Dumont Master

Early one morning in August 2008, I received a phone call from a film producer looking for someone to scout Dumont Dunes for an upcoming commercial shoot.  After 3.5 hours of driving to the edge of Death Valley, I arrived at the dunes and was simply blown away by its expansive magnitude.  Standing over 450 feet tall, one-mile wide, and stretching for 4 miles, it's truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring.  A sign near the dunes states that the 7 billion cubic feet of sand is enough to build a road 40 feet wide by 6 inches high and would stretch around the earth at the equator nearly three times.  For the next three hours, I nervously hiked and shot the dunes alone, in complete and deafening silence, without any cell phone service and limited water, in 120ºF heat.  It was intimidating, eerie, and more than a little scary (especially when the soles of my boots melted off!), but once I finally found this perspective, I instantly knew it was the shot of the day, hence the title, Dumont Master. 
 
This image is available in several sizes, editions, mediums, and prices, all of which are listed in the pull down menu.  

Matted and framed images are printed with Epson UltraChrome K3 archival pigment inks on professional Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper. A white archival conservation matte surrounds the image and each print is signed on the front with the edition number.  Flat black hardwood frames and standard glass or plexiglass are used for framing and each image includes a certificate of authenticity.  When properly framed under glass or plexiglass, these prints are rated to last for over one hundred years with no noticeable change in permanence.

High-definition aluminum prints are created by infusing archival pigment inks into the surface of the aluminum and then sealing the image with a high-gloss finish.  These prints have the highest possible archival rating and will literally last forever.  They can be hung outdoors and exposed to direct sunlight without any damage and liquids are easily wiped off.  A 1/2" spacer (with holes for easy hanging) is attached to the back of the print which pushes the print away from the wall so it appears to float.  Aluminum prints are signed on the back with the edition number and include a certificate of authenticity.
