If like me, you grew up living on the high prairies, you have probably experienced the magical moments that occur the last 10 minutes before sunset. The air cools, the wind calms and a special silence puts a hush on the day's activities. For me as a teenager being alone somewhere out in the prairie was a time that I first began to connect with my Maker.
I have always wanted to capture one of those moments in a photo and this one I did at Ft. Robinson, NE comes the closest I have done to date of achieving that goal. I shoot this in the last few minutes before the sun sat on July 3, 2022. A herd of Longhorn steers peacefully graze in the distance along with a few Pronghorns. Horses also are grazing, resting from a days work. The sun's golden light illuminates the prairie grasses with a golden hue. A Meadow Lark sits on a fence post singing praises to the Lord.

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.
