Canvas Texture
The production of your picture on canvas starts with the finest materials the industry has to offer. The stretcher bar we use is 3/4 of an inch thick. The canvas we use has a mild texture similar to that used by the dutch masters for portriture. Our canvas and our inks are rated as archivelable. From the canvas to the ink all the way down to the sealer we use only museum quality products.
The end result is a beautiful photo on canvas with a Life expectancy of 100 years under museum conditions.

A New Mexico Whip-tail lizard ran around on my son's T-shirt and I couldn't resist making a kaleidoscope from the resulting picture.

This was a lightning strike I took in Cimarron, New Mexico.  Daytime lightning photography made this picture possible.  I used the Lightning Trigger, located at this link:   http://www.lightningtrigger.com


In New Mexico you can find red chile ristras hanging just about anywhere in the fall.  I made this from a picture of a ristra.  Doesn't it make you want some enchiladas with red sauce?
