Mt. Rushmore Sunrise
1,485 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota
Mount Rushmore National Memorial, South Dakota
Mt. Rushmore is one of our country's most iconic treasures memorializing the founding of our country. Symbolizing the ideals of freedom and democracy, it is a tribute to four presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln and their invaluable contributions to the United States.
It took Sculptor John Gutzon de la Mothe Borglum and a team of nearly 400 men working for 14 years to carve the monument, starting October 4, 1927 and completing it on October 31, 1941. During the 14 years of construction not one fatality occurred. Unfortunately, however, many of the workers inhaled silica dust while working on Mount Rushmore, which led them to later die from the lung disease silicosis.
Borglum died just seven months before Mount Rushmore was finished. His son, Lincoln Borglum, finished the project for his father.
It had long been a goal for me to photograph a gigapixel sized image of the presidents. It had been our list for 2020 but Covid put a damper on that plan. This year we made it. I got up around 4am to drive to Mt. Rushmore from our campground. I was the first in the gate when they opened at 5am.

Print only
Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Acrylic glass display
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
