Dye Transfer Prints

My dye transfer prints are all made using original Kodak papers and dyes. The paper stock is double- or triple-weight fiber base with an air-dried F surface. The prints have at least 1" of white paper around the image area, and I title and sign the prints in archival ink under the image.

Volcanoes and Craters

Stand of Stripped Trees, Mt. St. Helens WA ~ 1990

(IMPORTANT: ONLY TWO PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
Desolate brown and black trees stand, dead and bare skeletons, in front of a ghostlike Mt. St. Helens, rendered in the palest blues and whites. (238K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 7" high (image area)

Meteor Crater Rim, AZ -- 1994

(IMPORTANT: ONLY THREE PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
An uncommon view of the famous Barringer Meteor Crater, showing rolling waves of broken strata thrown up on the rim of the crater in hues of tan, yellow and umber under an intensely dark-blue, nearly cloudless sky. (163K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 15" wide by 19" high (image area)

Wizard Island and Pine Tree, Crater Lake OR -- 1990

(IMPORTANT: ONLY THREE PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
A passing thunderstorm casts deep shadows and a clear, luminous glow over Crater Lake. The palate is deep subtle blues, grays, and tans. Just a touch of a rainbow floats above the crater wall. (99K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 6" high (image area)

Northern Shore, Crater Lake OR -- 1990
The southern expanse of Crater Lake, with Wizard Island almost shrouded in shadow. Gray-blues and tans and muted, subtle greens dominate this moody photograph. (84K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 6.5" high (image area)

Late Afternoon at Mt. St. Helens WA -- 1990

(IMPORTANT: ONLY THREE PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
A hazy, white plume of smoke wafts away from Mt. St. Helen's crater. A largely barren, creased and creviced landscape in deep browns and yellows under a hazy blue sky. (94K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 6.5" high (image area)

Mt. St. Helens at Dusk -- 1984
(IMPORTANT: LAST PRINT LEFT! SEE NEW PRICES.)
Sunset casts its last light on Mt. St. Helens, as clouds streak the sky and steam puffs from the snow-covered crater. Where the sun hits the snow, steam and clouds it the imbues them with salmon, pink and orange light. The sky and the shadowed landscape hold dark, cold blues and purples. (165K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 15" high (image area)

Crater Lake Shoreline, OR -- 1990
After a passing storm, the walls of Crater Late reveal a remarkable range of subtle colors--greens, reds, and tans, along with the expected grays and blacks. The slopes are dotted with deep green trees and brush, overlooking a slate-blue lake. A low-key and peaceful scene. (146K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 14" high (image area)

Cinder Cone, Haleakala Crater, Maui -- 1986

(IMPORTANT: ONLY THREE PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
This is one of the many cinder cones which dot the huge caldera of Haleakala. Greys predominate, with streaks of rusty orange dappling the slopes of the cone. In the foreground, the eroded rim of the caldera stands in highlit tan and green contrast to the soft tones of the cinder cone. I made this image the same day I made "Moonrise over Haleakala." It was a *good* morning. (205K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 15" high (image area)

Fresh Pahoehoe Flowing from Lava Tube, Volcanoes National Park HI -- 2002
Glowing blobs of engine-red and fiery-orange lava ooze out of charcoal gray and soot-black folds in pahoehoe. (191K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 15" high (image area)

New Pahoehoe Flowing over Old, Volcanoes National Park HI -- 2002
A foreboding landscape under a dark gray sky, as fresh charcoal gray pahoehoe covers older black flows. Glowing red, orange and yellow lava seeps through numerous cracks in the new flows, looking like so many glowering demonic eyes. (197K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 14" high (image area)

Fresh Pahoehoe, Mothers Day Flow HI -- 2002
A tongue of bright cherry-red lava seeps from under sparkling black and white crust. A brilliantly textured and detailed scene, with filaments of orange-gray new crust solidifying on the tongue. (231K JPEG)

Dye transfer print:
10" wide by 8" high (image area)

19" wide by 15" high (image area)(IMPORTANT: LAST PRINT LEFT! SEE NEW PRICES.)

Lava under Forest Fire Smoke, Volcanoes National Park HI -- 2002
Smoke from fires turns the sky salmon, orange, and golden, casting a ruddy sulphurous light over the new black lava fields, as hot, crimson lava seeps from cracks in the crust. (143K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 16" wide by 15" high (image area)

Mothers Day Flow to the Sea, Volcanoes National Park HI -- 2002

(IMPORTANT: ONLY THREE PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
On a moonlit night, a dark blue-gray sky and clouds overlook a river of red and yellow sparkles and glowing clouds, as the lava flows to the sea. (88K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 10" high (image area)

Mt. Adams from Windy Ridge, Mt. St. Helens WA ~ 1990

(IMPORTANT: ONLY THREE PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
Barely ten years after the eruption, purple lupine and green scrub begin to grow in a sear tan and gray landscape, with a cool blue-white Mt. Adams hovering in the background. (225K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 6"

Shattered Tree Trunks at Mt. St. Helens WA ~ 1990
A steamy Mt. St. Helens looms over an eroded brown and green landscape, littered with the pale bare trunks of the trees felled by the monumental explosion. (250K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 8" high (image area)

Spirit Lake and Mt. St. Helens WA ~ 1990

(IMPORTANT: ONLY TWO PRINTS LEFT. SEE NEW PRICES.)
Cold, blue-grey Spirit Lake catches the sun in the midst of a log-littered landscape painted in tans, dark browns, and siennas. Scattered new growth offers small accents in dark greens in this otherwise foreboding landscape. (201K JPEG)
Dye transfer print: 19" wide by 6.5" high (image area)

Wizard Island, Crater Lake OR ~ 1978

Crater Lake after sunset looks as coldly blue and icy as its snowy banks. The lake reflects the delicate pink sky of dusk in shades of lavender. (319K JPEG)
After sunset hints of subtle pink and gray in the sky contrast with the deep blues and purples that suffuse Crater Lake, its trees, and Wizard Island. Snow streaking the crater walls and the island picks up the light, pale blue of the sky. (182K JPEG)

Mt. St. Helens Rim with Hikers, WA -- 1993
An almost-monochrome view of the snowy rim of Mt. St. Helens, plus a few hikers. Bright ski trails zig-zag down steep slopes. Intricately-textured dark gray and brown ash deposits show through onion-like layers of pale gray and white snow, contrasting with the bluish, shadowed lava dome in the background. (151K JPEG)

Cinder Cone North Trail, Lassen Volcanic Park CA -- 1985
A brilliant image in whites, blues and soot-greys of a snow-covered cinder cone. The sun shining off the textured snow makes it look like hammered metal, in a nice contrast to the wispy cirrus clouds. (206K JPEG)
I climbed that trail to the top of the cone to photograph "Painted Dunes and Fantastic Lava Beds".
