Top Availability

Coloured Ice: Near Squamish, BC is offered in 5 sizes, as listed below.  At each size, only 20 prints will be made, for a total of 100 prints.  Each print is personally signed, dated, and numbered.

The following prices are in Canadian dollars, for the print only, not including taxes or shipping.  Payment is accepted by credit card, cheque, or money order.


Sample photographic print: 24x36

Extra-Large (20 Available):  $440

(24" x 36" or 27" x 36")  Fully 3 feet long, this size makes a grand impression, forming an excellent focal point for a very large space.  Every detail in the photograph is stunningly rendered, making this an excellent size for distant viewing.


Sample photographic print: 20x30

Large (20 Available):  $320

(20" x 30" or 22.5" x 30")  A very large print, this size is for spaces that can't quite accommodate a fully sized print.  Details are large and distinct: this print size can be viewed from a comfortable distance.


Sample photographic print: 16x24

Medium (20 Available):  $240

(16" x 24" or 18" x 24")  A mid-sized print, this size works well in most spaces, either alone in smaller rooms or with other work in larger spaces.  Fine details reveal themselves on close inspection, making this an excellent size for close-up viewing.


Sample photographic print: 11x16.5

Small (20 Available):  $140

(11" x 16.5" or 12" x 16")  A smaller print, this size is good for very small spaces, or where wall space is limited by other works.  Very fine details are somewhat suppressed at this size, but the photograph still reveals fascinating patterns close up.


Sample photographic print: 8x12

Extra-Small (20 Available):  $100

(8" x 12" or 9" x 12")  The smallest available, this size is only 1 foot along its longest dimension.  This size of print inevitably suppresses some finer details, though they can be seen using weak magnification.


If fewer than 3 photographs remain unsold in a series, the price per print will increase.  Buy a Print or Contact Me if you have any questions.  For more about Lightjet prints, please visit Frequently Asked Questions.


Top Print and Photograph Quality

From image capture, to digital processing, to final printing, I take great care to maintain detail, tonal depth, and colour saturation in every one of my photographs.  My photographs are not staged or digitally enhanced – for more on these and other ethical issues, please visit Frequently Asked Questions.

I personally create, process, print and inspect every photograph that I sell.  All of the photographs on this website are printed to the highest quality possible.  My prints do not disappoint!


Top The Printing Process

To print a photograph, I first digitize each 35mm film frame using a specialized film scanner.  For colour photographs, I carefully match the photograph's colours and tones to the original slide.  For black and white photographs, I interpret the scene for the second time, adjusting the photograph's tone and contrast to show the subject in a new way.  After the office work is done, I send the file for printing on the legendary Cymbolic Sciences Lightjet 5000 printer.

Lightjet photographic prints provide the truest and most vivid photographic print experience available today.  Colours are brilliant, tones are rich and details are crisp, even in the largest prints.  The Lightjet photographic process uses lasers to expose top-quality archival photographic paper, resulting in a crisp, detailed print that will remain colourful and true to its original state for generations.  All prints are printed on professional matte photographic paper.


Top Framing and Displaying

Lightjet prints can be matted and framed just like regular photographic prints.  Alternative mounting processes, like plaque mounting or plexiglass mounting, can be used to create a very modern look.  The empty space surrounding the print should be about half as wide as the short side of the print.  (For example, an 8" x 12" print should have about a 4" border.)

Photographic prints of any kind look their best when properly lit.  Strong, white overhead light is recommended, pointed onto the print if possible.  To reduce distracting reflections, avoid facing a photograph towards a window.

Most print sizes will require custom mats and frames.  Unless requested, prints are shipped unframed.  Contact Me if you are interested in purchasing a matted, framed, or mounted print.
