Come Together
Mt. Tamalpais, Marin, California
Mt. Tamalpais has built up quite the reputation among California photographers. It's known as a stunning place to watch the ocean fog flow over the hills and through the trees.
This evening, to most photographers, would be considered a failure, or a "skunk". The fog was lower and further away. When I realized this, I started to drive away to a different location. Not even a minute went by, though, before I noticed this beautiful golden light on the hills, and I just HAD to stop to soak it all in. I couldn't help but notice all the people on the next hill over, just enjoying the sunset. One couple had even set up a full picnic with a table and chairs! Tiny-looking cars made their way up and down the road, lovers held each other's hands, and families pointed in all directions at the fog, sun, and brilliant light.
It was a perfect opportunity for a VAST photo: beautiful golden light that would last just long enough for me to complete the photo process, and so many small, fun details throughout the scene that carry the charm of the experience, and are best enjoyed up close. As is often the case for my VAST photos, I combined images with multiple focus points to ensure maximum detail all the way to the corners for perfect prints!

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
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.
