Smear Campaign: Drive-By Botany; Maui, April 2019
Ceilings of lush foliage and murals of vibrant blooms surround Maui motorists. Bright colors beside and overhead form kaleidoscopic tunnels. Leaves, petals, branches, trunks, and colors are smeared by drive-by slow-shutter speeds. These smears more accurately depict the essence of Maui driving than would razor-sharp "stills."

Comments
After a lifetime of mainly expressing myself with words, my postings here will mainly rely on images. They will speak for themselves to some extent, but I'll usually add a few comments of explanation. I've taken photographs for decades, since the 1950's, inspired in part by my father's photographic skill. Four years of photo assignments and quality darkroom time eventually gave way to decades of casual and family picture-taking. I re-immersed myself when I left film and turned to digital.
