Prairie Silence Around an Abandoned Saskatchewan Farmhouse | Limited Edition of 10
Weathered Wooden Farmhouse Standing Alone On Open Prairie
There is a certain stillness you notice when driving across the prairie that doesn’t really exist anywhere else in the country. It’s not silence exactly but something broader than that—a kind of emptiness that stretches outward in every direction until the horizon begins to feel less like a boundary and more like an agreement between land and sky. This farmhouse sat quietly in the middle of that agreement, surrounded by wind-worn grass that had long since stopped caring who lived there.
The structure itself carries the marks of time in a way only wood can. The siding has thinned and peeled into layered grain, the window frames lean just slightly out of square, and the roofline seems to have settled into its own rhythm after decades of prairie winters. The open upper window is dark and hollow, a sharp contrast to the lighter sky, giving the entire building a presence that feels both vacant and watchful at once. Off to the side, a smaller outbuilding mirrors that same slow surrender, its boards weathered into pale strips that catch the light differently depending on where you stand.
I found this place while driving across Saskatchewan, miles from the nearest town, with nothing but fields and distant tree lines to interrupt the horizon. It wasn’t marked on any map or guide, just another quiet remnant of rural life that once anchored a family to this stretch of land. Photographing it in black and white allowed the textures to take over—the grain of the wood, the sweep of the grass, the subtle contrast in the cloud cover drifting across the sky.
Each print is personally signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It is produced using archival pigment inks to ensure long-term stability and tonal depth that holds up over time.

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.
