Care Instructions
Keep your artwork looking as stunning as the day it arrived:
Metal Prints
- For a quick clean, dust your metal print with a microfiber or soft dry cloth.
- For a deep clean, wipe clean with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of water or a mild glass cleaner.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or ammonia-based products.
- Metal prints are moisture-resistant, making them great for humid environments—just avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Framed Prints
- Dust the frame regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- Use a microfiber cloth and a non-ammonia glass cleaner for the acrylic front—avoid paper towels or rough fabrics.
- Keep away from high humidity areas like bathrooms to protect the frame and artwork.
By following these simple steps, your Middles print will remain a timeless piece of adventure and inspiration in your space.
Hanging Instructions
Framed Prints (Sawtooth Hanger)
- Choose a spot with good lighting and minimal direct sunlight to preserve your print’s vibrancy.
- Measure the distance between the two corner sawtooth hangers on the back of the frame.
- Lightly mark those points on your wall using a level to keep things straight.
- For drywall, use picture hooks or drywall anchors. For wood or studs, nails or screws work great.
- Install two fasteners—one for each corner hanger.
- Gently rest each sawtooth hanger onto its fastener until secure.
- Step back, make sure it’s level, and enjoy the view.
Metal Prints (Float Inset Frame)
- Find a spot with indirect light to enhance the metal print’s natural luminescence.
- Use a pencil to mark where the two screws will go (measure twice, level once).
- Drill your holes and install two screws—anchors may be needed depending on your wall type.
- With clean hands or gloves (cotton or nitrile recommended), lift your print and align the inset frame's lip on the back with the screws.
- Gently lower the print onto the screws until it feels secure.
- Step back, make sure it’s level, and watch your wall come to life.

Watching A Dream
Devon shot this on a camera he built himself — splicing a smaller film format into a larger body, an old trick most photographers have heard about and almost nobody actually does. A group of surfers stands at the water's edge on an LA beach, boards still under their arms, waiting on the next set. The frame is doing two things at once: documenting the people and the gear used to document them.

So happy with this print for my dining room. I was entranced by the red rocks and night skies on my visit out west, and this print captures both of them! The beautiful colors add warmth to the room. Have received many compliments from dinner guests as well!

Love this print on metal for my bedroom! I have it in a spot where it is the first thing I see when I open my eyes and it sets a beautiful tone for the day. I was not sure about the metal, but it adds a wonderful depth to the photo!

I got this for my dad for Christmas and it was his favorite gift! Hanalei is his absolute favorite place in the world and he’s never seen an image close up of the mountains like this. It’s so special to him and middles did such an amazing job with the framing and matting to make it look amazing hanging in the house!
