Years ago I headed up a design and marketing team for a local restaurant chain. We were constantly printing off our menu board panels to accommodate new products and pricing. I kept thinking how cool it would be to have a panel in my house to show off my (then brand new) photography skills.

I’m pleased to say that somebody has created the perfect product, and made it better than I ever imagined. Faxon Moulder from Pleasant Grove, whom I have known from a local 4×4 club, has started up a neat little company called Backlitbox.com. The product is simple, clean and top notch. He makes illuminated picture frames directly from his customers’ photos. The detail in the images is tack sharp, and bursts into full color with the hundreds of tiny LED’s within the frame.

I had the chance to help Fax put together a promotional video for his boxes, in return for a custom box. I chose an image of a red fern, taken in Moab, Utah several years ago. The result is amazing. My family and friends can’t believe how clear and vivid the image quality is.

If you’re looking for a great holiday gift, you have to check out Backlitbox.com!

Backlit Box #2 is here. This one turned out even better than the first in my opinion. I took this shot in Arches National Park a few years ago. It’s a two-minute exposure with star trails, one of my favorites.

Go get a backlit box!

I’ll add some higher quality photos, but for now, here’s a fast iPhone pic:
