Dragon's Back

185 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Yosemite National Park, California

Yosemite is one of my favorite places to explore and photograph. It's where my passion for hiking exploded two decades ago, it's where I had my first job in the outdoors, and it continues to draw me back across all its spectacular seasons.

I took this photo on a short backpacking trip, one of my favorite pastimes. There is no trail to this location, which allowed me to quickly separate from the thousands of people in Yosemite Valley thousands of feet below and gain a true wilderness experience, just the way I love it! I love exploring unique angles on iconic landmarks, so this area was perfect for me to earn fresh views of Half Dome, Tenaya Canyon, and Yosemite Valley.

As I was walking, crawling, and scrambling around the hillside, this little tree caught my eye. I love stumbling across bonsai-like trees in the wild, because they remind me of my partner's bonsai garden, one of my biggest inspirations. The way the clouds and evening light played with the mountains and the tree was just so special. Using my knowledge as a meteorologist, I knew a couple days in advance that a great sunset was likely here, and was able to plan my trip around watching it from this remote location. It was such a treat, and I'm excited to be able to share it with you in VAST form!

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
