The Story of the Shot

Every November, a peculiar event happens in Marquette, Michigan. The sun is at just the right latitude to rise directly through the opening in the old ore dock building downtown, an event that locals have dubbed “Orehenge.” Naturally, it is a photographer’s dream. I headed down to catch this unique ore dock sunrise event but was disappointed to see clouds to the east. Unfortunately, that meant Orehenge would be a no-go that day.

However, I stuck it out to see if there was any good light, and boy was there ever! This was one of the best ore dock sunrises I’ve ever seen (and one of the best sunrises in general). Even though the clouds blocked the sun from shining through the ore dock, they provided a perfect canvas for the sun to paint them with brilliant shades of crimson, pink, orange, and purple.

Print Type

METAL: Metal prints feature dye directly infused onto a thin sheet of aluminum. They are sleek and modern, featuring vibrant colors and an almost magical luminescence. Because they are made from a solid sheet of metal, they are waterproof and scratch resistant. Also, no framing is required for metal prints! Simply mount the print directly to your wall (mounting hardware is included with each print).

PAPER: Paper prints are un-framed and include just the print itself. The buyer is responsible for matting and framing the print once it has been delivered. That way, you can use a frame that you already have, or choose your own custom frame to better match your existing décor.

PLEASE NOTE: All prints ship directly from my print lab partner and are therefore not able to be signed. If you are interested in a signed print, please contact me to place a custom order. Signed prints usually cost slightly more since I need to have the print shipped twice (once from the print lab to me, and again from me to you).

Shipping

All orders ship for free. Please allow 2-4 weeks total for production and shipping/delivery. At this time, I am only able to ship to the contiguous 48 US states. Any orders with a shipping address outside of this area will be canceled and refunded.
