I traveled with a friend up to Stacyville, Maine on March 12, 2017 to shoot some winter panoramas. At sunrise the temperature was -1°F with wind gusts up 30mph and the windchill was about -20°F, so it took great care when handling tripods and panning heads to not expose any fingers or bare skin, even with carbon fiber tripod legs. We discovered this old barn called Summit Farm while driving around and the landowner gave us permission to climb the hill behind it and photograph it. The barn is the sole surviving structure of a ghost town in Maine called Davidson, founded in 1901. There used to be a train station, general store, dance/movie hall, two boarding homes, a schoolhouse, clothespin factory, lumber mill, barbershop, blacksmith shop, dairy, several homes, and even wooden sidewalks. All that remains now are a few foundations and the barn. The farmer didn’t know the year the farm was built, but likely in the late 1800s. He took us inside and showed us the unique ship beams used to construct it.

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.
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.
