16 x 20 inch (**includes thin white margin not seen here) giclee print of an original Velvia transparency photo that was copied from an original black and white that was hand colored by Haleiwa artist Joy Dawn with oil based pastels and enhanced by longtime professional surfing photographer Bill Romerhaus (with caption and photography information included on a separate caption sheet) of the 1984 Pipeline Masters contest, and the figures in the front look like spectator aliens? It was printed on Epson premium pro photo paper, cropped, signed by the photographer in the lower corner (*
not seen here)
, and sold unmounted shipped in a tube.
***Note it has a narrow white margin which you can't see here, but will not show in a frame.
This is one of our more popular photos at point of purchase displays here in Hawaii, many people like the trippy artistic psychedelic look, and it looks good in a frame.
It is also a little grainy as it was copied on 35mm Velvia transparency film and enhanced, please be aware of this
, and it is still a beautiful artistic image.
We're proud to mention that many of our photos including this one were used as background artwork in the new CBS television network series "Hawaii 5-0".
It is shipped rolled up in a shipping tube.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes s
urfing or artistic
images of Hawaii. They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
Our original photos are very popular and affordable to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii, as well as people who have never visited Hawaii, and Prices are less than you would pay retail at a gallery or custom photo lab for a hand printed and mounted silver halide black and white print and production costs are lower than most folks so we want to offer affordable quality art for people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. Some of the prints will probably increase in value over time. We also offer prints on canvas to large mural sizes.
We feel we are preserving and promoting the history and culture of Hawaii to Kama'aina, visitors, and other folks at a reasonable price to display or share with others.
