FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: LIGHTHOUSE, NICARAGUA

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Lighthouse, Nicaragua
Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber Base Print
16" H x 20" W
Limited Edition of 10
Price: $750 USD

Once a sleepy fishing village, San Juan del Sur's small-town lifestyle is still centered around the sea.  In fact, the majority of San Juan's residents make their living from it, fishing or managing dive and snorkel tours in and beyond the picturesque bay.

Works from "The Nicaragua Series" are sold as limited edition fine art photographic prints.  Whether you are a first time or seasoned art collector, investor, or dealer, Kelly Fitzgerald and her Representatives give you the opportunity to acquire remarkable artwork that will appreciate over time and give you years of enjoyment.

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 as an archival silver gelatin fiber base print.

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: BODIE HOUSE

Silver Gelatin Archival Fiber Base Print
16" H x 20" W
Limited Edition of 10
Price: $1,000 USD

The fine art photographic print "Bodie House" is currently on display at The Water Garden in Santa Monica, California.

Exhibit dates:  February 4, 2012 - February 4, 2013

Bodie is an original mining town from the late 1800's.  What's left today stands in a state of "arrested decay" and is maintained by the California State Parks System, who took over the town in 1962 to make it a State Historic Park.  I am fascinated by this place and it is one of my favorite historic parks.

FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: 'AKAKA FALLS - I, HAWAI'I

Archival Pigment Ink Print
40" H x 60" W
Limited Edition of 5
Price: $3,000 USD

I enjoyed exploring this lush, peaceful area and I felt like I was the only one there.  At 'Akaka Falls State Park, located along the northeastern Hamakua Coast, you can see two gorgeous waterfalls on one short hike.  The pleasant 0.4 mile uphill hike will take you through a lush rainforest filled with wild orchids, bamboo groves and draping ferns.

As you follow the paved footpath, you'll first see 100-foot Kahuna Falls.  Continue to follow the loop around the bend, and you'll discover towering 'Akaka Falls which plummets 442-feet into a stream-eroded gorge.  Beautiful 'Akaka Falls is perhaps Hawai'i Island's most famous waterfall. 

Works from "The Hawai'i Series" are sold as limited edition fine art photographic prints.  Whether you are a first time or seasoned art collector, investor, or dealer, Kelly Fitzgerald and her Representatives give you the opportunity to acquire remarkable artwork that will appreciate over time and give you years of enjoyment.

Professional framing is available for an additional charge.

This work was created by using an old medium format film camera and Kodak Professional Plus-X 125 Black-and-White Film.  Sadly, the 120mm film size 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 warmed toned archival pigment ink print.
