MetalPrints represent a new art medium for preserving photos by infusing dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. The high gloss coating takes on an almost magical luminescence. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, the archival qualities of this unique process are unparalleled. You’ve never seen a more brilliant impressive print before! Colors are vibrant and the luminescence is breathtaking. Detail and resolution are unsurpassed. To compliment this unique printing method, we have also developed a variety of ultra-modern ways to hang and display your Metal Prints.
Durable archival prints without glass

This is an “HDR” Photograph taken in Rhyolite, NV Ghost Town on the inside of an old abandoned train car.
I shot this using a Nikon D80. 3 exposures Tone Mapping with Photomatix
HDR is a form of photography created by layering multiple exposures of the same photograph, then using a tone-mapping software to adjust the colors, saturation, and brightness.
Gold was discovered in the area by Shorty Harris and E.L. Cross on August 4, 1904. Their "Bullfrog strike" gave rise to a number of gold rush towns that drew prospectors and speculators from surrounding towns such as Goldfield and Tonopah. Rhyolite, named for the deposits of the rock which contained much of the gold, would become the largest of these settlements. The most important operation was the Montgomery Shoshone mine and a mill was constructed to process its ore. The mine was sold to industrialist Charles M. Schwab in 1906 for a reported 5 million dollars. By 1907, the town had electricity with an estimated population of 3,500 to 10,000. The Panic of 1907 is believed to have adversely affected the town's economy. Production began to slow down by 1908 and the mine and mill were closed in 1911. By 1910 only an estimated 675 people remained in Rhyolite. The lights and power were turned off in 1916. By 1919, the post office had closed and the town was abandoned.
