I am so excited about this print!  A few weeks ago, I was asked to create a print for a client who was doing some home redecorating.  They wanted a very large print of an image from my collection and decided on image of star trails that I’d shot a couple of years ago in Lake Tahoe.  The original image can be seen here.  The image is an hour-long exposure looking up as the earth rotates and stars make trails across the night sky.  As you can see, the print is huge (literally, the only reason I’m in the picture is to provide a sense of scale).  Five feet tall, actually.  And 40 inches wide.  And on METAL: That is the best part!  The print is on aluminum, which gives it incredible visual appeal.  Prints on metal take on this luminescent quality that can only be fully appreciated in person, in my opinion.  The colors seem more brilliant and vibrant.  It’s almost like the prints become somewhere between 2D and 3D.  I also love that the print comes ready to hang!  I would love to make more metallic prints for anyone who wants one…but I might have to get myself one first!!!  If you’re also curious, drop me a line.

    All right – details are needed: where did you order it from, and which option did you choose? This looks amazing!

I have done a lot of prints for clients over the past couple years, but it has been about that long since I bought a print to hang on my walls.  This week, I received a big one.  On a canvas that is 30″ wide and 45″ tall (the image below shows the print sitting in my office chair).   A picture of a picture can’t ever do justice, but the original image can be seen in a recent post on my trip to Zermatt.  And it came from a compact camera: the Panasonic GF-1.  You may have seen or heard me raving about this camera before.  I do love it.  I can take it just about anywhere without needing a neck massage at the end of the day, its low light capability is amazing for a camera of its size (thanks to a very large sensor and a super fast lens), the images I got are nearly as good as what my DSLR could produce, and it has a great feel.  But a very important final test for me was how it stood up to large printing.  I couldn’t be more pleased.

This week, for the first time, I saw one of my sold pieces hanging on someone’s wall.  I really love the piece, which can be seen in full here (before I divided it into a triptych for this client).  It’s about 9 feet wide and almost 3 feet tall.  I was so proud and happy to see it that I took about 100 pictures of it.  Its really surprising how challenging it seemed to get a good image of an image.  I am not sure that I’ve done it justice, but it looked great on the wall, and I was really lucky to get to take a look at it yesterday.
