FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: TWO HAMMOCKS, KAUAI

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

The sheer beauty of Hanalei Bay is astonishing!  At two miles long, Hanalei Bay is the largest bay on Kauai and considered one of the best beaches in all of Hawaii.  Hanalei means "lei making" in Hawaiian.  Alternatively, the name Hanalei also means "crescent bay" and may be indicative of the shape of the bay.

Hanalei Bay Beach with its golden sand is located at the base of cliffs.  These cliffs reflect into the glass-like water of the bay.  Surrounding the bay are 1,000 to 4,000 foot high emerald mountains covered with mist.  Behind it, waterfalls provide a breathtaking backdrop.

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 tonal 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".

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: WAILUKU RIVER BRIDGE, HILO

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Wailuku River Bridge, Hilo
Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber base Print
20" H x 24" W
Limited Edition of 30
$1,400 Mounted + Matted

The Wailuku River Bridge is a historic rainbow arch bridge.  Completed in 1938, the bridge stretches across the beautiful 28 mile long Wailuku River on the Island of Hawaii.  Wailuku River State Park is located along the lower reach of the river.  One section of the park includes Rainbow Falls, and another section Pe'epe'e Falls.  There is also an area called the Boiling Pots (a series of small falls and pools).  In the Hawaiian language, wai means fresh water and luku means destruction, so it means essentially River of Destruction.  I absolutely loved exploring this area.

A couple of weeks ago, I received a very sweet note from Anne Inman.  She wrote that the Wailuku River area was her playground as a child growing up on the Big Island of Hawaii.  She thanked me for capturing the beautiful memories for her.  I would like to dedicate this fine art photograph of the week blog post to you Anne.  Thank you for your support and cheers to Hilo!

Professional framing is available for an additional charge.

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: HAENA TREES, KAUAI

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Haena Trees, Kauai
Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber Base Print
16" H x 20" W
Limited Edition of 50
$1,000.00 Mounted + Matted

Ha'ena is a small community on the north shore of Kauai, approximately 7 miles from Hanalei.  Backed by green mountains and cascading waterfalls, Ha'ena is at the beginning of the 11-mile Kalalau Trail along the remote and scenic Na Pali Coast.

I was inspired to create this image when I saw the roots of the old trees exposed in the sand.  There is a haunting beauty in this piece and I am drawn to the luminous light coming from behind the trees.  I was told by the locals that the trees were under threat of being chopped down because of a parking lot being built in this area, so I wanted to be sure to capture this magical place before it is gone.

Professional framing is available for an additional charge.

Archival Pigment Ink Print
8" H x 10" W
Limited Edition of 20
Price: $200 USD

In 2001, I embarked on a journey to discover my Irish roots by exploring Ireland. My adventure on the emerald island was an amazing experience, one that I will never forget. I loved the kindness and hospitality of the people, the beautiful landscape, the old castles, hearing the live traditional Irish music in the pubs, the hearty Irish stew, the beer (of course), the smell of peat fires in the countryside and the quaint little towns and their brightly colored buildings. To see more of my Ireland works, please visit my website.

This work was created by using an old manual SLR film camera and black-and-white negative film.  The traditional negative is scanned on a drum scanner to create a 300 megabyte digital file which serves as a vehicle for some balancing, such as dodging and burning 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 Premium Satin RC Paper.

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: KA'A'AWA VALLEY RD, OAHU

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Ka'a'awa Valley Rd, Oahu
Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber Base Print
20" H x 24" W
Limited Edition of 30
$1,400 Mounted + Matted

This road leads to Ka'a'awa Valley which is situated in one of Oahu's most historic areas.  The Ka'a'awa Valley is also one of Oahu's most beautiful valleys - still largely untouched by modern development.  In 1850, Dr. Gerrit P. Judd purchased the land today known as the Kualoa Ranch and Ka'a'awa Valley from King Kamehameha III and the property has remained in the family ever since. The owners strive to be role model stewards of the 'aina (land), by preserving and protecting it from development.

The Ka'a'awa Valley has been used for location filming for numerous major motion pictures (Jurassic Park, 50 First Dates, Pearl Harbor) and television productions (Fantasy Island, Lost and Hawaii Five-0).

Professional 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".
