Know what I really love about Valley Of Fire State Park in Nevada?

Everything!

The wild sandstone in found throughout the park can make for some pretty cool images, and one of the sweetest areas to shoot is the “Fire Wave”.

The fire wave is located in an area full of twisted, rolling sandstone and it was an area we wanted to photograph that evening. I’d been there once before with no success, but I’m nothing if not persistant!

We arrived at the Fire Wave about an hour or so before sunset and I quickly started looking for cool compositions. I played with a variety of different spots at the “normal” place where everyone like to photograph, but I just couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted.

Since I had time, I wandered around a bit and was intrigued with the area you see in the photo above – and it had the added benefit of having more going on with the clouds too. I decided to setup and give it a go.

Time slipped by as I enjoyed the sunset – crossing my fingers for some light in the sky – then it finally happend! The sun skimmed the rocks and lit the clouds above! Snap! Got it!

Hope you enjoy it too :)

About Our Prints....

We currently sell both individual prints and completely framed and ready-to-hang prints. Our framed prints are professionally matted, mounted and framed.

Here's a sample of our basic mat and frame:

Framed prints purchased though us are generally a better deal than taking a loose print to your local frame shop since we have a pretty significant discount that we pass along to you. When you receive your print in the mail, it's ready to hang and even comes with the hardware for doing so.

Please note that if you'd like another type of print (canvas for example) or another frame style, we can certainly accommodate you, just use the contact us page and we'll customize the artwork to make it perfect for your home.


Warranty

Our framed prints are guaranteed for as long as you own them against wear, fading, or deterioration. Loose prints are also guaranteed for as long as you own them provided you have them framed under glass using archival materials. We want you to LOVE your prints, so we offer a refund as long as the print or framed print is returned in like new condition within 30 days.


Signature

All prints are signed in one of the lower corners (usually the right hand corner).


Delivery

Delivery time varies and depends on a number of factors, but we always strive to get your prints delivered to you as quickly as possible. I personally inspect each and every piece before it leaves our building. If I'm out of town taking more photos, it can cause a delay, but a good rule of thumb is that a loose print will ship within 2 weeks and a framed print within 3 weeks. That time is significantly shorter if I'm in town at the time the order is placed. If you need a print done by a certain date, you can contact me and I'll be happy to give you an estimated delivery date.


Discounts

We are now offering quantity discounts if you are interested in two or more pieces. Simply contact me with the sizes and names of the images you are interested in and I will be happy to get you a quote. The more pieces you order, the better the discount.

Thanks for your interest!
