Galveston Sunrise
Galveston Sunrise
Galveston Island, located along the Gulf Coast of Texas, is a popular destination known for its sandy beaches, historic charm, and vibrant attractions. One of its standout features is the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier, a lively waterfront amusement park extending from the Galveston Island Seawall and out over the Gulf. Originally built in 1943, the Pier was redeveloped and reopened in 2012 as the amusement park there today.
Along the beachfront that Pleasure Pier sits over are multiple jetties where you can often find people fishing and walking along. The jetties also happen to offer a prime spot to wait for the perfect sunrise light. The photo capture on this morning was indeed a lesson in patience being rewarded. The cloud cover almost made it seem like the possibility of good sunrise light was slim, but thankfully that notion was quickly proven incorrect!
TruLife Lumachrome HD Acrylic Fine Art Prints
The highest tier of fine art prints that I offer are all original photo prints residing under TruLife acrylic glass with Lumachrome HD paper. These pieces are produced using only the best materials available to provide brilliance and longevity of the prints. Lumachrome HD is a proprietary photo paper made from resin coated photo paper with a mirror smooth high gloss finish and utilizing Transparency Color Layer Technology. After creating the fine art photographic print, it is then face mounted behind a sheet of crystal clear acrylic. The TruLife acrylic provides a scratch resistant and non reflective glass surface with 99% UV protection that still displays vibrant colors. Each piece is then finished with a deluxe museum quality Roma HD backing frame.
Ultra Vibrant Acrylic Fine Art Prints
Unlike traditional acrylic, Ultra Vibrant acrylic printing utilizes a new state-of-the-art method of printing directly on the acrylic. Due to the layering of ink on the acrylic, an almost 3D rendering is produced with incredible vibrancy. By not using the TruLife acrylic and Lumachrome HD paper, we are able to provide a cost-effective print rivaling the quality of the Lumachrome prints while providing a distinctly different rendering in comparison.
Chromaluxe Aluminum Fine Art Prints
The Chromaluxe metal print option for my photographs is created by taking a thin aluminum photo panel designed by Chromaluxe and coating it with multiple specially formulated polymer layers. The polymer provides scratch, fire, fade, and water resistance to these stunning prints while also remaining lightweight. The printing process uses dye sublimation, which infuses the printing dyes directly into the metal panel, which provides archival level quality. Metal printing infuses vibrant colors with a depth that is difficult to match with traditional paper printing.
Loose Fine Art Lustre Paper Prints
For those interested in something smaller and simpler, I have available loose, unframed paper prints available. These are printed on fine art lustre paper with a semi-gloss surface that provides a pleasant depth of colors and contrast. As these prints are provided as-is, they end up being the cheapest option available, however they are not included in the limited edition count that the acrylic and aluminum prints are part of.
