THE EXCELSIOR COLLECTION
This gallery brings together five works that define the spine of The Excelsior Collection—photographs created not as moments to be viewed, but as places to be entered.
Each piece anchors a different dimension of the human experience: reverence, belonging, aspiration, perspective, and presence. Together, they trace a quiet arc through time and terrain—moving from legacy landscapes to living coastlines, from stillness to motion, from memory to immediacy.
These works are produced at a scale intended to command space. Printed directly to acrylic and released in strictly limited editions, each piece is designed to live with its collector—to hold a room, to shape atmosphere, and to reveal itself slowly over time.
The artist does not approach photography as documentation, but as placement: placing the viewer inside a moment, inside a structure, inside a decision to pause and look more closely.
This collection is an invitation—not to browse, but to dwell.
The artist and the collector are connected.
They are partners in preserving moments that deserve permanence.

Large Format - Limited Edition Photographs
Collector Commission — 32nd Tower
Sepia · 36" × 48"
This photograph was commissioned during a relocation from Lido Village, California, to Henderson, Nevada. In their new home, the collector created a dedicated California room—an intentional space to honor the chapter they were leaving behind.
As an ode to time spent in Lido Village, the collector requested a commissioned work of the 32nd Street Pier, photographed in the same sepia tone and visual restraint as a prior Laguna Beach lifeguard tower commission from Main Beach. The piece now lives permanently within that space, serving as a quiet anchor to place, memory, and continuity.
Select commissions are accepted on a limited, inquiry-only basis.

"Places & Spaces" Commissioned Street Sign Installment
Henderson, Nevada
This installment was created as a personal record of place and passage.
Commissioned during a relocation from Southern California to Nevada, the work documents the streets and intersections that shaped the client’s life before departure. Each photograph captures a familiar name—ordinary on its own, but weighted with memory when viewed together.
Installed on a black accent wall in the primary bedroom of their new home, the series functions as both archive and anchor. It preserves where they’ve been while marking the beginning of where they are now.
Places & Spaces transforms street signs into markers of identity—quiet, enduring reminders that our lives are shaped as much by where we’ve lived as by where we’re going.

Intentionally Crafted
Shots By Dubbs is built on the belief that photography should be experienced, not merely displayed. The work is created through deliberate travel and patient observation, with each image carefully composed to honor place, light, and atmosphere. Every photograph is individually curated and prepared for large-format presentation, ensuring that each piece carries both visual weight …
READ OUR STORYShots By Dubbs Blog
**Shots By Dubbs** is a visual journal of presence, place, and perspective—where photography becomes a way of paying attention to the world and to oneself. This blog goes beyond images as artifacts and treats them as moments of recognition: light breaking just right, history embedded in architecture, movement caught mid-breath, stillness that speaks louder than noise.
Each post blends fine-art photography with story, context, and reflection—exploring *why* an image exists, not just *how* it was made. From coastal mornings and iconic landmarks to quiet details most people pass without noticing, Shots By Dubbs invites readers into a slower, more intentional way of seeing.
This is not a gear blog. It’s not a travel checklist. It’s a record of looking closely—at places, at time, at meaning—and honoring the fleeting moments that shape how we remember where we’ve been and who we are becoming.
