Pier of Dreams

256 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
City Pier, Bayfront Park, Anna Maria Island, Florida

At the tip of Anna Maria Island in the enchanting embrace of Florida's Gulf Coast, an enduring slice of history unfolds. This large format photograph transports you to a place where time seems to stand still, and the past mingles seamlessly with the present.

As the sun gracefully dips below the horizon, the sky over Tampa Bay undergoes a remarkable transformation, painting the heavens in soft, ethereal hues. Your gaze naturally gravitates down the long, weathered pier, where the heart of this tale awaits: Anna Maria Island's historic pier.

This pier, steeped in the sands of time, holds a storied past that whispers of old Florida charm and coastal traditions. For generations, it has been a gathering place for both locals and wanderers, a testament to the island's enduring spirit. Originally built as a hub for shipping and transportation, it has weathered the tides of change, evolving into a sanctuary of serenity.

The large format technique used to capture this image does justice to the smallest details. The rustic architecture of the pier tells a tale of resilience whilst the long exposure lends an air of timelessness to the gentle waters below, reminiscent of days when ships came and went, and life unfolded at a slower pace.

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.
