Canada British Columbia Yahk Rustic Wooden Building Night Mood Black And White Wall Art | Limited Edition of 10
This photograph was created in the small border town of Yahk, British Columbia, a place most people pass through without stopping. Yahk sits just north of the United States border above the Idaho Panhandle, surrounded by dense forest and long stretches of quiet highway. It is the kind of town where buildings often say more than the people, and where time feels suspended rather than lost.
The structure pictured here is known as Peter Pine Daze, an unusual wooden building that has caught my eye. Constructed from weathered planks and layered with an eclectic collection of objects, the facade feels more assembled than designed. A faded Coca-Cola sign anchors the scene, surrounded by ladders, license plates, lanterns, horseshoes, and fragments of rural life permanently affixed to the walls. Every surface tells a story of reuse, survival, and quiet eccentricity.
Photographed in black and white, the image strips away distraction and leans into texture. The grain of the wood, the rough edges of aging metal, and the uneven lines of the structure itself become the focus. The sky above is dramatic but restrained, giving the building space to breathe while reinforcing the sense of isolation and character that defines this corner of British Columbia. There is no attempt to romanticize the scene; instead, the photograph documents it honestly, precisely as it stands.
I made this photograph on location. Standing there, close enough to trace the cracks in the boards and read the wear on every object, the building felt less like a business and more like a personal archive left open to the road. Experiences like this are why I stop, slow down, and photograph places that most people overlook.
This is a real photograph created from lived experience, captured on location, and printed by hand. Each print is personally signed and includes a certificate of authenticity confirming that it is an original photographic work.

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.
