Monument Valley at dusk | Limited Edition of 10
Monument Valley Mittens at Dusk
The Utah-Arizona state line is one place that leaves you speechless with its raw beauty. With my permit to photograph Monument Valley, I shot this just after the sun had dipped below the horizon and left a warm glow on the desert. The West and East Mitten Buttes stand tall and proud. They are called the Mittens because they resemble two giant mittens with thumbs in.
These are not just rocks—they are the remains of the Rocky Mountains, shaped by the forces of nature over millions of years. The West Mitten Butte is 1,882 meters high, and the East Mitten Butte is 1,898 meters high. Their presence over Monument Valley reminds us of the power of geology and time.
I felt connected to this timeless landscape as I watched the last light of day hit the desert. The silence, broken only by the wind, added to the sense of calm and wonder. This fine-art colorful photo print will bring peace and awe to your space.

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.
