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…

I was so thrilled when I learned that Brooke had also modeled for my friend Clay Lipsky. I had never met Brooke prior to Zoefest 2022 but I had heard lovely things about working with her. This shoot with Brooke was one of the few days I worked with the rock face on Kauai. It…

Black & White in a Land of Color

The color in Kauai is not like home. It is so vibrant and saturated. It is overwhelming. It demands that you pay attention. Trying to pre visualize in black and white is a challenge, but sometimes the color vibrance lends itself to some very rich mid tones. We have a new exhibit opening in April….

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…

It was the first time that Merrique and I had worked together. It was a day filled with magic. There is something about the land and sea that seeps into one’s brain. I cannot actually put it into words, but it affects the creative spirit.
