About this photograph

After a week of near-freezing February weather, the Hudson was full of ice floes drifting down from upriver. I went to the waterfront to photograph them at sunset. Just as I thought I had my shot, a tugboat cut through the ice and into the frame. The captain caught my eye. I’m pretty sure he nodded, and I nodded back. I like to think he knew what his timing had added to the photograph.

Framing and care

Matted: arrives ready to frame, with a conservation-grade backing that fits any standard 11×14 frame, no extra mat needed. Matted and framed: the same matted print in a black frame, ready to hang, for pickup in Hoboken. Hang it out of direct sunlight and handle it by the mat edges or the frame.
