While exploring the island of Molokai, I saw these six coconut palm trees blowing in the trade winds. I believe these palms are part of the ancient Hawaiian coconut grove planted in the 1860's during the reign of King Kamehameha V. The King, nicknamed Kapuaiwa, selected this particular site because of the seven sacred ponds located there.
In the far distance, you can see the island of Lanai.

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".
