The Story

It would be a romantic idea to think that I just happened across this scene, already in motion, and merely pointed the camera. The reality is that I waited, in the snow, for over an hour before it all came together. An hour doesn’t seem like a long time in the grand scheme of things. And in the grand scheme of things, it’s not. But when it’s cold, and you have other things to do, and you could probably be taking other photos instead of just waiting, an hour is more than enough time to second guess your decisions. And second guessing your decisions can make an hour feel like eternity.

The thing is, I don’t recall second guessing myself all that much during this hour. There was a reason I sat there, in the cold, waiting… because I knew from the first moment that there was potential here to be realized. It didn’t seem like a matter of if, but when. And since that was the case, it meant that the only barrier to overcome was an internal one. One of self doubt, one of second guessing, one of impatience. This image is about overcoming those barriers and not letting your demons win. And it’s for this reason that I dedicate it to them.

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:

• For My Demons

• 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.
