Arcanum

Artist notes:I had scouted out this shot and location the day before I shot this.  I knew it would have a lot going on, but I thought that might add to the magic of the image.  Note all that water draining into the sea.  That’s not from some waterfall behind me or to...

Colors

Artist notes:Early one spring morning I was out exploring some caves on the East end of the island.  This particular one was extremely dark but I could see the water at the bottom of it was unearthly clear.  I knew if I could harness enough natural light this could be...

Ehukai Mālie

Artist notes:This picturesque scene is not always so calm.  In the winter time, this beach is transformed into one of the world’s most famous surf spots.  Known as the “Banzai Pipeline,” surfers come from all over the world to challenge this massive wave.  Surf...

Eminence

Artist notes:As I was hiking along the North shore of Kaua‘i, exploring all the little nooks and crannies of the island, I found a number of just amazing locations that I really wanted to capture.  When I stumbled upon this one, my jaw dropped and my eyes nearly...

Halawa

Artist notes:This spot, where the river meets the sea in Halawa Valley on Moloka‘i is sacred to the Hawaiian people.  And for good reason.  Few places I’ve been emanate a feeling of majesty quite like Halawa.  High sea cliffs wrap around this bay and access to the...

Ho‘okalakupua

Artist notes:I was shooting this location a few nights previous to this and had been scouting the area for awhile.  The day I shot it originally, I did so with a different lens setup.  I wanted to have a little bit more of a wide angle to the shot, so I came back a...

Ho‘okipa

Artist notes:This is one of my favorite abstract shots.  The natural colors of the different types of limu (seaweed) growing on the coral banks of this tidepool provide a stunning foreground to the receding ocean blue.  The tumultuous ocean itself adds great character...

Kahe

Artist notes:Yes, the sunsets in Hawaii really are this good!  If you haven’t experienced one, I think you should!  If you have, then you know I’m not making it up.  This piece was photographed on the island of O‘ahu just passed the Ko Olina area. It’s a relatively...

Ke‘e

Artist notes:I had an incredible time shooting this sunset from a beach on Kaua‘i’s North shore.  I love the colors on the rocks and how they reflect the colors from the clouds in the sky.  For this image, I set up the shot about an hour or so before sunset and shot...

Kuka‘emoku

Artist notes:I saw the clouds from my house setting up a potentially incredible sunset, so I rushed up to I‘ao Valley and hiked up to get a good view of the needle (Kuka‘emoku).  As the sun began to set behind the valley, the sky lit up with blues and pinks and the...

Lanikai

Artist notes:Sunrise at Lanikai Beach is like no other place in Hawai’i.  Even before sunrise the beach is alive with dog walkers, joggers, yogis, paddlers, and yes, photographers.  I wasn’t sure I was going to even see the sunrise this day as the rains were...

Maui Before Time

Artist notes:This is essentially my back yard.  Well, technically, its more of my front yard.  The front window of my home looks out at these mountains.  While my view isn’t quite this spectacular, I do love the small piece of this view I do have.  There are several...

Naupaka a Po‘olenalena

Artist notes:I almost missed the opportunity to capture this shot as I was so focused on watching the beautiful sunset.  I had set up my camera and tripod maybe an hour before the sunset and I was killing time waiting for the right moment.  I knew the colors were...
