Because prints are very fragile, they shouldn't be stored in the tube for extended periods of time. Make sure to open the package within 24-48 hrs of receiving it and take it to a professional framer as soon as possible for opening and archival dry mounting. Handling your large print yourself could result in wrinkles or tears. In the unlikely event of damage, please see policy HERE.
FRAMING: It is not uncommon for prints to have a strong curl to them when first unrolled. Discuss with your professional framer about dry-mounting your print, using archival materials only, to ensure it will remain flat once framed.
PLACEMENT: All artworks should not be placed in direct sunlight to avoid any fading over time.

ABOUT THE PIECE
GREAT DIVIDE BASIN, WYOMING 2013
This piece was originally a commission for repeat collectors. They requested something that embodied their own family bond and represented their hard work together, as a family. I am honored the large 50 x 75 piece hangs in the entry way of their establishment, as a symbol of strength, and a sign of welcome to their clients.
I am often asked “how do you get such tight, sharp images”? While part of the answer is technical, when it comes to wild horses it is most certainly much more about timing and feel. If you can’t “feel” the horses spirit and intent you’ll never catch the shot. In a more controlled and contrived environment, maybe, but definitely not in “in the wild”.
.
This family literally rose over an embankment out of nowhere, we startled each other good. The stallion was considering fleeing, and I could tell the younger horse in the back was going to come forth with Mom and Dad to see what the situation was. Had I been aggressive about getting the shot, or moved, or sneezed for that matter, the horses, and the shot would have vanished into thin air.
Many great shots vanish with wild horses, it's the nature to survive that controls the scene, every time. While that can be disheartening, it's part of the job and part of the lessons they share with me. Stay present and alert, with a soft heart and much like their manes in the wind, I must go with the flow.
