Mission Beach is calling you….

It’s the night before 2024, and the ocean was restless in the twilight of home, and what to my wondering eyes see in the forecast? Two more photographers to join us in April! Who will it be? Might be it’s you. I believe it must be. To thee! To Thee! I really apologize for my…

A year after 2022 in Kauai

Sometimes one steps back from images long enough and come back to them with fresh eyes. This really isn’t what I did at all. I found myself on a new roaming art circuit with Photo Independent showing my work in Milan and LA, finishing up my newly published monograph of my Polaroid Type 85 solarized…

The river

Wandering up to the river this scene captivated me with the light filtering through the forest. The grass was so tall it almost feels like a fairy wonderland, at least to me.   We utilized my drone for this rock circle in the middle of the river which felt rather Celtic in nature. Please click…

The last time Brooke and I made photos in Kauai our luck wasn’t oh so great. I love the photos we created in 2016, but there were complications with a mean lady that shortened our day of making them. 2022 made up for all that. We found such a serene location and took our time…

  Zen garden in the front, surfers to the left and silence to photograph to the right of it all. Somewhere in the middle on the way back were these trees. I love that I found a spot in the water that looks like an eye. Anne held her poses on the pupil of it…

This location is always a gift that keeps on giving. I spent the whole week here. Lovely being in a locals only non-touristy location where no one is bothered by our photography because no one is around. Mahalo, Kauai. Cheyanne met Eva and I around 3pm and we blasted off after much welcome good news…

My second day started out with my roomie, Eva. We decided to use the room (or at least I did), to wait for Cheyanne to return from her unlikely adventure to the south of the Island. It was a calm gentle way for me to start the day after the dizzies I got on day…

An otherworldly afternoon with Cheyanne

| ZoeFest20

This was a test on my agility. Exactly one month and 3 days after brain surgery I decided to hike up a rock pile next to a river. I did it, but it was out of arrogance to my equilibrium. Eventually the equilibrium won out and Chey and I went back to the resort and…
