While exploring the western part of the island of Molokai, I came upon this lone tree standing in a vast open field.  Hawaii's fifth-largest island, Molokai is only 38 miles long and 10 miles across at its widest point. 

Molokai is known as the "Friendly Isle".  The island is quite simple, and as such is not the typical Hawaiian tourist destination. There are no traffic lights, no dry cleaners and no tall buildings. The local night life is more akin to small town America than to that of Waikiki or even Lahaina.  There are no crowds and Moloka'ians guard their laid-back lifestyle with pride.

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 tonal 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".
