Prints like this are usually purchased by hotels, restaurants, interior design, and movie production companies where the prints are displayed in large rooms and are viewed from 10 to 100 feet away. They look very impressive wherever they may be displayed. This hand signed photo when mounted and framed nicely, retails for much more (0-500+) at galleries in Hawaii. These photos make an excellent, affordable, treasured, and unique birthday or holiday gift for some special person in your life! ***Please note that the colors and brightness may vary slightly depending on your individual computer screen settings and because they are from a 35mm original film transparency some images may appear to be a little grainy or not super sharp very close up because they are enlarged from film much larger than what you see here. It will look sharper a few feet away and will look more like the the sample print you see here. When first evaluating it, we recommend that the viewer step back about five-10 feet to get the maximum visual impact. Prints are shipped unmounted, rolled up in a double shipping tube. 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.  We also have it available in 8x10 inch size, please inquire

.
****Please be aware that it is also grainy close up as the original was shot on older Velvia transparency film, scanned, and then transferred to a digital file and when enlarged to 20x30" it won't look as sharp close up as the small photo here (but totally awesome 5-10+ feet away)
, please be aware of this, but it is still a beautiful artistic image.
This would make a great birthday or holiday gift for a surfer or someone who has lived at or visited Haleiwa's north shore. They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.

This copyrighted 20 x 30 inch unmounted giclee print was shot by professional surfing, and stock photographer Bill Romerhaus, of North Shore Photography, who has been shooting surfing and scenics since 1967. He is one of a very few photographers in the world who specializes in hand printing original black & white waves and surfing for many years in his darkroom, and now offers his color images too.  This print will fit in a standard 20 x 30 inch frame, although there is a little extra white margin that may need to be custom trimmed to fit your frame. For the most impressive artistic impact we suggest using a 40 x 60 inch custom matted frame and we also recommend using a UV coating and UV glass for most permanence from environmental exposure. We also include a caption sheet with photography information for the back of a frame or display of the photo, and separate instructions with suggestions for making the print last longest.
Bill has lived in Hawaii for over 50 years. In 1965 he shot his first surfing photo and was a contributing photographer to Surfer, Surfing, and other magazines for several years. In 1983, he started NORTH SHORE PHOTOGRAPHY, specializing in black & white professional darkroom services, after attaining the status as a master black & white printer and film processor for professional clients island wide. He also worked as a contributing photographer to over 30 international surfing magazines and manufacturers, and as a photojournalist for over 100 publications and agencies worldwide. His photos have credited him with over 200 cover shots and full page advertisements. His work has appeared in Popular Photography, Shutterbug, American Photographer, Shape, Men's Fitness, Surfing, Surfer, Honolulu, Aloha, Honolulu Star-Bulletin & Advertiser newspapers, Outdoor, Outside, Conde Nast Traveler.
Professional clients include American Express, Vogue International, Hilton Hotels, Hawaiian Tropic, Aloha & Hawaiian Airlines, etc. He was also a contributing photographer for over 40 years to The North Shore News, in Haleiwa. He now specializes in printing historic and nostalgic images of Hawaii (aka NOSTALGIC PHOTOS HAWAII) from the thousands of photos he has produced and collected as a professional photographer in the past four decades living in Hawaii, and selling his award winning photo history book "Haleiwa: A Pictorial History" available at our e-Bay store. The images are very popular to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii. He is currently represented by Getty Images, one of the world's largest photo archives and most prestigious stock agency.
