Watcher of Paradise

Loggerhead Key, Dry Tortugas National Park

Photographic Story.  In the summertime, I primitive-camped for 3 nights and 4 days at Dry Tortugas National Park, located 50 miles off Key West.  In the brutal mid-July heat, I kayaked 3 miles, each way, across the open Atlantic ocean from Fort Jefferson to Loggerhead Key.  I brought along my new underwater housing, and snorkeled around a colorful, pristine reef on the west side of the island.  After hours of shooting over 2500 photographs, and about to give up, I finally captured a perfectly timed under/over image with 2 large tarpon fish, the lighthouse, some nice clouds, the reef (Little Africa), and a calm wave split down the middle.  This was the most exhausting, well planned, and well timed photograph I’ve ever created.

Ultra High Definition Images.  Richard captures his color images using either large-format Fuji Velvia slide film or multi-stitch digital techniques to create photos up to 150 megapixels.  This allows the artist to specialize in mural-size artwork for your home or office in several print formats.

Gallery Canvas Wraps.  Our most popular option.  Ready-to-Hang Gicleé canvas wraps create a contemporary, yet timeless artistic presentation.  Museum-grade canvas is fade resistant for 100 years.  Canvas is stretched over 1.5″ tall wood bars and wired in the back.  Canvas wraps look great in a variety of lighting conditions, with bold, yet natural colors like a painting.

Metal Prints –  This is the latest trend in the photography world, with dyes infused onto a white coated aluminum surface.  The prints have luminescent colors, dark blacks, and a glossy surface for an ultra-modern look.  Choose between float mount, edge mount, or loose print.  Loose metal prints are for collectors that want to insert the print into a traditional frame, whereas float and edge mounts are for a frameless presentation.  These prints are similar to acrylic prints, but are much lighter and more affordable.

Acrylic Prints –  This ultra-contemporary process takes a high-resolution metallic print, and glues the face of the print under a sheet of acrylic.  The finished piece has a dibond backing and aluminum subframe for easy mounting.  Acrylic face-mount prints have beautiful contrast, ultra-dark blacks, and beautiful radiant colors.  If you install spotlights over the piece, they glow off the wall.  Note that these prints need more direct light to look good than other options, but are the ultimate choice for high-end collectors.

Fiber Rag Prints.  Images are printed by the artist on the finest museum grade fiber-rag paper.  These prints have vibrant colors, sharp detail, and a soft reflection.  When mounted under UV glass, no fading or change in image quality will be noticed for 200+ years.  Fiber prints are the best option for collectors who want a classic, framed presentation.  These are loose prints that will require mounting at your local frame shop.
