About the photo: Clearwater, FL I stood, waiting, camera set up, wondering if this was the day. Would the sky light up with beauty or would it peter out and leave us wanting? I had been disappointed many times at this location, but that comes with the chase. So, I stood... waiting with anticipation. A sunset is a special thing and there is something that draws you in every time. They happen every single day, so why are we so fascinated with them? That’s how I felt as I stood staring at the scene in front of me, completely frozen in awe. I had been coming to this location for several days waiting for the perfect moment. The location, a simple beach. Each day the same thing, I would set up and wait. Days went by as the sunset would look promising and at the last minute, disappear into nothing. Today was different. There was anticipation in the air. A layer of clouds on the horizon threatened another let-down but just as the sun disappeared behind the horizon the clouds broke apart allowing the glow of the sun through. The sky lit up as the clouds added the perfect character to the scene. I fired off several shots to create this beautiful photo as the remaining light disappeared. The days of waiting had paid off and this photo was the result! Printing Information: Images are infused into specially coated surfaces, providing the most durable and longest lasting print medium. The aluminum panels are extremely durable, offering scratch and abrasion resistance without hiding your image behind glass. Sublimation metal also offers the highest fade resistance compared to every other photo medium. Dye-sublimation printing is a computer printing technique which uses heat to transfer dye onto many materials. In order to transfer the image from the paper to the aluminum, it requires a heat press process that is a combination of time, temperature and pressure. The heat press applies this special combination, to “transfer” the sublimation dyes at the molecular level into the aluminum. The images are fade resistant- the latest testing shows they will last a lifetime with resistance to yellowing and climate damage. They are chemical resistant- the surfaces can be cleaned with ammonia, bleach, acetone or any all-purpose cleaner. The images are also moisture resistant. The aluminum is .045" thick and is finished with a float mount on the back for hanging. The Aluminum panels are lightweight, durable, and made with recycled material and 100% recyclable.
