The Story

No matter how many spring, summer, fall, and winter seasons go by, the transformation between them will forever be fascinating. There’s always something new and different to discover, as no two transitions are ever alike. Sometimes, however, it’s not just a season itself that produces enchantment, but what is revealed that the previous season obscured.

This composition was originally the subject of another image, “Dirge For November”, which came about on an overcast, autumn day. I liked the picture well enough to make a few prints, but something about it always felt incomplete… like a story of unrealized potential.

Fast forward to a snowy day in March and suddenly it all made sense. Everything from the sparseness of the background to the melted snow on the sculpture; winter revealed something that autumn (beautifully) concealed. And when the frost is gone and the sun returns, the season will change again. I wonder what it’ll look like then.

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:

• A Change Of Seasons

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

• Story sheet printed on translucent vellum paper

• Limited Edition prints include an embossed Certificate of Authenticity

• 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.
