Recommended by Nikki (Fine Print Photographer & Content Publisher): Seattle legend, Lockwood Dennis, pulls the still sweetness of a nighttime walk through the city into this small print for us. Dennis' skill with carving tools is impressive. With as few marks as possible, he curves the blades of grass, hints at clouds being lit by moonlight, and makes the sleeping buildings glow - all with only the barest hint of the moon's crescent shape peeking out from the top of the image. I like how this print packs a great deal of feeling into it, without needing any color to tell a beautiful story.
