This is a fair quality (but grainy), non-mass produced 20 x 30 inch giclee black and white print
unmounted
,
with caption and photography information on the back of an epic day at North Oahu's Sunset (Paumalu) Beach circa 1972. It was shot at a higher elevation from a satellite dish tracking receiver at the COMSAT tracking station (above Sunset Beach) on the mountain overlooking the surf spot at about 600 foot elevation.
It is initialed or signed ('BR 72') on the front lower corner of the photo, and has preservation tips included on a separate label. On this particular day at 8:30 a.m. the 6-10+ foot swells with perfect conditions were lined up to the horizon, there was one guy out. It was like this all day long with no lulls and got bigger in the afternoon with ultra consistent 10-12+ (Hawaiian size) foot mirror conditions with a few sneaker sets, one of the most consistent swells you'll ever see at this break.
This photo was published in several surfing publications.
**Note:
The original
was shot on older black and white 35mm Tri-X film so it looks
much grainier
than the small sample print
(please be aware of this)
, but is still a record of an awesome day and nice historic collectible surfing photo.
The original
was scanned from the original negative and printed using the digital process on long lasting Epson lustre professional paper and archival inks. It is shipped rolled in double shipping tubes. Included is a separate caption label with specific information about the photo that can later be displayed separately with the print or affixed to the back.
**Please be aware that this photo is unlike newer computer digital prints because the original was shot on older grainy black and white film and printed from a copy negative and
will look much grainier than the small sample here
)
and is still a very nice historic print.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes this area, worked for the mill,  or likes  historic sugar or railroad images of Hawaii. They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
