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 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...
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 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: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: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...
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: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...
