New Offerings
We never offer an image without first printing. Test printing serves a dual purpose; we make
certain the media is appropriate and more importantly we need to like it. We ask ourselves is this an image we'd pay
money for and want to display. If the
answer is yes then we offer it. The past
couple years we've offered the majority of our images on canvas however we're
about to break with that tradition.
We've completed testing a couple images from our Wyoming trip and want to
share the results.
"Fairy Wings".
Is offered in 2-sizes, 11x14 or 16x20 and will be printed on Breathing
Color Vibrance Metallic paper. The cost
of the image is $65.00 for 11x14 and $75.00 for the 16x20. This will be tube rolled and shipped for an
additional cost of $10.00. Overseas
shipping is available at an additional cost, please check with us for pricing.

come so stay tuned. The web gallery will
also be updated shortly to include the above images.

Breathing Color Vibrance Metallic
We've been offering canvas as our primary media for many
years and while we don't intend to stop the practice we have found a new
media. Canvas (Breathing Color Lyve) has
been our canvas of choice while we've offered Breathing Color Vibrance Rag for
those wanting paper media. Breathing
Color introduced "Vibrance Metallic" a couple months ago and it has
been on our "to do" list, however it's been on intergalactic
backorder until now.
Sandy and I just completed 8-weeks shooting in the Jackson
Hole, Glacier Park
and Yellowstone areas and are now back in the
studio processing and test printing images.
I noticed shortly before leaving Jackson
that Breathing Color had a full selection of metallic in stock and quickly
ordered a test roll.
Breathing Color states that Vibrance Metallic offers
"Comparable to the look, feel, and quality of the Kodak metallic
process." Strong words if you ask me.
I've done 4-test prints since getting the test roll and am
blown away with the quality of the prints.
So much so I've just placed and order for a regular roll.
All images were printed on an Epson 9900 following the
suggested setting by Breathing Color and using their ICC which can be
downloaded from their site.
To say that we're pleased with Vibrance Metallic is a slight
understatement.
Stay tuned for more news.

It was difficult deciding on the title for this blog;
we've been in the Jackson Hole area for several weeks visiting both the valley
and Grand Teton and Yellowstone National
Parks. The images in this blog entry
include those from both Parks as well as a ride along the eastern portion of Idaho going north into Montana
and West Yellowstone .

Tonight (Oct.13) we're attending a benefit BBQ hosted by
Jackson Elks Lodge No. 1713. All proceeds raised
will be donated to the local Fire Department/EMS who lost Engine 18 in the
recent Horset hief Canyon
wildfire. Having experienced first hand
that and two other wildfires at the same time during our time here, we
understand the importance of safety and fire fighting equipment. If you're in the area we encourage you to
attend the BBQ, which is open to the public.

The skies are clearing, clouds are moving in with early
temperatures falling. The colors in the
trees are all but gone and there's a general feeling of more change to
come. It seems that Indian Summer is
close by with winter at its heals. Yellowstone will be closing the south entrance November 4th
"depending on weather". All in
all this is a great time to be in the Jackson Hole
area.
