Title: Wainiha Bridge, Kauai

This past April I had the opportunity to explore the beautiful island of Kauai once again. Working on this project "A New Discovery - Black and White Infrared Landscapes of the Hawaiian Islands" has been a very important and meaningful project to me. In 2004, I set out to document some of the old historical structures and also to capture and preserve some of the breathtaking and untouched landscapes you'd find on the islands.
The old wooden "Wainiha Bridge" that I photographed in 2005 on the north shore was recently torn down and replaced with a galvanized steel truss bridge. The design of this new bridge is a real eye sore. I spoke to a number of locals regarding the new "look" of the bridge and not only were they sad about it ... but they were upset about the new
makeshift traffic lights that now hang by a wire over the steel bridge.
