Pictures of the Tetons

I had similar experiences. When I was between ten and fourteen or so, my parents would often take my brother and I on a series of wonderful summer vacation trips to the great National Parks of the West. Since we lived in Wyoming, one of the places we often visited was Grand Teton National Park. I can still remember one magic morning when we got up very early to go on a hike. We were walking around Jenny Lake shortly after dawn. The lake was absolutely still and mirrored the majestic Cathedral Group of the Tetons. Mists swirled above the lake and in the high peaks. The air was filled with the scent of pine and clean mountain water. I was absolutely enthralled. I vowed to come back. And I have. I've been back to the Tetons almost every year. The Tetons have become a central and enduring part of my life.

And then there were countless fishing and camping trips in Wyoming that filled my mind with happy memories. The smell of sage, the sound of running water, the sight of white cumulus clouds floating high over blue peaks had a large influence on my developing mind.

I'm sure that all of these experiences played a large part in my decision to become a landscape photographer. These images of the beauty of the natural world, seen at an early age, have remained with me all my life. Perhaps by being a landscape photographer, I'm trying, over and over, to recreate the perfection of these early images.

Now-a-days we divide our time between photographing the wildflowers, aspens and magnificent peaks of the high rockies, printing and framing the highest quality images we can make and doing a few carefully selected fine art shows in Colorado.

Our images are available in sizes that range from very small to wall size murals. Many of our larger images are laminated: a process that allows us to frame photographs without glass thus eliminating all glare and reflections. Our customers often tell us that these images are so real and lifelike they feel they can walk right into them.

All of our images are designed to last for a long time: our photographs are guaranteed not to fade or stain for at least sixty years. Our mats are of the best acid-free quality that will never fade, discolor or yellow .

We hope you enjoy our images of the Rocky Mountains.
