ABOUT THE ARTWORK

......Although this listing defaults as “Limited Edition” The final number of prints in this run is as yet unknown. Each print is authored, signed, certified and numbered by me. The main images in these listings are at low resolution for security purposes. The additional images below the main image are sections of the whole image at full resolution. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ……………………………………………….. Death Valley, California, USA. ……………………………………………….............. ......Why not?, .… Why not the road? …. It finally hit me after spending a few days driving through Death Valley on this recently paved desert highway. The pursuit of exotic land-forms was what brought me here but as this image proves, the less obvious subjects can have an unanticipated force. Just stop! was the thought, so I mashed the brakes, pulled the car to the side and set the tripod in the middle of the road. December sees very little traffic in the desert. Learning to see what presents itself rather than just what we are looking for is apparently a life long endeavor. No matter how rote or mundane a place may seem to be there is always something of beauty and fascination to be found. The camera does indeed have a mind and an eye of it’s own. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ …… I am citing the creation date for these newly released pictures as current, either 2018 or 2019 because that is when they were worked into their current state. This image was originally assembled in 2006 . ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ......This new series of Black and White images I am offering have been given the “Ansel Adams” treatment. I have developed a technique for pulling clarity and drama out of the original image files in much the same way Ansel Adams did although my workflow is strictly digital. The final Giclee print is produced on a fine art luster finish, archival substrate for both the original prints and the open edition prints. These large original prints are shipped rolled in a tube. open edition prints are available on canvas as well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ...... Large original prints are intended to draw attention from across a room and compel a closer look. Ceiling lights or frame mounted lighting is recommended.

......Good Day, My name is Doug Lemke. This project was initiated in 1995 for the purpose of bringing my personal vision of the natural beauty and natural history of the U.S. to the art and publishing industries in the form of high quality photographic images. _____________________________________ ......I am introducing a new series of works which have not been seen until now, along with some of my more well established pieces which have been remastered and reintroduced. A main feature of this new collection is the Black & White series. These have been given the Ansel Adams treatment based on a technique I have developed over time intended to heighten drama. The color images in this new release have been similarly worked and in some cases the color has only been reintroduced back into the scene in varying amounts after the Black & White treatment. This seems to produce an effect which I will avoid describing and simply allow you to experience. _____________________________________ ......Below is a concise list of publishers.
