Nelson Seascape - Limited Edition of 10 Print

I was in Nelson kayaking in the beautiful coastal blue-green waters. Nelson is truly one of the most beautiful areas of New Zealand (and in that -it has a lot of serious competition...). The vineyards, the beaches, and the city itself offer a wonderful (unspoiled -and let's hope is stays this way) playground for New Zealander's and tourists alike. Now I know why people rave about the place -and I didn't even get to Golden Bay. Seriously -go if you can! #Sunspoiled. One of the things that I like about this image is that New Zealand is surrounded by water, and yet it doesn't really take "center stage" in any of the images that I've taken. In my shots, it's always about people and (islands) and their relationship to water -but this image is the main attraction in the photograph. When water does feature in a photograph it's usually as an "antagonist" -in this shot the water is the "hero" as it were. I love the color combination and the serenity of the shot, as the sea takes precedence over the sky. The horizon line bends downwards in the middle of the image, which gives an (almost) optical illusion that you're "in" the water. In the middle (left of center) you can't really tell where the sea ends and the sky begins. I love the azure blue of both the sea and sky and the green ripples in the bottom left. For me, it's a kind of reflection of where I'm at in my (most probably) my life's timeline. The "sea" of my past takes up just over half the panorama, and my future to be lived, the time I have remaining takes up about 40% of my total (expected) lifespan. This is a metaphor for the lifespan of the average man. I myself intend to "live forever or die in the attempt." ~Joseph Heller ~or at least until Hailey's comet returns.

Chromoluxe Reproductions: (Limited edition of 10 only for any of my images). Chromoluxe means two things: Durability and Definition. This exclusive edition of 10 images will be created using the new Chromoluxe aluminum printing technique for high-quality large format art. The colors leap from the surface to produce vibrant melodious images. Your investment will retain its birth-date energy and integrity. You will appreciate this stunningly vital picture that is so spirited it will appear to levitate off any wall. The Chromoluxe sublimation technique means that the image is embossed into the slimline metal sheet that has a hanging frame on the back so that it sits out from the wall -by a couple of inches. This means that your rare edition print will seem to “float” just in from of the wall. You won’t need to make a separate payment for framing or worry about breakable glass and expensive heavy frames to carry (if you move to a new house). This print will be scratch-resistant, durable, and will retain the image’s vibrancy ~for a lifetime. This is 21st-century printing, high definition and literally, state-of-the-art. Very few places in the world can produce an image of this size, in this format. Not only will you have a collectible work of art, but it will be rendered in the cutting-edge format. Durable, appreciable, and gallery-quality. Side on, the print appears as a slip sheet of aluminum, from the front, the colors are glossy and intensely vivid. The panel has smoothed corners and looks sleek and elegant. (You can opt for a matte finish if you prefer). Your beautiful art will be carefully packaged in a custom-made box with plenty of protection for shipping. Shipping is tracked and signed for as standard. Takes approximately three weeks to get ready to ship. *(The estimated weight is based on Canvas Gallery Wrap 1.5" deep with 1 Layer of Resin).
