Visually reach out and feel the texture of the moss, the ferns and leaves. Imagine the fresh smell of the forest, now close your eyes and listen. It's all there, let your senses try and take it all in.
With 12-14 feet of rain annually and trees up to 1000 years old, the Hoh Rainforest is a prime example of what an intact temperate rainforest is, its also the most green place I've ever seen, so many hues its incredible.
You almost feel the need to whisper there, like you are in an ancient library and you are afraid to get hushed by the librarian. The sounds are already softened by the lush vegetation so no need to whisper.
When I made this image it was absolutely calm, not even a hint of a breeze. Usually in the Hoh Valley there is an onshore wind from the coast and or a drizzle from the nearly ever present fog which definitely adds to the charm but makes it pretty tough to create images this large. Ive wandered through the Hoh dozens of times over the years and every time it's so different. A giant tree may have fallen, the stream could have changed its course or things just simply grow. It's the reason I continue to go back, I just don't know what has change since the last time I was there and I want to see 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.
