FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: SANCTUARY, KAUAI

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Sanctuary, Kauai
Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber Base Print
20" H x 16" W
Limited Edition of 50
$1,000 Unframed.

This photograph was taken in Hanalei Valley on Kauai.  The valley is one mile wide and six miles long.  Most of the taro grown in Hawaii is grown here.  It is also home to the 917 acre Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge.  Established in 1972, it serves to protect endangered plants and Hawaiian water birds.

And here, at the gateway to the Hanalei Valley, is a one-way truss bridge originally constructed in 1912, the first of many one-way bridges that lie in the path of the winding scenic highway that leads through Hanalei Town to the end of the road.

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 silver gelatin fiber base print is printed in the traditional darkroom by a master printer with an enlarger, conventional chemistry and trays.  Made by hand, the old fashioned way.  This piece is part of an award-winning series called "A New Discovery".
