Roaring Fork Rush
This image was captured on a trip to the Smoky Mountains that featured a LOT of excess water. Normally, Roaring Fork isn’t all that robust, but this time is was really flowing with some serious enthusiasm.
So, we started hiking upstream looking for compositions. We skirted the bank for as long as we could, and then a little wading was required. I discovered this location and really liked the way the water seemed to almost be flowing off a “shelf” in the creek.
Setup was dicey (I need to remember to have my wife take photos when I’m in tough positions so you understand what I’m talking about 
). I had one tripod leg extended to nearly 7 feet and sitting in the creek. The other two were precariously positioned between a couple rocks – and me? I was half squatting half standing on a wet rock with a steep slope right into the creek – perched on a small piece of moss that I hoped with not let go of the boulder!
From this decidedly awkward spot I was able to “massage” the camera into position and get the shot I was after. Thank goodness for wide angle lenses – and sticky moss!
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!

I love the colors that the moss and lichens (their different shades of green) add to the grey colored rocks. The detail is amazing. The glossy and creamy looks of the water flowing in the creek are beautifully captured. You have a great eye for what is beautiful and the skills necessary to capture it and display it for our eyes to enjoy. Thanks Steve!
I love this photo. It looks like a place that fairies would gather.
