Lupine Light
Lupine Light
I photographed this sunset scene on a cold and misty river walk in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand. Despite holding the most impressive display of lupines I’ve ever seen I often had the early morning and evenings like this one to myself. The rainbow of purples, whites, blues, and pinks in New Zealand are far beyond anything in my home state of Colorado.
As pretty as the Lupine are in New Zealand, they are an introduced invasive species that is changing the local riverscapes by anchoring glacial till and altering the natural braiding of rivers. This threatens other native plant species and reduces the habitat for birds, lizards and invertebrates. While we can’t quickly undo the introduction of invasive species, if you want to make a difference in your own home please consider a natural lawn and planting native species.
Metal Float Prints have vibrant colors and a luminescence that makes them shine in any room. By infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets, the finished prints are light, waterproof, and easy to care for; detail and resolution are superb and hanging only requires a simple nail.
Prints are on Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag. This is an archival fine-art Pigment Giclée on 100% cotton paper produced without optical brightening agents; this means your print may last up to 200 years under proper conditions vs 30-40 years for standard chromogenic papers (the paper used by most consumer photo labs). All prints come with a 2-inch white border so the image can be framed with or without matting and still look good.
