I love the patterns in shallow water and it’s a bonus when something, such as this turtle, add a twist to the image.

Not sure what kind of bromeliad this is. I had it labeled as a Dwarf Pineapple, but the more I looked at it, the less that seemed right. Not that it matters since it’s the colors and shapes that I was looking at.

I processed this photo, taken at a fishpond in Mauna Lani, a while ago. For the life of me, I can’t remember why I made two versions. The first is close to the original photo, but I must have produced the second when I was adjusting colors and liked it enough to keep it. I’m not sure I’m as taken with it now as I apparently was then.


A photo taken while snorkeling, looking up toward the light. This one doesn’t look a whole lot different in black and white.


I was taking photos of Tahitian Prawns in the stream at Hawai’i Tropical Bioreserve & Garden, but when I looked at them later, I mostly liked the abstract effect of the light and water. But, yes, there is a Tahitian Prawn in this photo.

The Harbor House restaurant sits on the shore next to Honokohau Harbor in Kailua Kona. The restaurant is open to the outdoors and has a wall of mirrors behind the serving counter. This is one reflection I saw in that wall.

Leaves float on the surface of one of the Mauna Lani fishponds on the South Kohala coast.

Like, dude, this is some kind of hippy tree, yeah?
