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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Artist notes:The waters off of the North shore of Kaua‘i get pretty crazy in the winter time. Sometimes in the summer too they can be quite intrepid, as they were this day. I had just finished shooting another location and was on my way to another spot when I framed...

Artist notes:This image has been a favorite of art critics since I first released it. And I’m glad they seem to enjoy it as much as I do. I knew when I was setting up for this shot that I was in for something special. The rolling clouds were being lit up by the...

Artist notes:In order to get this shot, I waited until long after the sun set to snap the shutter open. I left the shutter open for about ten minutes to capture the residual effects of the amazing sunset. My wife was with me and we enjoyed a little picnic on the...
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...
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...
Artist notes:Under tumultuous skies, an old pier quietly crumbles into the pacific. I had seen this old pier a hundred times, and knew that one day I wanted to shoot it when the conditions were right. Well, the day finally came where we got those brewing skies and I...
Artist notes:The scene before you was something of a miracle to capture. Many times when out shooting I tend to see something that strikes me as interesting. Once that happens, the danger involved with capturing the scene eludes my consciousness. And this was the...
