Jagged Edge
Margerie Glacier, Alaska (2019)
Image No. 9099
Once a glacier is fed by enough snow to flow out of the mountains and down to the sea, it is called a tidewater glacier. The stress of centuries of advancement and retreat produce the jagged shelves of ice that calve when they reach the sea. Glacial ice is a different color from regular ice. As snow accumulates and packs down, the air bubbles compress and light passes through the ice more easily. This dense ice absorbs every other color of the spectrum except blue, creating the turquoise hues seen in the glacier ice and the reflection below.
Fine art photographic papers offer fade-resistant, archival inks (pigment based) that are sprayed onto the substrate making for an archival print that will last a lifetime. Photographs are printed either on (1) Metallic photo paper that provides a high-gloss, metallic appearance or on (2) Luster that provides a slightly glossy, textured look. Paper selection is dictated by the characteristics of the photograph. This loose-print option will be packaged securely and should arrive within 1-2 weeks.
Aluminum prints are made by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Depending on the image, either white glossy or sheer glossy finishes are produced. The infused image produces rich, vivid colors and detail not found in any other media. Metal prints are durable and do not fade or stain over time. Aluminum prints are fitted with a floating mount that allows the print to hang directly on the wall. If you prefer to have your photograph framed once you receive it, you may request “no float mount” to allow for traditional framing.
