I don’t know who Kurt Ross is, but at both the Canada Trading Company and the Skylon Tower they sell matted photographs of the Falls that he took. His web site has some samples.

From the Niagara Falls Review: Four months after an unnerving incident at the Canada-U.S. border that resulted in a two-hour detention (and a very silent ride home), I am proud to say I am now one of North America’s most trusted travellers.
