Frequently Asked Questions and General Information

More about the Cards:

Each card has one small faint line of writing on the front, under the picture.  A typical line is "Black Bear in Dandelions, Banff National Park" describing the card above on the left.

The card back has a longer write-up about John: 

"I feel fortunate to live in the Canadian Rockies and share my passion for the outdoors through photography.  'Wilderness Moments' introduces you to some of my favourite places and memories, capturing the magic of these mountains on film.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy hiking, backpacking and exploring in search of more!"

Each card is made from recycled glossy cover stock paper, making it durable, tough and thick; yet leaving it shiny and smooth, displaying the photographs beautifully with vibrant, rich colours.  Each actual image on the card has an added layer of varnish to help reproduce these vivid colours.

The cards are professionally printed in Calgary, Alberta.  The concept and design was prepared by Tim Nokes Design of Canmore, Alberta, while all additional layout and concept work was produced by Richard Maruk of Ivy Design in Calgary.

Please Note:  the colour of the border of the cards was difficult to reproduce on-screen and is not as 'gold' as it appears here.  It is a natural earthy tan colour with a hint of green/gold.

Is there a money-back refund or guarantee for damaged cards?

Yes, there is a money-back guarantee on all orders and on all cards damaged in shipping.  Money will be returned or cards will be replaced free of charge once the original cards are returned (and these cards may be returned collect to save you any additional shipping charges).  

Note that in six years of doing online business we are proud to say that we have yet to have had a single card returned for any reason.

Will there be more cards?

Yes, cards are added every year or two, with the most recent additions being five new wildlife cards in June 2005.
