Old door shutters on old stone barn | Limited Edition of 10
As I set up my camera, an intriguing sight unfolded: an old window adorned with wooden shutters nestled within the rustic walls of a century-old stone barn. In this black and white photograph, I captured the essence of rural beauty and the passage of time, emphasizing the rich history and character embedded within the barn's aged surfaces.
The photograph was taken in the picturesque countryside of Nebraska, USA, where the century-old stone barn is a testament to the region's agricultural heritage. Once a vital part of a working farm, the barn now serves as a visual reminder of the hardworking individuals who shaped the rural landscape of Nebraska and contributed to its growth and prosperity.
The black and white palette of the photograph accentuates the contrast between the rough textures of the weathered stones and the delicate wood grain of the shutters. The play of light and shadow creates a dramatic atmosphere that highlights the aged beauty of the barn, inviting the viewer to explore the stories and memories etched within its walls.
From a photographic standpoint, the proximity of the window and shutters enhances the sense of intimacy and connection with the subject. In addition, the composition skillfully showcases the juxtaposition of the barn's structural elements, urging the observer to appreciate the delicate balance between strength and fragility, past and present.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
