This is an old pier on Maui that just begged me to take its photo. Aperture: ƒ/11 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 40mm ISO: 100 Shutter speed: 1/160s
Another photo of the Bamboo forest found around mile marker 7 on the Road to Hana in Hawaii. Aperture: ƒ/9 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 10mm ISO: 1600 Shutter speed: 1/15s
This is a shot I took while wandering within a bamboo “forest” on the island of Maui, Hawaii. This isn’t the place most people think of when they talk about the bamboo forest on Maui. That forest is found on the Pipiwai trail on the backside of the Road to Hana. This particular bamboo forest is…
This is Fagan’s Cross, found at the top of Lyon’s hill in Hana, Hawaii. While the view from the top of the hill was spectacular, I thought this photo of the road leading to the cross was the most interesting shot I got while there. Aperture: ƒ/11 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 12mm…
A closeup shot of one of the beautiful rainbow eucalyptus trees found on the side of the Road to Hana. Aperture: ƒ/11 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 250mm ISO: 100 Shutter speed: 1/30s
Another sunset from the top of Mount Haleakala. The structures on the left are massive telescopes. Aperture: ƒ/22 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 15mm ISO: 100 Shutter speed: 1/4s
These are some of the female hula dancers at the Old Lahaina Luau. The show was better than the food, and the food was pretty darn good. Aperture: ƒ/1.4 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 30mm ISO: 1600 Shutter speed: 1/160s
The setting sun from the top of mount Haleakala, 10,000 feet above sea level. It is astounding how cold it gets as you drive up from the base of the mountain. The temperature drops from 87 degrees Fahrenheit at the base, to 45 degrees at the summit. But the view… Simply amazing. Aperture: ƒ/22 Camera:…
As can be inferred by the title, I took this photo while enjoying an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner at the Old Lahaina Luau. The food was good and the dancing, set to the theme of the history of the hula dance, was entertaining. The only thing missing was the more flamboyant fire dancing that can be…
On September 11, 2001, four commercial passenger planes were used as missiles to kill nearly 3,000 people. I took this particular photo in 2006 at the five year anniversary of one of the most horrific tragedies in American history, and my life. As a lifelong New Yorker, with a family history here going back more than five…
This is a natural, heart-shaped cutout in the lava rocks near Nakalele Blowhole in Maui, Hawaii. Aperture: ƒ/8 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 85mm ISO: 100 Shutter speed: 1/40s
Taken during my trip to Hawaii in August. This is a section of the coast on the road called the “Backside” of the Road to Hana. Basically, when most people journey down the Road to Hana in Maui, they stop at Hana (or the Pools at Oheo slightly past Hana) and then turn around and…
This is the Byodo-In Temple in Oahu, Hawaii. My family and I just returned from our vacation in Hawaii and I have a whole lot of photographs to sort through and process for upload. Over the course of the next few weeks I’ll be posting dozens of photos from my trip for the world to…
Taken in Tarragona, Spain back in 2011. This is a very nice town, with some interesting sites to see, but for some reason this one bridge really caught my eye. I just love the crisscross shadows and almost tunnel-like feeling one gets as you stand on one side of the bridge and gaze across at…
Some graffiti that I found while wandering in Williamsburg in 2010. Aperture: ƒ/9 Camera: Canon EOS 7D Focal length: 30mm ISO: 200 Shutter speed: 1/320s
This was taken way back in 2005 while I was working in Cannes, France. This guy was the chef/waiter for my group of workmates and he took running his restaurant very seriously. Almost as seriously as he took his national pride. He disliked us immediately upon hearing my good friend (who was born in France but…
