing world, and it exists for what feels like an eternity… within a moment. It’s as if Narnia was a real place. I’m not sure if that makes it easy to understand and difficult to describe, or the other way around. Either way, finding untouched snow in a city that constantly moves can be challenging, especially on Federal Hill.

Waiting for the right moment and showing up was only half the battle this time, as the frigid temps and heavy snowfall made the process especially difficult. While it was pure serenity in front of the camera, it was a mad scramble behind it to keep fingers warm and lenses dry. Thankfully, everything went (mostly) to plan and the first attempt was a success. But I don’t think I took my gloves off for another week after that, which made post production an entirely different challenge.

The Edition

Print is open edition, currently available in the following sizes:

  • Small (image size 8” x 12”)

  • Medium (image size 12” x 18”)

  • Large (image size 16” x 24”)

All open edition prints are signed by the artist.

The Process

My prints are produced with the highest standards in mind. Rather than using traditional photo papers (such as Kodak Endura and Fujicolor Crystal) I’ve opted for premium papers from Hahnemühle and Canson. These fine art papers are Acid Free, contain no OBAs, and are typically 300gsm and higher. Over 20 papers, across 7 different manufacturers, were tested in order to find a select few to work with. Each image is custom-matched to a specific paper in order to produce prints with amazing detail, color, and depth.

All prints are made in-house using genuine archival pigment inks.

Package Includes:

  • Fed Hill By Winter

  • Bonus 4x6 print of a different (open edition) image

  • Story sheet printed on translucent vellum paper

  • Small and Medium prints are packaged in a black presentation box. Large prints are (loosely) rolled into a wide shipping tube.

  • When purchasing a frame with the print (see below), the presentation box / shipping tube is not included. There is a 20% discount on frames when ordered with a print.

Framing and Mounting

Image sizes are the measurements listed above. The total paper size will be 1-inch larger (both width and height) to accommodate a half-inch border on each side. This size difference will only be relevant when framing without a mat, which is not recommended.

Matting/Framing/Mounting is not included in the price of the print; however, you may choose to add professional framing services by selecting the “Mounting And Framing” category at the top of the page. All mounting and framing is done professionally by The Frame Room in Fells Point. There is a 20% discount on frames when ordered with a print.

Whether or not you choose to include a frame at the time of purchase, I highly recommend seeking out a professional framing service. The quality of frames, and especially glass, can vary greatly when purchased retail. Also, care should be taken not to use any mounting materials that may compromise the archival nature of the paper and ink.
