Secret Cove, Lake Tahoe
A dance of turquoise ripples beckons the brave towards the waterline. The awe-inspiring clarity of the water tempts the adventurous to dive into its biting embrace, to feel the coolness, to feel one’s stress melt away, and to emerge exhilarated. True to its name, Secret Cove feels like a hidden gem where nature’s vivid palette and serene calm create a sanctuary. It’s one of those exceptional places where one can pause, reflect, and appreciate the simplicity and grandeur found in nature's landscapes.The experience, however, is only for those daring enough to take the plunge.
My intent, when I went to photograph Secret Cove on this day, was to create an image with a harmonious balance between the calm water, rugged rocks, and distant mountains. I also wanted to create a feeling of completeness and peace. In art, the feeling of peace and harmony is, in large part, created by a sense of balance in the artwork. Secret Cove lends itself to this because the landscape is so naturally balanced to begin with. The peninsulas on either side of the cove extend almost an identical distance out into the water creating a perfect natural balance as they embrace the exquisitely colored water of the inlet. The mountains in the background further enhance the framing of the subject and increase the sense of completeness.
LIMITED EDITION OF 50
Limited edition refers to the maximum number of copies of the photograph that will ever
be printed. The most I will print of any photo is 50, with a caveat, and that is that I sell
all my prints in 8 X 10, 11 X 14 and 12x18 sizes without limitation. I believe that all people,
regardless of their income level, should have access to affordable art.

PRINT TYPES
Fujiflex Crystal Archive Acrylic Fine Art Prints
All our acrylic prints come with either a gloss or luster finish. Gloss provides amazing color depth and luminosity while luster approaches this level of brilliance but with less reflection if there is a strong side-light close to the artwork. Acrylic is the most brilliant finish for landscape photography and it approaches a 3-D appearance. Acrylic prints are ideal in locations with low natural light and good directional light from above. The acrylic print characteristics of archival quality, image brilliance, and durability makes it an excellent choice.
Chromalux Metal Fine Art Prints
Metal is an excellent finish for landscapes and approaches the brilliance of acrylic prints but with the ability to clean it with glass cleaner and a paper towel without any adverse effects. Metal is also much lighter than acrylic and, therefore is much easier to hang. All our metal prints come with either a gloss or luster finish. Gloss provides amazing color depth and luminosity while luster approaches this level of brilliance but with less reflection if there is a strong side-light close to the artwork. Metal prints are ideal in locations with low natural light and good directional light from above. The metal print characteristics of archival quality, image brilliance, and durability makes it an excellent all-around choice.
