Ephemeral Blaze captures one of nature’s rarest performances, when Yosemite’s waterfall transforms into flowing fire under perfectly aligned light. I waited for days, knowing that if the clouds were too thick or the sun too dim, this moment would never reveal itself. When everything finally came together, the waterfall ignited, glowing like molten lava as it spilled over the cliff, even though it was only water dancing in light. Standing there, I felt an overwhelming sense of awe and gratitude for witnessing something so fleeting and precise. This image reflects why I create my work, to preserve moments that remind us how powerful, humbling, and deeply renewing it can be to simply stand in wonder before nature.
Each image is released in limited editions, with edition size set by presentation and scale, so the most substantial works remain the most rare.

Collector Edition of 25 · Lumachrome TruLife Acrylic · Handcrafted Italian Frame
TruLife acrylic in a handcrafted Italian frame with a linen liner chosen for the image. Frame series, finish, and liner are settled with you after the order, and production begins from there. The frame and liner add about fourteen inches to the finished dimensions, worth allowing for when planning placement.
Signature Edition of 50 · Lumachrome TruLife Acrylic · Gallery Float Mount
Face-mounted to TruLife acrylic and floated approximately one inch from the wall, with no frame to mediate between the image and the room. UV-resistant, anti-reflective, and scratch-resistant, with a lifetime guarantee against fading.
Signature Edition of 50 · ChromaLuxe Metal Print · Gallery Float Mount
Color infused into the aluminum panel itself, floated from the wall on a concealed system. Where acrylic produces luminosity, metal produces clarity. Exceptional fade resistance with no glazing or coating required.
Fine Art Edition of 100 · Hahnemühle Baryta Fine Art Paper
Printed without acrylic, so light meets the paper surface directly. Highlights stay luminous, shadows keep their nuance, and the surface has a tactile quality the other presentations approach differently. The understated choice, and the traditional one.
