Yosemite View—Special Print Offer

By Harold Davis | Published November 22, 2011

For a limited time only we are making available an archival pigment print of my dramatic monochromatic image of Yosemite (shown below) at a very special price. You can learn more about this print, or take advantage of this special offer, on our Special Print Offer page. This print would help to make any room look attractive or make an exquisite holiday gift.

Photographing during a clearing winter storm in Yosemite, I worked hard to find a slightly different angle to frame the marvelous vista that opened before me. It was hard to see this view without thinking of the sumptuous Ansel Adams photography of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada mountains, so naturally I wanted to create a photo that could be successfully converted to black and white.

To achieve this goal, I knew that I would need to have a sense of crispness across the entire image. This meant that I would need maximum depth-of-field. So I stopped my camera all the way down to f/22 and used a wide angle setting to achieve as much depth-of-field as possible.

Yosemite View appears in Creative Black & White: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques on pages 118-119 and will be on the cover of a Classic California postcard book and a 2013 wall calendar.

The image makes a lucious pigment print on 11″ X 17″ Hahnemule FineArt Baryta 325gsm paper. Here’s more information about the special offer for the Yosemite View print—you can also see more of my prints for sale here.

Here’s what people say about their Harold Davis print:

“Your Poppies print arrived today in perfect condition. Thank you for all the care you took to wrap and ship it so carefully. I cannot wait to frame it and hang it in my living room. This photo just speaks to me……”
—Ilene Hertz, San Jose, California
“The print has arrived safely. And it’s gorgeous! My coworkers are in awe.”

About Harold Davis prints:

When you buy a print made in my studio, it is giclée printed by hand with tender, loving care. Every print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

My prints are unconditionally warrantied. I stand by my work. I want you to be completely ecstatic.
If you are not satisfied with your print in any way or for any reason, please return it in as-new condition within one year for a no-questions-asked refund or exchange.

More about the Go van Gogh print:

Go van Gogh is giclée printed on 325 gsm acid-free, archival Epson Exhibition Fiber paper. Each print is individually made with a great deal of care using the best archival materials. Even the ink I use to sign my prints is acid free.

The actual image size of the print is somewhat smaller than the full paper size. This allows for my hand signature and overmatting when you frame the piece.

The price of this print includes careful, custom packing and insured Fedex ground shipping within the continental United States. (Please contact me for shipping costs to Alaska, Hawaii, or internationally.)

What will your Harold Davis print be worth 50 years from now?

Help support a living artist! I’m not comparing myself with the great masters of photography, but consider that during the many years that Edward Weston and Ansel Adams were active, you could
have bought one of their prints for a few hundred dollars (at most). These prints sell for tens—or hundreds—of thousands of dollarsat auction today.

Framing your Harold Davis print:

Many people have asked me about framing their Harold Davis print. I always recommend archival framing using acid-free materials and glass that provides UV protection. Note that we do not provide framing services. I am a photographer and artist, not a framer. I want you to work with a professional framer to make your own choices depending on where you will hang my print—and I don’t want to build a hidden markup into what I would have to charge for framing.

Have any questions?

If you have any questions about this print—or anything photographic for that matter—please email me (harold [at] photoblog2.com) or give me a call at 510.528.9977.
