A Date with Madame Pele
It’s a tick after 4:45 AM, and Captain Kanoa and First Mate Kainoa have just launched the 25-foot Moku Nui into the inky-black waters of Pohoiki Bay – an amazing surf spot by day that makes launching and retrieving a boat a challenging proposition, especially in the...

I’ve had several requests lately for smaller pieces, that could be displayed on a kitchen or bathroom counter, on a living room shelf, or at work on a desk – small reminders of Hawai’i, and those special scenes we love so much, but in a size that doesn’t take up much...
Gallery Glass
I’ve always been enthralled with the idea of images infused into glass – that gentle glow with early morning light, the intensity of the image at the peak of day, and the moodiness of the low translucency in the evening. That idea never really existed, until now. I’m...

Dealing with Photographic Frustration
A few weeks ago, I had an argument with the coefficient of friction and gravity (read: slipped and fell). Gravity won big time: Made a trip to the ER, got a bunch of bone pix shot, was picked over and prodded, then sent home with a diagnosis (badly sprained wrist,...
