Down the Road, Waitsfield
Francois de Melogue
2024 | Archival pigment print on archival satin photo paper | 25x17

The road climbs out of the valley floor in a long, easy curve, yellow lines splitting the asphalt in two. The air at this hour carries the particular chill of a summer morning not yet committed to warmth, the grass on either side still holding the night's moisture. A mailbox lists sideways at the shoulder, patient and unremarked. Ahead, the pavement crests and disappears, giving way to whatever comes next.

What comes next is the barn — a deep, worn red against the green, flanked by two silver silos whose vines have been climbing steadily for years. Behind them, the Mad River Valley assembles itself in layers: dark ridgelines holding their fog low, the soft bruised orange of a sky that has not yet decided what kind of day it will be. The mountains stand back from all of it, blue and uncommitted. For a moment, before the light shifts and the engines start, the whole valley is simply still.

Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the Waitsfield, Vermont landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on natural cotton paper to create a print that will last for generations.
Print only, with a 1/4 inch wide white bordering for convenient matting and (or) framing
Unmatted (unmounted) / unframed.
