Jim Tarpo

Despite having ended off on my Jewel By the Bay photo session at midnight the day before, I took an early morning hike down a somewhat slippery embankment near Marshal's Beach. Since the prior day was also a travel day where I'd gotten up at 4:00 am to catch a flight, my legs were not happy with me.

While there was some self-doubt about the effort at the time, it became clear that this was a fantastic spot from which to photograph the Golden Gate bridge. The viewpoint, while looking down at the water of bay, looks up at the bridge in a way that highlights its immense magnitude.

I had barely gotten set up when the huge orange tanker cruised underneath the center span about eight minutes later.

The large subjects in this image are quite impressive and this photograph is able to convey that in great detail. With over 20K pixels in the vertical dimension, it is a good choice for prints covering a large vertical span.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
