366 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Custer, South Dakota
In the heart of South Dakota, I stood by a river that wound its way quietly through the forest, surrounded by towering pines and the kind of silence that only wild places know. The water moved steadily over rocks, catching the sunlight in flashes of silver, while the grass and trees along the banks swayed gently in the mountain breeze. I wanted this photograph to capture the beauty of the river and the feeling of calm that comes from being there, immersed in the rhythm of water and wind.
What makes this scene special to me is the way it balances movement and stillness. The river never stops flowing, yet the forest feels timeless, rooted in place for generations. Together, they create a harmony that is both grounding and inspiring. This is what I love most about nature photography: the way its landscapes remind you that time moves differently in the wild.
As a photographer, I’ve always been drawn to places where nature does the talking. Standing here, I didn’t feel the need to rush. I waited, I listened, and I framed the image so that anyone who sees it can feel that same sense of pause. My hope is that when you look at this photograph, you’re transported to the river’s edge, with the sound of water over stone and the scent of pine in the air.
This is an extremely high-resolution image, crafted so that every ripple of the water, every needle on the pines, and every rock along the bank comes through with remarkable clarity. I spent time waiting for the light to be just right, so the river shimmered without losing the deep greens of the forest. The effort was worth it and the final print is full of detail and presence, the kind that makes you feel like you could step right into the frame.
For me, this photograph represents the healing power of water and wilderness. Rivers have always been symbols of renewal, and pairing them with the strength of Wyoming’s forests creates a piece that calms the mind and uplifts the spirit. Whether it’s displayed in a home, office, or healthcare space, this image offers a moment of stillness in a busy world.
When you bring this photograph into your space, you bring in the voice of South Dakota's wild lands—steady, refreshing, and deeply restorative.

VAST Print™
A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:
- Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
- Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.
*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
