Description

***NOTE- MOST PRINTS ARE MUCH SHARPER, WITH BETTER COLOR & SATURATION. WE ARE HAVING AN EBAY CAUSED ERROR: POOR  SHARPNESS, COLOR, & RESOLUTION PROBLEMS WITH THE PHOTO YOU SEE HERE. IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR EBAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM - SORRY. WE ARE VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THIS!
This is a very good quality original hand printed silver halide gelatin photograph (not a digital inkjet print) custom printed by long time professional photographer Bill Romerhaus in a darkroom from the original negative, archivally developed in chemistry on Ilford 'Pearl' semi-matte surface black & white photographic paper,
cropped, and mounted on a single black 8x10 inch backing board **which is included as part of the print that you can see here
with caption and photography information on the back of the Sea View Inn, Haleiwa, circa 1981. It is initialed and dated on the front of the photo, and is shrink wrapped (which you can slightly see here) to protect it from damage and has preservation tips included in the label on the back.
The original Sea View Inn restaurant
,
which was built in the 1930's, was located at the Jerry's Sweet Shop location across Kam Highway from the War Memorial near Haleiwa Beach Park, and was a popular eatery and had several rooms for guests. The newer Sea View Inn (this photo, (now Haleiwa Joe's) was relocated in Haleiwa town on Kam Hwy near the Anahulu (Haleiwa) bridge in 1955 on the Haleiwa Hotel original site, it closed in 1988. It was a popular restaurant featuring local food and was frequented by surfers, tourists, and local residents. The eatery served home style local food, and was one of the few places that stayed open late enough to get a bite to eat after sundown, and also specialized in serving turtle steaks (no more!) The establishment went thru several changes of ownership and since had been refurbished from the original building
.
It would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes this area, lived here, or historic images of Hawaii. These prints are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
Our hand printed silver halide gelatin original 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  CBS television network series "Hawaii 5-0".
The prints are the 'old style' traditional film based images printed using an enlarger from a negative on real photographic paper and archivally processed by hand, not by a machine. 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 as a giclee print up to 24 x 36 inches, please inquire or check out our e-Bay store.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE
:
e-Bay's transfer process and the computer screen makes the photo look contrasty and slightly darker or lighter, depending on your monitor brightness and contrast settings. This photo is printed on non-glossy semi-matte 'pearl' surface paper and the photo offered has more gray tones, deep, richer blacks, less contrast, and has the unique look of a real silver halide gelatin print, which has a different tonal range and brightness than you may see on your individual computer screen. Please be aware of this. You may be able to see small imperfections on larger images as these are printed by hand 'as is' and are not retouched. We do however try to crop and correct them so they look best. It is printed on 8x10 inch paper from an original negative and margins may be slightly trimmed. **When it is attached to the black single mat 8x10" 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 margin around the edges of the photo which you can see here.
Prints are permanently mounted to the acid free backing board using an archival photo adhesive and cannot easily be removed from the backing board without damaging the photo. 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. If you want to use a larger frame and mat and you can't find an experienced framer who knows how to do it, contact us and we can provide information explaining 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" frame and displaying the image as is.
