In appreciation of waves
I thought I’d post an image of a beautiful wave today, just to take a moment to appreciate that it is the actual waves that many of us base our lives around. Surfers, photographers, fishermen, etc. Today, I present you a moment of beautyfrom non other than Ha’atafu Beach in Tonga. It’s a beautiful little [...]
Spare a thought for the dolphins in Japan
Friends, It’s saddening to hear of these dolphin slaughters that are carried out in the Japanese fishing village of Taiji, year after year. The fishermen view the millions of concerned peoples of the world as outsiders, sticking our noses in where it isn’t welcome, but if we all stuck our noses into them, maybe we [...]
Hawaii’an Spinner Dolphins
folks, I love these little guys. I’ve only had occasion to run into them just a few times over the years. You don’t see them too often here on the north shore, but at certain times of the year they can return sometimes on a daily basis. This particular day, there were dozens and dozens [...]
Awesome new botanic images added
I’ve taken a bit of an interest in botanics lately and just the other day, I noticed these cool plants near where I live and so I went back there yesterday and photographed a bunch of pretty cool images which I’ve added to my botanics collection. As with most of my images, these are also [...]
Beautiful Tahiti’an- like conditions on Oahu
Here in Hawaii, the trade winds blow almost year round from the Nth east, which is great in the hot summer months, but it also means that the wind is always onshore over on the east side of the island, so you rarely get to see the true beauty of the east side because of [...]
Wave of the day – “Aqua-blade”
Folks; todays picture of the day comes to you from the ever-amazing Pupukea sandbar, on the north shore. Every year usually around Feb-March, tons of sand gets pushed into the beach at Pupukea, between Pipeline and Rocky Point. During these months, the sand gets groomed into a long series of hollow sandy beach breaks. This [...]
Gliding underwater with turtles
A lot of folks visit the islands to see the huge surf during our winter months, but just as many people visit the north shore to see what else is out here, during the summer months in particular. Just about anywhere along the north shore, you can throw on a snorkel and mask and be [...]
Leopard Peak
OK folks, time for another random wave, this one coming at you from Gas Chambers, next to Rocky Point , on the north shore of Oahu . I titled this one: “Leopard Peak” because of the leopard skin like pattern in the wave’s foreground. And like most off season days here on the north shore, [...]
Hawaiian rainbows are very cool.
One very cool thing about Hawaii is the localized rain activity that we get here. It can be totally sunny where you are and yet, just a mile down the road , it could be an absolute deluge of torrential rain. It’s all about the prevailing winds mostly and where they direct the clouds to. [...]

The cat that could have the fish, if he wanted it
I was at my neighbor Josh‘s place the other day and his cat was scoping out the fish bowl. Now that was a cliche that I was keen to capture on my camera The funny thing is the cat didn’t want to eat the fish. He just likes to drink the water from the bowl. [...]
Picture of the day; Pipe Turtle
This was the very first ever picture that I made of a turtle. I was swimming at Pipeline one day and noticed this turtle cruising by and so I dove down and squeezed off just one fabulous frame of fujichrome Velvia. This is still one of my favorite Turtle images, despite that fact that I [...]

Critters
For today’s post, I thought I’d just do something completely different, so I’m throwing the focus on our friends in the animal world. I love to photograph animals although I don’t seem to do it so much. Here are some of my more favourite critter personalities. If you dig these animals and want to get [...]
Under water, friendly face of the day
I love getting into the water here in Hawaii. It’s just about always really clear under there and usually some cool stuff going on with fish, turtles or just waves. It’s absolutely therapy for me, especially when I start my day off with it. This particular image, I shot over at Laniekea, these days known [...]

A magic Hawaii’an moment
Yesterday afternoon had the most amazing light show go down, over Rocky point. I had rocked up to maybe shoot some action on the long lens, but it was pretty standard fair. Not really a lot going on. I look over to the east to see the blackest sky with a mean bright rainbow doing [...]

New Canon 7D; First water trials look very promising
I just rigged up my housing to take the new Canon 7D, so I could specifically test the new 60fps video feature. Because the video buttons have been relocated on the 7D, I was only able to film one long clip, from the moment that I pressed the button and sealed the water housing, so [...]
An inquisitive South Pacific Booby Bird, in flight
I did a trip a few years ago to a somewhat secret group of surfing islands in the south Pacific. while there, we visited a completely uninhabited island which had dozens of nesting Booby birds situated on it. The birds were quite inquisitive, not really having much of a fear of humans, so sometimes they [...]
