Scott Rinckenberger

Snoqualmie Pass is the lowest of the major mountain passes crossing the Washington Cascades, yet rising from the modest elevation of the pass are an assortment of jagged, complex peaks, holding endless challenges for the enterprising climber or skier. During much of the prevailing weather of winter, low-lying clouds will slither back and forth across the mountains at pass level, while the peaks above will be found bathed in sun, and perhaps awash with wind, as they were on this cold morning in early January.

While some of the mountains in this image require multiple days to visit, others, such as Bryant Peak, the location of this vista, are feasible as a ‘dawn patrol’ outing. For the uninitiated, this is a practice wherein one can start out from the parking lot under the light of headlamps, break out of the fog with the sunrise, and be on a summit well in time for a quick ski back down, and an arrival at the office well before lunch (and hopefully before the boss takes notice.)

These mornings are invariably uncomfortable in the hard, cold dark of predawn, but ratchet up toward ecstasy as the morning coffee break is replaced by something far more meaningful, and every bit as energizing.

Canvas print

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.

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.
