Just before the Lahaina and Kula fires, Maui gave no hint of impending tragedy. Instead, it was Maui As Usual: impossibly beautiful, from water's edge to the top of Haleakala.

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.
