Purchasing Information
All of the images in this website are available for purchase. They were captured on film (35 mm and medium format), and then scanned in order to create digital files. We offer PRINTS, and NOTE CARDS. You might also wish to consider GIFT CERTIFICATES, or STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY.
PRINTS: The images are provided on photographic paper of archival quality, meaning that with proper care (displayed under glass, and kept out of direct sunlight), the colors will remain true for many years (at least 75, and probably more).
The 8x10 inch prints are generated by the artist on an HP printer with Vivera inks and using high gloss photo paper. The 16x20 inch prints are done by Fine Print Imaging using their trademarked "Lumira" process which converts the information in a digital file to the print on Fuji Crystal (glossy) archive paper. These larger images are known for their exceptional sharpness, color saturation, and color accuracy.
All prints are signed by the artist, who personally inspects each final order and does the packaging.
In terms of mats and frames, there is an infinite variety of possibilities and combinations. Hence, we provide the prints only and allow you to make the final selections on colors, textures, wood or metal, size, and any other special requirements you might have. You can do-it-yourself using materials available at almost any craft store, or you can work with your favorite frame shop. That way, you get precisely what you need to match your décor.
Price (each): 8"x10": $45 16"x20": $175
To order standard sized images, simply click on buttons below the images in any of the galleries. If you'd like alternate, or larger sizes, just email us with your selection (Portfolio, and image number) and the desired size, and we will arrange delivery and billing.
Shipping (U. S. Postal Service, Priority/Insured) of prints is provided at no cost to the customer (express shipments can be arranged, at cost). The large (16x20) prints arrive in a protective plastic sleeve, and are rolled and inserted into a sturdy shipping tube to minimize cost and time in transit. Just remove them from the tube and store them flat before matting and framing. The small (8x10) prints are placed in a white, acid-free mat with a black trim edge, and are shipped flat.
NOTE CARDS: We offer deluxe note cards (5x7 inch, containing a 4x6 inch print made by the artist). The inside is white and blank, ready to capture your thoughts and sentiments for a special person or loved one. They also can be framed, with the card stock acting as the mat. The cards come in boxes of 8 (with envelopes), each featuring two copies of each of the four most popular images from that gallery. They come in a sturdy, white box with a clear plastic cover and closed with a gold plastic ribbon. Nice gift idea!

GIFT CERTIFICATES: These make a great gift idea, since the recipient can choose the precise item that they want. Just contact us for details and specifics.
TAX Note: All prints, cards, and gift certificates (and shipping) will require 2.9% sales tax for Colorado residents. Estes Park Residents have a total tax of 7.7%. Out of state (non-Colorado) are not subject to sales tax.
STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY: If you would like to use one of our images in any secondary use (as in a brochure, book, advertisement, etc), one-time rights to any of the images shown here on this website can be obtained for a modest usage fee. Please note that we have a very large collection of aspens, general nature photography, and landscapes beyond what is shown here. Also, please visit the artist's other website devoted to Rocky Mountain graphics: www.awesomeASPENS.com. He has numerous aspen images beyond what appear in the websites. Just contact him describing your specific needs and to obtain details regarding stock usage.
COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND DESIGNER/DECORATOR USES: The artist would be pleased to work with interior decorators, designers, architects, and others who need graphics for special projects and/or large quantities of images. In such cases, we are pleased to offer a professional discount and special attention to your specific client needs. Feel free to contact the artist via email or phone.
