Villa Monastero
Lake Como, Italy
Limited Edition of 100
Ancient Italy. As I gazed out towards the horizon my imagination took hold and I couldn’t help but think of all the history in just this one scene. Nestled along the shores of Lake Como, I stood spellbound within the grounds of Villa Monastero. As I began to unpack my camera gear for a shot, I couldn’t figure out how to capture the scene as I needed to. With tripod in my hands, I decided to take a chance – either I’d get this shot or I’d get escorted out! Climbing out onto a balcony, I slipped over the railing and wrapped an arm around the corner column. With tripod in hand, I began setting up the legs to balance along the floor, railing, and column. Feeling the camera began to tip precariously towards the water I knew I had to somehow steady the camera while simultaneously snapping a large panoramic. Minutes dragged by as I focused in on my scene and finally began snapping shot after shot. Capturing the ancient history and beauty of Italy was important to me – and I had found the perfect shot.

In this process the face of the image is mounted to a 1/4" crystal clear acrylic, creating the depth and bold color gamut that is so compelling. An Aluminum subframe is then bonded to the back of the image, giving the feeling of a floating image. Your Acrylic Glass Mounted Print comes ready to hang with all the necessary hardware. (more info)
