America's 250th Celebration Fireworks

July 4, 1776, marked the day our founding fathers declared independence from Great Britain. 250 years later, that spirit of freedom is still worth celebrating and never taking for granted. I'm especially thankful for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, to help preserve those freedoms for all of us.

Last night, I packed my camera bag and hiked into the Black Hills National Forest with my family, making our way up onto a rocky overlook with one goal in mind: to watch the fireworks burst over Mount Rushmore National Memorial during America's 250th birthday celebration!

This artwork is offered as an Open Edition print.
Open Edition means the image is not limited to a set number of prints and will remain available as part of my ongoing collection.

Because it is not a limited release, this piece will not include a hand signature, edition number, or Certificate of Authenticity. Instead, it’s designed to be an accessible way to bring the same museum-quality photography into your space, without the exclusivity rules of a Limited Edition.

Each Open Edition print is still produced with the highest standard of professional printing and craftsmanship, created to look stunning on the wall and last for years to come.
