About the Item

Hand-crafted by world-renowned large format film photographer Bob Kolbrener. This image is available in the following sizes: 10x20 ($2,500) - 15x30 ($3,200) - 20x40 ($6,500). Please allow up to three weeks for your print to be made and delivered. Larger sizes are available upon request. Just down the coast from Carmel is a cove of eroded granite cliffs and monoliths of unparalleled size. Bob Kolbrener, a disciple of Ansel Adams, came to know this granite canyon intimately, making a number of his best-known works there. Among these images one stands above and beyond the others, “Rock Covers Paper #9, Big Sur, 1999”, which depicts the battleground where land meets sea. This scene, harboring the dynamic power of the Pacific, shows simultaneously the process and result of winter surf eroding the rocky outcrop.
