FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: HANALEI PIER, KAUAI

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Hanalei Pier, Kauai
Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber Base Print
30" H x 40" W
Limited Edition of 30
$2,000 Unframed

The historic pier in Hanalei Bay, Kauai was first originally built in 1892 to serve the region's thriving rice industry.  The pier was rebuilt in 1912 and again after Hurricane 'Iniki damaged the structure in 1992.  Today, the pier is a popular place to fish, swim, and enjoy views of the bay's sparkling blue waters and the towering picturesque mountains lined with waterfalls.  When I lived on beautiful Kauai, I spent many days surfing at Pavilions Break which is right next to the pier.

Professional matting and framing is available for an additional charge.

This work was created by using an old manual SLR film camera and Kodak Professional High-Speed HIE Black-and-White Infrared Negative Film.  Sadly, the film is no longer being manufactured.  The traditional negative is scanned on a drum scanner to create a 300 megabyte digital file which serves as a vehicle for the color balancing, lighting, and darkening that was formerly done in the darkroom.  Once the aesthetic interpretation is realized in the computer and matched with the artist proof print created in the traditional "wet" darkroom, the image is then printed on fully archival paper.  This piece is part of an award-winning series called "A New Discovery".
