‘Alau

Artist notes:This is one of my favorite shots from a full day of shooting. In fact, I pulled over to look out at the ocean here, and wasn’t even sure about shooting it, as I was so tired and my batteries were about drained, but thought it was too good to pass up....

Fading Light

Artist notes:This location is one of the most spectacular areas in South Maui.  It is extremely photogenic, and I have a thousand sunsets from this spot to prove it.  The night I shot this the sun set without any grand exit.  But then, just when I thought there wasn’t...

Hahalawe

Artist notes:I must have driven by this area a hundred times.  These falls are right off the side of the road, but hidden from view.  Most of the times that I’ve driven by there hasn’t been any water.  But on this particular day I drove out to a friend’s house near...

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...

Ho‘okipa Limu

Artist notes:When I went to this location to shoot the sunrise, this shot wasn’t on my radar.  But as I watched how the ocean was retracting to the sea, I saw this scene and it captivated my attention.  I spent awhile playing with different apertures and trying to get...

Iho

Artist notes:This is the shot that almost didn’t happen.  As I approached this location, I could see the clouds setting up nicely for an epic sunset.  And the way the light was bouncing off the rocks in the foreground was magical.  The problem was that there was a...

Kepuhi Twilight

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...

Koele Serenity

Artist notes:I love water and waterfalls.  Shooting them with medium to small apertures and getting the gentle silky water look is so calming to me.  This shot is of a small waterfall nestled far up in the hills of Lana’i, Hawai’i.  It’s one of those “blink and you’ll...

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...

La‘i

Artist notes:These sea swept black lava rocks are sprinkled on turquoise waters of the North Shore of Maui, Hawaii.  The green limu growing on the rocks adds a nice contrast to the dark rocks.  When I shot this image there were some pounding waves in the distance....

La Perouse

Artist notes:Off the South coast of Maui there is an area called “LaPerouse.”  It is literally at the end of the road.  If you were to hike beyond there, eventually you would come to an area where giant rocks thrust themselves up out of the sea.  The jagged lava rock...

Mala

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...
