One summer there were frequent electrical storms to the west of Fox Island. We stayed for a week each year in a little beach cabin on the island my parents owned. The kids were young and loved the water. It was how I spent the summers growing up.
At the time I was totally into the California School of the Picturesque Photograph, that is, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and the like. These nights were tailor made for monumental landscapes and explosive displays of the natural world.

This is a silver darkroom print. I made the photograph earlier and printed the negative (camera original) later. What you see is a scan of the actual print that is for sale.
Vintage prints are made within a year of the photographs create date. My usual practice is to print within a few days or weeks of exposure. What you see is a scan of the actual print that is for sale. Price does not include shipping or taxes.
Please note that vintage prints are imperfect. They’re old, after all. If you’re worried about it, bring it up. I’ll do my best to answer your questions.
Vintage - When I print the photograph within a year of the original exposure, that becomes a Vintage Print.
Archival Pigment - When I print in my studio using computer technology with pigmented inks on acid and lignin free paper, I call that an Archival Pigment Print.
Silver - When I print in my darkroom on gelatin silver paper, that is a Silver Print. These prints are double weight on a cotton fiber base.
