Description

***NOTE- MOST PRINTS ARE MUCH SHARPER, WITH BETTER COLOR & SATURATION. WE MAY BE HAVING AN EBAY CAUSED ERROR: POOR  SHARPNESS, COLOR, & RESOLUTION PROBLEMS WITH THE PHOTO YOU SEE HERE. WE ARE WAITING FOR EBAY TO FIX THIS***
This is a quality nostalgic giclee photo on Epson pro glossy photo paper from an original Velvia transparency in a 35mm full frame format, shrink wrapped,
cropped to fit, and mounted on a single bl
ue
8x10 inch backing board (**included as part of the print which you can see here - see photo, ***note that the thin white/black line is
part of the print and
not
a mat board cutout
)
with caption and photography information on the back of the Haleiwa Surf-N-Sea surf shop 19
82?
It is also initialed ('BR ') in the lower corner of the print which is not on the sample photo you see here.
The building has been
refurbished
several times since, changes have been made to the front of the building. For surfers and locals the store holds a lot of fond memories as a landmark in the Haleiwa town area.
It is also a little grainy as the original was shot on 35 Velvia transparency film,and  it is still a beautiful historic and artistic image.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who may have been to the store, likes this area, or historic building images of Hawaii. They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
Our hand printed silver halide gelatin original black and white and  color photos are very popular and affordable to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii, as well as people who have never visited Hawaii. We're proud to mention that many of our photos were used as background artwork in the top rated CBS television network series "Hawaii 5-0".  Prices are less than you would pay retail at a gallery or custom photo lab for a hand printed and mounted silver halide black and white print and production costs are lower than most folks so we want to offer affordable quality art for people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. It is also available in
larger
sizes unmounted, please inquire.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
e-Bay's transfer process and the computer screen may make the photo look contrasty and slightly darker or lighter, depending on your monitor brightness and contrast settings. The color hues may look slightly different and may have a different tonal range and brightness than you may see on your individual computer screen. Please be aware of this.
**When it is attached to the single 8x10" mat blue backing board you will be able to see the backing board around the borders of the print. It makes the print look like there is a wider margin at the top and bottom of the photo (which you can see if you look at the photo, it is longer than wide) and is
not
a mat board cutout..
An 11x14 inch frame (or larger) with a custom cut mat from a frame shop or art store is the suggested way to display this photo.
Prints are permanently mounted to the acid free backing board using  archival photo adhesive and cannot be easily removed from the backing board without damaging the photo. If you want to use a larger frame and can't figure out how to do it with the photo mounted on the backing board, contact us and we can explain how it can be done. This is recommended for best visual and artistic impact in displaying this photo, although many people are happy using a standard 8x10 inch frame and displaying the image as is.
Prints are copyrighted and the images are not to be used for commercial, promotional use, or reproduced without our written permission. We want to make sure you know exactly what you are buying so we hope our thorough description of these photos will answer all your questions before you purchase. Please inquire if you have questions.
