Hazed and Confused

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
Limited Edition of 100
THE STORY

When I view this capture of a young grizzly bear, I see sadness and confusion. Both were certainly warranted given the circumstances.

The evening before, this grizzly was fed by some inconsiderate and/or ignorant humans. I don't know if they were ever apprehended and charged; the last time I spoke with a ranger he said no witnesses had yet provided a clear description of the offender's truck.

As a result, this previously well-behaved grizzly began spending time closer and closer to humans. In order to prevent the young grizzly from developing dangerous habits, rangers began hazing it. This consisted of flash bangs and bean bags to the rump. This photograph is after the second hazing I witnessed that day.

Grizzlies of this age (2-3 years old) face many challenges and by no means have an easy path to adulthood. This grizzly was simply trying to find its way after emancipating from its mother, and through no fault of its own, its journey just became more difficult.

Limited Editions: Zach's Finest Captures

Exclusivity

Just like the natural moment shared within the capture, each Limited Edition is once-in-a-lifetime. As a collector of this capture, you'll be one of a select few individuals to enjoy its beauty.

A limited number of Artist Proofs—no more than ten percent of the edition size—may be offered periodically.

Once this Limited Edition is fully collected, this capture will never be offered to the public again.

Uniquely Yours

Your piece will feature its individual numbering and artist's original signature. Depending upon the display option selected, this may be on the front or reverse of the piece.

Also included are two Certificates of Authenticity: one adhered to the rear of the finished capture, and the other as a collectible parchment to be stored in your archives.

The Quality You Expect

Your Limited Edition capture will be crafted to order in either the artist's studio or in Europe by partner artisan. No sacrifices are made—the only objective is to create the finest possible piece of art for your collection.

Frames and/or mounting hardware will be crafted and installed by hand using only the finest materials.

Once crafting is complete, your piece will be carefully inspected and signed by the artist prior to delivery or pickup.

Details of Craftsmanship

The Print

Your capture will feature the highest possible level of quality and detail. Please understand that it is not possible to portray this quality on your device's monitor. We welcome you to visit our gallery to see our extraordinary level of detail in person.

Our recommendation is to select matte finishes as opposed to gloss. Matte finishes help to diffuse light and reduce or eliminate reflections, ensuring that your capture's beauty isn't lost or difficult to appreciate.

Artistic Mounts

Wrapped canvas is a popular option thanks to its simplicity and "wrap around" appearance on all sides. Your canvas will be meticulously printed and hand-stretched over a custom-made wooden frame.

For a more modern appearance, consider the "Museum Mount" option. Your capture will be printed and then mounted to a thin block of solid aluminum (strength for mounting, but lightweight and easy to handle) before being laminated with either a matte (recommended) or gloss finish.

For the best of both worlds, upgrade your Museum Mount selection to the Wooden Edge enhancement. This offers a .2" wide thin wood frame with a depth of 1.37"

Framing

Your capture's frame will be crafted to order using sustainably sourced solid wood.

The Passe-Partout selection is ideal for the most discerning collectors. Enjoy a museum-quality glass (not acrylic) with anti-reflective properties that ensures accurate and vivid presentation of your capture's details and colors. This glass also blocks ultraviolet rays, protecting the integrity of the print for a lifetime and beyond.

Passe-Partout pieces with larger dimensions than the maximum shown here may be available in our gallery.
