Stowe Community Church at Dawn

The sky above Stowe holds the last of the night in its upper reaches, a deep blue-violet pressing down against clouds that have begun to pink at their bellies. Below, the Community Church stands white and precise at the center of the village, its clapboards picking up the amber glow of the ground lights, its clock tower reading some early hour no one is yet awake to check. The steeple rises into the colored air with the quiet authority of something that has stood through a great many dawns.

Around the church, the village remains in its own half-darkness. Red buildings, green maples, a winding road — all held in the bluish pre-dawn light that arrives before the sun clears the hills. The Green Mountains roll behind the steeple in deep summer color, their ridgeline soft against the brightening sky. There is a coolness to this hour that the image carries in its palette: the blue-violet overhead, the warm orange of a single lamp beside the church door, the first pink beginning to saturate the east.

Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the Stowe, Vermont landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on archival satin photo 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.
