THE SECOND IMAGE SELECTED FOR THE PERMANENT ARCHIVE
September 2014 marked a historic event in Wilderness Preservation. In 1964, then President Lyndon B. Johnson, enacted the Wilderness Act. It is one of America's most successful and enduring pieces of conservation legislation and hailed as a triumph for all who enjoy the open landscapes of America.
To mark the occasion, and celebrate this historic milestone, the Smithsonian held a juried competition. Rodney's image "Swan Lake" was selected as the Grand Prize winner from over 5,000 worldwide public entries. Beginning in September 2014 and running through 2015 the image was on display at the "Wilderness Forever" Exhibition in the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian in Washington DC.
Swan Lake marks the second of Rodney’s images to become part of the Smithsonian's permanent collection.

We often get asked where we come up with some of these names. In this case it was easy. Della Terra is Italian for “From the Earth.” What more do we need to say? It’s the perfect description for this wonderful style. Each piece is hand fitted with a very high end tightly woven fabric wrap, in either black or white. Each frame is handcrafted in and imported from Italy, and are sourced from sustainable forestry programs. All you have to do is pick which frame and linen works best for you.

When it comes to art, it’s personal. We realize that, of course. That’s why we offer Rodney’s beautiful images in a raw form: the photograph by itself. The image comes to you packaged in a sealed shipping packet. We recommend that you open it in the presence of your framer to ensure its perfection – it’s good to know that you left it with the framer in perfect condition. We are here to help your framer should they desire. To learn more on framing styles please take a moment to review our STYLES & EDITIONS guide.

As I turn the corners of my later life everything seems to be in chaos, and I find myself wanting to be somewhere else. When you're weary and your heart is worn down the only thing that keeps life worthy is Love. One can come to a place in life and find it wanting. I don’t want to be that kind of lonely.
Swans pair, then never part. Love. I want to be ‘that’ kind of lonely.
See Ya On the Trail!
