Windward is a term used in the islands to refer to areas where the prevailing winds blow. These areas are wetter and more lush than the drier leeward shore. The windward side of Oahu is strikingly beautiful, with towering green slopes of the Koolau mountains, lush green valleys, waterfalls, rich agricultural areas, and a string of lovely beaches.

The tropical beauty of the windward side is INSANE and I absolutely fell in love with Oahu!  It feels like home to me.

Professional 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".
