About this image
East of southern Florida, large swaths of ocean water glow peacock blue. These waters owe their iridescence to their shallow depths. Near Florida and Cuba, the underwater terrain is hilly, and the crests of many of these hills comprise the islands of the Bahamas. On February 12, 2009, relatively clear skies allowed the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite an unobstructed view of the region.
The most striking feature of this image is the Great Bahama Bank, a massive underwater hill underlying Andros Island in the west, Eleuthera Island in the east, and multiple islands in between. To the north, another bank underlies another set of islands, including Grand Bahama. The varied colors of these banks suggest their surfaces are somewhat uneven. The banks’ distinct contours, sharply outlined in dark blue, indicate that the ocean floor drops dramatically around them. In fact, over the banks, the water depth is often less than 10 meters (33 feet), but the surrounding basin plunges to depths as low as 4,000 meters (13,100 feet).

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.
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!
From the time of purchase Adam kept me up to date on the status of my order. The frame I originally wanted was on back order, but he was able to help me choose a similar frame. The print and frame are beautiful! I would recommend his company.
