Welcome new visitors. Some of you may arrived here via the new "Night Skies Experience" feature article in the Explore Brainerd Destination Guide or the new Blog. Many MANY factors, not just the literal cost and time of producing the "best in class" Museum Class prints (compared to consumer grade photo/lab prints) go into product pricing. Please visit the Press-Media section to get a better understanding for many of those reasons and factors. Mark is one of the original true minimalist nature photographers of the digital era and has always been a true minimalist photographer. Gone are any sizes smaller than 11x14" (too much of the visual impact is lost going any smaller than that. Many factors (other than the literal cost to produce world class museum class art) go into the product pricing. Please visit the Press-Media section to get a better understanding for some of those factors. To our knowledge, no one or no source goes through as many steps or spends as much time producing any given print or canvas than we do. Did you know... well over 200 hours go into producing each print (the way that Mark produced his art?). In some cases over 300 hours are needed due to density & tone, with night images taking the longest to produce. A majority of this time is curing, but there are many critical steps along the way that are need to produce the finest art possible. Mark has spent over four decades in the high end imaging and fine art printing industries, and assures you, any product you purchase exceeds all museum standards worldwide for fine art print making, and are the highest quality you can achieve. ALL PRINTS SHOWN have approximate borders. Borders vary slightly depending on the size format. Canvases are Special Order only and start at $2,500. These are the Best In Class and take the longest to produce. Custom sizes and Panoramic canvases are still available by Special Order only. Please note... ALL PRINTS WILL ARRIVE TO YOU IN PRISTINE ORDER. THEY SHIP IN A TUBE AND SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED BY YOU. To avoid damage, claims and disappointment. Please do not remove the print or prints on your own. We know you are excited to see your order, but please have a professional framer remove the art for you to avoid damage. |

Your Monitor View vs Final Printed Art Concerns
Because there are opposing light sources going on with buying anything on-line, odds are the prints or canvas your purchase may look a little darker compared to what you see on your device or monitor. The reasons are two fold. #1: You are viewing a backlit light transmitted image, pushing the darker (all areas) brighter. #2: Your print or canvas will be viewed under the opposite (reflective) light source environment, where all areas absorb light, especially the darker areas, thus making it look darker than the backlit illuminated image on the website. This pertains to anything viewed on a computer, phone, tablet or television set. It's just plain physics. Regardless... what shows up at your door will be what Mark intended it to be.
