As I sort though images, and look at some of my more recent landscape work, I feel I have a tendency to look at the land in the abstract (if you will). I like sprawling hills and wide vistas, but sometimes it's the details, in the rocks and water, these smaller landscapes within the whole that interest me. And when I photograph these details, I reduce the factual information such as "where" and "place" to the nuances of the water moving in the space or the rocks that curl on the cliff. These images speak more about individual elements than broad landscape photographs. It's fun to think about.
The color in this image hasn't been twisted...Maui has a tendency to be full of color and saturation. Some of the greens in the trees and leaves literally jump out of the image. I suppose it's the nature of a tropical climate. This is a fun little aside to look at some of the volcanic rocks that made the island. More to follow...
