Budding Black Locust

Boatmeadow Beach, Eastham in May

I pursue sunsets the way they say some women pursue shoes – you just can’t have enough of them. On this particular night, I thought the sun was going to disappear in the cloudy horizon, but then it shown through like a red tail light in the fog. Setting my tripod at ground level I framed the silhouette of this small locust tree against the glowing evening sky with the sun close to the barely discernable horizon. Several years later, I framed the same tree against a pure white background, called Etched in Snow. Jon Vaughan

Processes and Materials

This photograph is dry-mounted and personally hand signed by Jon Vaughan on the back, including the title, location and time of year. It is an open edition print on archival pulp paper with archival pigment inks. Please treat it with the same care you would give to watercolor art - framed behind glass and protected from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. The print is permanently dry mounted on acid-free foam board. Then an acid and lignin free mat (Crescent Select - White Sands) is custom cut and museum hinged to the mounting board. The finished piece is protected in a custom sleeve of high clarity archival Mylar film. All of the mounting, matting and framing is done at Yankee Ingenuity.
