Aqua Hammer
Some waves act like waves are supposed to act. This one doesn't.
About This Image:
There is nothing about this wave that is normal. It doesn't break close to shore, it is incredibly fickle and hard to predict (even if you think you have a good understanding of needed tides and swell), and the waves here will often twist, turn and launch in ways you wouldn't expect. But all of that unpredictability is what makes this place special. You never know what you might capture. There have been many attempts where I have drove off without getting in the water because it isn't breaking (like I thought it should be). But when it breaks, it produces waves like this. The aqua color in the lip of the wave isn't artificial - it actually looks like that in real life. Amazing. And the shape of the wave is characteristically unique. I hope to get another day like this again. But you never know. Laguna Beach
Each Westphoria piece is made to order and printed on 9.5 Mil, 250 gsm premium-quality semi-glossy / luster photo paper with a resin coating that makes it feel thicker, heavier, and more durable than mass-marketed photo papers. The coating helps eliminate glare and visibility of fingerprints, so the ink colors come through vividly with no interference from smudges or smears.
Prints use a giclee printing process on color-calibrated Canon printers using aqueous pigment inks that resist fading for 100+ years.
Our premium solid wood frames come with optical-grade clear acrylic glass. Our mats are made from 4-ply white matboards with an attractive bevel at 45 degrees. The back of the frame includes a kraft paper dust cover. Hanging hardware included.
Everything is made and assembled in the US. Framed prints come fully assembled and ready to display on your wall.
