The Story of the Shot

I first noticed this photogenic juniper tree just inside the boundary of Yellowstone a couple years ago. Every time I drove into the park from Gardiner, this tree would catch my eye on a distant hillside. Later on, I learned that the local school kids in Gardiner have a name for it: the Dragon Tree. In late winter 2021, I finally devoted a few days to working with the Dragon. Over the course of a few sunrises and sunsets, I captured a handful of images that really show off this amazing tree. This was one of my favorites, with the sunrise through the tree roots sticking out from the hillside. Don’t forget to check out an alternate take on the Dragon Tree with my other print, The Eye of the Dragon!

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.
