I’m lucky enough to have some great friends who live in Maui. I would honestly hitchhike to Missouri to visit these people, but they’ve made it extra easy on me by living in an amazing tropical beauty-scape.
While I love the beach, I’m not really designed for it. I burn easily and am attracted to shade. I work in a low-light room doing web layouts all day and am statistically more likely to be inspired by an artist’s rendering of a beach than by the beach itself… Eventhough my desk is about two blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Oh - and I’m ok with that.
So it is with this self acceptance that on my vacation I journeyed inland from the beaches of Maui and looked for the expressions and visual tokens of people who need to build a life and career first and hit the beach second… or third.

(It’s a Flash slideshow… sorry iPhones).
On a technical note, these photos are shot on Fuji Provia iso100 color reversal film processed in C-41 chemicals. See “cross processed” or the slang “x-pro”. I have some digital photos as well which I’ll post in a separate slide show.
Aloha.
