Portrait photo of David David, a VAST photographer creating extremely high resolution photographs
David David

Arches National Park is a magical place. It was here years ago that I first began to develop my skill in creating Ultra High-Resolution Imagery. On most days the art of Ultra High-Resolution Imagery is an immensely advanced, challenging, and technical photographic discipline. But Arches National Park can sometimes make it “easy.” Easy in that, if all other conditions are favorable, rocks tend not to move. They’re relatively cooperative subjects sitting calmly and quietly while you practice getting better at your craft.

On this particular day in Arches, years after getting those fundamentals of Ultra High-Resolution Imagery nailed down, I was set up in a familiar spot overlooking Delicate Arch. Familiar spot to me, but not to most. Having a propensity for being off-trail has provided me the opportunity to photograph from vantage points generally not utilized by others. And when faced with photographing an icon such as Delicate Arch, it’s always the challenge to see it somehow differently. So, even though I had photographed this very scene several times prior, who knows, today something magical might happen.

Something magical did happen.

I have a friend that has a saying applicable to another arena of life, but I think it can be applied to photography as well. He says, “Just show up!” And sometimes in photography, all you have to do is just show up, and sometimes show up, and show up, and show up, and …

Title Origin. The iconic Delicate Arch acquired its name due to it being precarious in its formation. One day, due to erosion, it may not be with us any longer. But Delicate Arch’s delicateness is nothing like the clouds that temporarily arched the icon this day. I had to work fast, and within minutes, the clouds were gone. One delicate arch gone, another one with us for now to be enjoyed. I initially thought of titling this piece Double Arch, but that name was already taken. Those familiar with Arches National Park will get that.

Thanks ... and thanks again,

David David

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.

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.

Produced using a specialty, large-format fine art printer operating at 300ppi resolution—the gold standard for sharpness
Printed onto heavyweight, 100% acid-free fine art canvas to preserve color-accuracy and longevity
Created using materials and methods that exceed the rigorous technical standards required to achieve the prized "giclée" industry rating
Designed to meet the most demanding standards for color-permanence set by leading museums
Handmade by award-winning master printmakers with over 4 decades of experience
Optionally accompanied by your choice of elegant floater frame available in a variety of trims

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.
