The Story
The Trail of Ten Falls in Silver Falls State Park, Oregon, is a breathtaking 8 mile loop that is as rich with flora and fauna as it is abundant with waterfalls. As the name suggests, this trail spans nearly a dozen waterfalls, each with its own unique character.
I started at the Stone Circle Trailhead, which meant that this waterfalls, South Falls, was the first that I encountered on my hike — and what a way to start the hike. In my opinion, this waterfall is the most picturesque of all 10 on the trail.
It had rained the day before, so the ground was thick with mud and quite slippery in places, but I had spotted a small clearing by the base of the falls that offered a very interesting perspective of the falls between two trees that were growing apart from one another.
These trees framed the waterfall perfectly, as if they had grown there for that very purpose. The bright, soft moss and ferns in the foreground created a great counterbalance to the raw strength of the falls in the distance.
All in all, I probably spent well over an hour sitting in that spot, testing various compositions, but mostly just admiring the beauty of what was in front of me.
Limited Edition
Limited Edition prints represent only the highest caliber work in my portfolio and must pass uncompromising standards with regard to composition, image quality, subject matter, and emotional value. Limited Edition prints are offered in three (3) sizes: the small size is a Limited Edition of 50, the medium size is a Limited Edition of 30, and the large size is a Limited Edition of 20. This means that all images offered as a Limited Edition have a total edition of 100 across all size options. After all 100 prints of any given Limited Edition have been sold, no other prints of that image will ever be produced again (with the exception of artist’s proofs which never exceed 10% of the total edition size).

Certificate of Authenticity
Limited Editions are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) which provides pertinent information about the work, including its title, serial number, dimensions, relevant dates, and my full contact information as the artist and certificate issuer. In the event of an appraisal or resale, the COA establishes the authenticity and provenance of the work. It is highly recommended that the COA be kept with the work at all times, preferably non-permanently adhered to the back of the frame in which the print is mounted. For more information about the Certificate of Authenticity, please see the Certificate of Authenticity FAQ.
Paper
This Limited Edition is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 which is an archival quality, acid free, 100% cotton, 308gsm fine art paper with a smooth matte finish. With the proper care, this paper and the print that lives on it will retain their superior quality for generations. To learn more about caring for your Limited Edition print, please see the Print Care FAQ.
Custom Presentation Options
Due to the complexity of matting and framing options, it is not feasible to select custom mat and frame options via the online ordering process; therefore, by default, prints are shipped without mats and/or frames and it is the buyer’s responsibility to mat and frame their Limited Edition print should they choose to.
If you are interested in ordering a Limited Edition print that will be shipped in a mat and/or frame, before placing your order, please contact me and I will personally work with you to find presentation options that best suit the work and the location it will be displayed. Please note that custom presentation options will incur an additional cost.

Limited Edition prints with dimensions up to 24″ x 36″ are shipped in stay-flat boxes. This eliminates the need to roll prints in tubes, thus ensuring that your print arrives in a presentation-ready condition. Please allow up to four (4) business days of processing time for all new orders. Once your order has been processed, you will receive an email with a tracking code that you can use to monitor the shipment status of your order and determine an estimated delivery date. Depending on the shipping method you choose during checkout, it may take up to 2 weeks from the date you placed the order to receive your print. I understand this is a long time to wait and I sincerely appreciate your patience. My promise to you is that it will be worth the wait!
