$1,400 Unframed

Along Maui's rugged eastern coastline is the peaceful town of Hana, considered one of the last unspoiled Hawaiian frontiers.  The legendary road to Hana is only 52 miles from Kahului, however the drive can take anywhere from two to four hours to complete since it is filled with narrow one-lane bridges, hairpin turns and incredible island views.

I absolutely loved staying in Hana.  The flourishing rain forests and waterfalls are spectacular.  It reminded me of when I lived on Kauai's north shore years ago.  It has that slow-paced, true Hawaiian ambiance and it is a great place to "talk story" with the locals.  The natural beauty of the Hana experience will take you back in time and give you an idea of what the rest of Maui was like 30 years ago.

Professional matting and framing is available for an additional charge.

This work was created by using an old manual SLR film camera and Kodak Professional High-Speed HIE Black-and-White Infrared Negative Film.  Sadly, the film is no longer being manufactured.  The traditional negative is scanned on a drum scanner to create a 300 megabyte digital file which serves as a vehicle for the color balancing, lighting, and darkening that was formerly done in the darkroom.  Once the aesthetic interpretation is realized in the computer and matched with the artist proof print created in the traditional "wet" darkroom, the image is then printed on fully archival paper.  This piece is part of an award-winning series called "A New Discovery".
