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:I arrived at Hanalei pier long before sunrise to scout the shot I wanted to capture from the beautiful location. Unfortunately, heavy rains were getting me pretty soaked and I didn’t want to stand there and wait for the light in the pouring rain....

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...
Artist notes:As if the view of these towering pali (cliffs) weren’t awe inspiring enough, an amazing colorful sunset just set the whole scene off. I think I’ve got every color in the rainbow represented in this shot. Taken on the North shore of Kaua‘i, Hawaii, this...
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 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...

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: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:As the sun gently sets into the Pacific, water rushes up the rocks at Napili Bay where I captured this quintessential Maui sunset shot. Everything came together to make this image really stand out. The lighting was perfect, the reflection of the sun on...
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...
