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: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: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 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: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...
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: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: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:Some say Hawai’i has no change of seasons. That’s not exactly true. Although they may be less noticeable than in many other areas of the world, we still get our seasons. This shot was taken in the early spring in an area called Kipahulu, Maui. The...
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...
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: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....
