Taking the dirt road to Polihale Beach is such a blast, and even more exciting if you are driving a Jeep!  The Polihale Beach is located on the westernmost end of Kauai.  Being an extension of the Barking Sands Beach, it is the longest beach in Hawaii with a 17 mile long stretch of beautiful white sand.  The sand dunes can reach towering heights of over a hundred feet.  The majestic cliffs of Na Pali begin at the Polihale Beach's northern point where the Polihale State Park is also located.

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".
