Although I'd studied up on it, this was my first attempt at a multi-image panoramic photograph. My wife and I have truly enjoyed "cruising" since about 2000, as long as it involves the quiet waters of Alaska's "Inside Passage". One of our trips in 2010 took us into Galcier Bay National Park. As we slowly approached the end of Tarr Inlet I was struck by the massive walls of ice as the Margerie Glacier and Grand Pacific Glacier extended so far into the waters they almost touched. (Sadly, I don't have any decent photos from that trip.) On our return trip in 2013, I was shocked and distressed at how much the galciers had receeded. The rocks of the shoreline were actually visible on either side. I decided I'd do my best to capture this glacier before it disappeared altogether. With my telephoto lens extended to its max, I shot from one side to the other in about 20 overlapping images. These I later reassembled manually in an editing software.
Available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print
This print is 36" x 4" in a black-on-black mat, framed in solid Black Walnut. Having only produced four copies of this print to date, this print is a very limited edition. I have produced a 60" x 6.5" print, but have not finished the framing. If you're interested in the larger version, please let me know.

All prints are available as a Handcrafted Custom Framed Print - I love building custom orders!
Any print can be combined with a handcrafted, custom hardwood frame with or without a companion mat board.
Pictured are three styles of handcrafted moulding I currently produce, but I'm always open to new ideas and always working on my own new framing concepts.
Art Deco Mahogany: Any species of wood with the rough bark left intact on the sides. I add Art Deco corner devices, and a high-gloss Mahogany finish. A unique contrast between the rough bark and the high-gloss finish for an intriguing presentation.
Art Deco Cherry w/Black Walnut: These frames are made from Cherry, which darkens over time, and uses Art Deco corner devices made of Black Walnut in varying arrangements.
Black Walnut: This Black Walnut moulding is clean, elegant and minimal, setting off the artwork nicely.
Although printed mat boards are one of my trademarks, the mat board may also be clear of imagery and in its pristene condition.
Finally, I use anti-reflective, UV-resistent, museum-quality glass or acrylic to cover and protect my prints.
