The Story Behind “Before the Dawn”
It’s the thrill of the unknown that gets me out of bed at hours most folks would classify as lunacy. With camera gear in one hand and coffee in the other, I head for the coast long before the world wakes up.
I scout my spot in the dark, frame the shot by feel, and wait—just me, the quiet, and the promise of what’s to come. This image was captured well before sunrise, under a sky still scattered with stars, when nature hadn’t quite decided if it was night or morning.
Before the Dawn lives in that rare, in-between moment. The air is still, the horizon holds its breath, and everything feels possible. It’s a reminder that some of the most rewarding experiences happen before the noise begins—when patience, trust, and a little faith in the light pay off.
Limited Edition Information
An edition of 25, and then it’s closed.
You get a 12×18 inch image printed on 13×19 inch archival paper. I print it myself. Each print is signed, titled and numbered.
The story behind the photograph comes with it, printed on 9×11 fine art paper, along with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Artist’s proofs (AP) are also made. They are numbered and marked AP, and I use them at my discretion.
Open Edition Information
Open Edition prints are made by Blazing Editions, a fine art print studio I’ve worked with for over a decade. I’ve been through their shop and watched how they work. They print to order with archival pigment inks, on paper or metal, and I trust them with my images.
Paper or Metal?
Paper gives you the most detail and the traditional look. Metal is glossy, vivid and tough, and it hangs without a frame.
Both use archival materials and archival pigment inks.
These are fine art prints. Frames are not included.
Which Size?
When in doubt, I’d go a size up.
The Print Size Guide shows how each size looks in a room.
Shipping & Handling
Every print is made to order and packed with care.
