“Under Interstate 88 Bridge #44” is offered as a custom fine art black and white photographic print, signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.

I captured this urban landscape with a Fuji Digital Medium Format Camera and the critically sharp Contax 645 120mm Planar lens.

This image, captured on a brisk late March morning is a west facing composition of the architecturally pleasing 10 span, arched Fox River Bridge. This visually attractive bridge is an open-spandrel arch bridge in which the bridge deck is supported by a system of arches and columns. This bridge is actually comprised of two independent structures but the eight rows of arches provide for a symmetrical single structure appearance. To achieve this extremely “wide view” without any distortion and provide for the massive, perfectly large print file, I used my sharpest “portrait length lens” and stitched the twelve images together as one.

As is normal with my urban landscapes, I carefully composed this urban intimate landscape with a very wide angle lens and then captured twelve detailed images to produce the final large format 2:3 aspect ratio print file. Print sizes to 52″ x 78″ are critically sharp at extremely close viewing distances.

I captured this image from the banks of the river flowing just below this view. The convergence of the girders, and the space between the two structures is visually complicated by the many rows of arches spanning the bridges length. To achieve this “wide view” without any distortion and provide for the massive, perfectly large print file.

This limited Edition Print will be Signed and Numbered. Pricing includes the print only with a white border and includes free shipping unless otherwise noted. This Print Requires Framing (see detailed info below).

Description

Limited Edition, fine art black and white photographic print, “Under Interstate 88 #44” was shot near Aurora, Illinois with a Fuji digital medium format camera and a Contax 645 120mm Planar Lens.

 Massive print sizes to 52″ x 78″, and much larger, are critically sharp at extremely close viewing distances. All images are what I saw with only color, brightness, shadow and contrast & local light and shadow adjustments, just as I did in the darkroom. 

This is a museum quality fine art print in black and white.

    Included in Your Print Purchase:

  • Pricing includes the print only, shipped flat to 16 x 20 or rolled in a tube mailer for larger sizes.
  • Framing, Presentation and Preservation:

  • All prints will require a frame, glass and backing material that matches print size. (Frames usually come 1/8” oversized to accommodate the glass, print and backing, please verify.)
  • Borderless Framing (meaning no cut mat board): All prints include a white border containing the number and signature.
  • Again, the white borders of the print assure that a cut mat board is not required for framing an Archival Print.
  • Acid Free white foam core is a good choice for backing in .25” thickness. An Acid Free mat board is optional between the backer board and the print.
  • Glass Options (“the Glazing”): Classic AR Glass, Museum Glass or other UV glass or a UV Acrylic as the “Glazing” (again meaning Glass) is highly recommended for UV protection and to protect the print. Classic AR Glass and Museum Glass are Anti-Reflective which greatly enhances viewing the print.
  • No spray or coating is required or recommended on any of our prints, please refrain from any such treatment.
