About this image
Perched on a cliff on the central California coast, 50 miles south of San Francisco, the 115-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in America, has been guiding mariners since 1872. Its five-wick lard oil lamp, and first-order Fresnel lens, comprised of 1,008 prisms, was first lit at sunset, November 15, 1872. The lens stands 16 feet tall, 6 feet in diameter, and weighs 2,000 pounds. It sits in a lantern room that had been constructed at the Lighthouse Service's general depot in New York before being shipped around the Horn.

What my clients say
The painting exceeded my expectations. A beautiful piece of artwork!
My wife and I were looking for photos of places we have been to showcase within our home, highlighting some of the adventures that we had been on together. Adam had coincidentally been to a few of the places that we have recently seen. His eye for photography and capturing scenes that we had been to in person are superb! Looking forwards to more adventures with my wife, and seeing Adam's perspective on what those places show.
After selecting a print, Adam worked with me to overlay momento text on an aerial photo of the Chicago Loop to create a unique retirement gift to commemorate a long career. Adam provided great artistic suggestions and was very professional, creative, and always responded promptly as we worked from idea to final product. Well done!
