Grotto Falls From Below
Sometimes a shot comes easy, sometimes you have to get a little dirty to do the job – that’s what happened for this shot.
Grotto Falls is off the Roaring Fork Motor Trail in the Smoky Mountains, and although it’s about a mile or so uphill, it’s really not that bad to get to the falls. However, I noticed that down a very steep, very muddy hill, there might be a better photo to be had.
So, I carefully picked my way down and over the edge of what amounted to a muddy 15 foot cliff. Of course, once I got there I realized the best shot was – you guessed it – out in the creek. I didn’t want to flood what was now my last pair of hiking shoes, so I waded in barefoot (it was COLD) and shot over the top of a down tree that had fallen across the creek.
I’ve never seen a shot of Grotto Falls quite like this one, so hopefully it was worth the effort 
Despite the challenges, I sure enjoyed shooting it
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!
