Washed Out Highway, Punta Prieta
Click image to see larger.
The storm I was trying to race away from here at El Requeson, caught me the next day as I was trying to make my way home. It’s a hell of a drive from Bahia Concepción to the border, but you can make it in one shot on those long summer days, provided you leave early, have lots of coffee, and nothing goes wrong on Highway 1.
And if you’ve ever driven the Highway 1 in Baja, you know that something usually goes wrong.
I had left early enough, but the storm system had a head start. And in Baja “When it rains, it pours.” is an understatement. Highway 1 follows the contour of the land and often crosses arroyos (dry rivers) that lead to the sea. So when it rains, the highway can sometimes become submerged.
It’s a common thing though. After this photograph, I went down and drank some Tecates with the other stranded motorists until the water went down some.
Fine Art Prints
Fine art prints are printed on the highest quality Hahnemühle papers and each print is inspected by me for quality.
Canvas Prints
Canvas prints are available for certain series of photos. They are durable, do not need to be framed and look great over couches. Each canvas is signed by me, on the front, lower right.
I use a two inch stand-off edge, and the image wraps around to carry the image straight to the wall.
Framing Info
I have a relationship with local framer Mickey Maynard of Crack in the Wall, here in San Diego. Framing runs in his family. His work is unparalleled, and each frame is exquisitely cut and joined.
If you select to have your piece framed, you will receive a beautiful black wood frame, 4-inch white museum mat, and acrylic glazing (acrylic does not break).
Custom options are available. Please ask if you are interested in custom framing.
Shipping Info
My priority is that when you order something from me, you are able to hang it directly on your wall, and it looks perfect without blemishes or dings. So I take great care in shipping you your prints.
If you order a loose print, it will be shipped under plastic in a sturdy cardboard tube.
If you order a canvas or framed photograph, it will be shipped in a reinforced cardboard box, with padding to protect the edges and front of frame and photo.
