Hawaii was and still is, a mystery to me. Why is it part of the United States? Why are people so infatuated with it? How did all of this amazing diversity of life get there? What’s the deal with the “shaka”? And why oh why, do men insist on wearing tacky shirts covered in flowers?
I left having more questions than answers. These photos attempt to fill in some of the gaps. Beth and I didn’t go to Maui to make photos. We went to see the island, or as much as we could cram into 10 days. As the plane landed, I wondered if I would even take my camera out at all. That turned out to be a ridiculous thought as the photos ended up making themselves. Having a beautiful model as my tour guide didn’t hurt either.

Telluride added one more festival to it’s calendar in 2010. The first annual Telluride Photo Festival aimed to bring photographers from different disciplines together in a beautiful location to learn, share and celebrate photography. Along with presentations, seminars and portfolio reviews, the festival also offered workshops. I was lucky enough to get a spot in Tim Kemple’s Commercial Photography class. Along with in-class learning, we went outside to photograph professional models in natural surroundings. Our trail running shoot revolved around model and professional athlete, Megan Lund. Megan was a pleasure to work with and never complained after literally running non-stop laps for two hours. Thank you Megan!
