About The Photo: Blue Ridge Mountains, VA Nature is amazing! The ability to survive despite the impossibility it faces always blows my mind. It shows strength, dedication, and a drive to overcome any and all obstacles despite the odds. It’s inspiring! This is what I wanted to capture. On a beautiful cloudy day, I began my hike with the mission in mind. It was early fall and the leaves had just begun to change. The sweet smell of autumn in the air! I began my search. After several hours, I came across a rock outcropping that grabbed my attention. It was taller than me, so I needed to climb up and when I did, I found what I was looking for. Nestled between two boulders, 7 feet above the ground was a small mountain ash its leaves already changing with the season. Despite all odds and with immense dedication this little mountain ash had found its home and survived. It stood tall overlooking its fellows and proudly saying, “I did it! I survived!” Forever captured in this moment, let this photo bring you encouragement and inspiration whenever you need it! Remember, you can do it despite how hard things get! Keep pushing, keep moving forward and you will make it! 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.
