About this image
This image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope shows what lies near the sword of the constellation Orion -- an active stellar nursery containing thousands of young stars and developing protostars. Many will turn out like our sun. Some are even more massive. These massive stars light up the Orion nebula, which is seen here as the bright region near the center of the image.
To the north of the Orion nebula is a dark filamentary cloud of cold dust and gas, over 5 light-years in length, containing ruby red protostars that jewel the hilt of Orion's sword. These are the newest generation of stars in this stellar nursery, and include the protostar HOPS 68, where Spitzer spotted tiny green crystals in a surrounding cloud of gas.

What my clients say
Disclaimer: Adam is a friend.
That being said, his work is amazing and had found a place in my home. This Chicago skyline on metal has always been one of my favorites. It sits neatly atop this Italian cabinet in our living room.
I've also had the pleasure of watching him work. He is painstakingly patient setting up for some of his shots. It looks like a lot of work, but the results are beautiful.
I came across Adam's work while searching for unique photos of the St. Lawrence River and found a great shot of the Baie-Comeau Bridge. My inquiries were met with a prompt and courteous response from Adam directly who accommodated my color and sizing requests. After an easy purchase, the photo was carefully shipped and arrived in one week. It was very easy and pleasant transaction.
Excellent service and a variety of materials. Varying prices, tailored to different needs. Overall, good taste. Extensive experience in this sector.
