Frequently Asked Questions
General Information about the Wilderness Moments greeting card line
Each greeting card has a small subtle line of writing on the front, directly below the picture (for example, WM009 has "Black Bear in Dandelions, Banff National Park" written on the front below the photograph).
The back of the greeting cards features a longer write-up:
"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 greeting card is made from 100% FSC-certified, recycled-content, 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 notecards 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 by Richard Maruk of Ivy Design in Calgary, the same designer of John's best-selling line of Canadian Rockies coffee table books.
| Note: because most web browsers, including Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer, do not manage colours properly, the colour of the border of the cards may look different on your screen than it is in real life. The actual colour of the border is a natural, earthy tan colour with a hint of green/gold. |
