Taonga Glass Highlights

While living in Hawaii, I had the opportunity to shoot in the Taonga Glass studio with Edward (Ted) Clark. Ted is a sculptor working out of Oahu, HI, but often travels across the Pacific to Seattle for building up his stock of glass. His work is featured in galleries throughout the United States and often holds very interactive workshops in his studio on Oahu. I wanted to share some of the highlights from the photo sessions that we had in his studio.

Panoramic Series #12: Kualoa Ranch

Stepping back in time and pulling up photos from my Hawaii archive, I found this shot of the ko'olau mountains on Kualoa Ranch, which is where films like Jurassic Park, Windtalkers and Pearl Harbor were filmed as well as parts of TV series like LOST and Hawaii 5O. In a beautiful horse pasture nestled between these shear cliffs of the ko'olaus and the white sands of the Pacific Ocean, a heard of horses wait for the sun to break through the clouds as the early spring rains begin to subside. The lush greenery reminds me of how much rain is constantly falling out on those little islands in the middle of the Pacific.
