Haleakala Sunset and Star Gazing-Maui Photographer
Aloha, My daughter was back from College in Oregon this past summer for 4 weeks. I had the chance to share with her one of my favorite Maui activities. Haleakala crater summit is approximately 10,000 ft up where the air is amazingly clean and clear. Perfect for watching a sunset and then star gazing once dark . Even though we are in Hawaii it is still very cold 10,000 [...]
Happy 4th of July Weekend
Aloha America, It's a very festive weekend on Maui with plenty of people out camping, surfing, and sightseeing. I will be shooting a wedding this weekend and Merriman's for my fun. We had a great little fireworks show here in Lahaina that packed everyone into front street. I took this image from up on the hill and added the moon. Kinda fun- John
Murray Maui Family Portrait-John Pierre’s
Aloha from the sunny tropics ... Maui has had a good stretch of sunny, still, albeit hot weather recently. Great for photography (i.e.- hair, dress, etc.) but warm. Luckily, a couple of fun summer swells has been gracing our south shores recently which is great to cool off in. Karen and Jason were back on Maui, with the whole family this time, so I set up another beach session [...]
Lunar Eclipse Maui Style
Aloha, I just had to share this ... I was wondering if I would get a clear shot as that night the winds were howling and the clouds and rain were making it so you would have literally 5 sec.to squeeze off a few shots and run for cover. Good fun though and love the effect. I think that is Saturn just above and to the right of the moon [...]
