This is a fair quality not super sharp from a color slide original hand printed 8 x 10 inch (see photo)silver halide gelatin photograph of Bobbie Owens at Laniakea 1980s? custom printed by longtime Hawaii professional surfing photographer Bill Romerhaus in a darkroom from the original negative, archivally developed in chemistry on Ilford glossy surface black & white photographic paper. It may be initialed or signed and dated by the photographer('BR 68
')
on the front of the photo. This is a single print that was returned from a submission to a surfing magazine, it was probably printed in the publication. We just don't have the time to track down or contact these guys so that's why we're selling this print.
**
Please be aware that this photo is unlike newer computer digital prints because the original was shot on older black and white film and printed from the original negative 'As is' and the actual larger photo may  look grainier and not quite as sharp as the sample here. It also includes a white margin if you see one here. There may be few small specks on the photo that you can't see here. It has the unique look of a silver halide gelatin photo, the tonal range may a little softer than the higher contrast look of a computer screen.
It would make a great birthday, nostalgic, or holiday gift for the surfer, a friend, someone who grew up in this era, or likes historic images of surfing.
