One of my favorite places to explore, Keomuku is located on the northeast shore of Lanai. During ancient times, fishermen and farmers settled along the coastal portions of this area up to the valley of Maunalei. Keomuku was a small and sleepy fishing village up until 1899, when the Maunalei Sugar Company moved in, turning the village into a bustling sugar plantation.

Today, Keomuku lies abandoned and is called a ghost town by some. Little remains of the village and there is little evidence that once a thriving sugar industry was located here. The only structures that are left standing are a few old wooden structures from Club Lana'i and the original structure of the Ka Lanakila o Ka Malamalama Church, which was completed in 1903. It is the last structure that is still intact in the village.

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 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 silver gelatin fiber base paper.  This piece is part of an award-winning series called "A New Discovery".

The ancient sport of kings and their horses came to Hawaii more than 100 years ago, and finds its Kauai home at Anini Beach Park.  Hawaii is one of the few places in the world where people can watch professional polo. O'ahu has its own team, as does Kauai. Games take place on a grassy field across from Anini Beach on Sunday afternoons.

CHICAGOLAND

©2011 Kelly Fitzgerald

I am very excited to announce that I have a new body of work called Chicagoland - Black & White Cityscapes of Chicago.  I recently discovered this series while working on The Archive Project.  This is my first body of work featuring cityscapes.  Chicagoland is not featured on my website just yet, as I am still editing the project.  I have over a dozen photographic images so far, so please stay tuned. 

This work was created by using an old manual SLR film camera, Ilford Delta 100 Professional Black-and-White Film and Agfa APX-100 Agfapan Professional Black-and-White Film.  Sadly, the Agfa APX-100 Agfapan 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 as a limited edition archival pigment ink print.
