The Story Behind “Dawn Greets Block Island“

For my birthday, I spent the weekend on Block Island. On the first afternoon, I scouted out this beach, thinking it just might be a good place to watch the sunrise. The next morning, I hit the streets at 4 a.m. and enjoyed a peaceful walk along the shoreline, searching for just the right spot.

The rock made for a perfect foreground. I set up my camera, cranked up my music, and stood back as Mother Nature did her beautiful work. Moments like this don’t ask for anything—just your attention. I consider myself truly blessed to witness mornings like this.

Printed as fine art. A birthday sunrise I almost didn’t get out of bed for.

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.
