Capturing the Raw Beauty of the Big Island of Hawaii while sharing the Aloha spirit
Every photograph comes with a story
This picture found me, unlike most images I create which require some form of seeking. For this shot, all that it required was to have my camera with me and a place to safely park my car off the highway. It was an early morning just before the sun rose along the north side of Mauna Kea. The residual lingering of VOG helped to paint the dawn sky an unusual pallet of red.
It was only moments after when I got back into my car to continue driving to work that the colors dissipated and changed the landscape altogether. Was this a mirage? It is moments like these that I feel blessed to witness and capture what my eyes have the privilege to feast on. A truly gratifying, fleeting moment of natural perfection.
