Your Bio

Aloha, Hoaloha... e komo mai.

Welcome to my photo galleries. My subject matter includes the beaches, mountains, and rain forests of Maui; what I loosely refer to as "Island Culture", and the natural history of the island. The most popular galleries are about Maui's plant life..

Speaking of which, recently I started a blog about the plant life of Maui and the Hawaiian Islands. It's called THE MAUI PLANT CHRONICLES. It is a blend of scientific content and easy reading. It includes more overtly technical and scientific content than this website; there's a bit more verbiage accompanying my photographs, but this blog is NOT meant to be a scholarly work... I'm just indulging my "Inner Scientist." I hope some of my Smugmug visitors will also stop by to view the blog.

--------

The MAPS of Maui you see at the beginning of each of the "regional" galleries are intended to clarify what I mean when I use phrases like "west Maui", "east Maui, "south Maui.", and "north Maui."

--------

I know that there's nothing "Hawaiian" about the "My Travels Before Digital Cameras" gallery, but it has a place on this site: It contains photos of all the places I looked at and "tried out" before I finally settled on Maui.

--------

As always, you're welcome to copy any image in my galleries; if you use one on a personal or commercial website (or in any other medium), I hope you will give me credit as the photographer.

Mahalo nui loa! Malama aina.
