In my portfolio images I mostly focus on landscapes and cityscapes, but you’ll also see a some architecture and street photography sprinkled in here from time to time. For me, sunrises and sunsets are the most beautiful times of each day. I cherish any experience I get to sit on a cliff overlooking a sunrise, on a beach watching the sunset, or watching a city skyline light up at dusk. I limit my portfolio to what I consider to be my Top 20 images, but you can find many more in my store as well. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy browsing around these images!

Makapuu Lighthouse at Sunrise

Sitting on the easternmost tip of Oahu, Hawaii is the Makapuu Lighthouse. Built in 1909, the lighthouse sits on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A 2 mile hike from the trailhead parking lot, getting here is easy but for the best views you must come for sunrise. No cell phones, no email, and no distractions. A vacation in Hawaii is not complete until you have experienced this slice of paradise. For this shot, Oahu Hawaii Sunrise Hike, the experience required a headlamp and plenty of hydration. The gates to the park are locked early in the morning before sunrise, so you might have to take your chances if you arrive too early. Once I arrived at the location, finding a spot on the side of the cliff was easy. No animals were around, only the smell and sound of the ocean, and the majestic sunrise peeking over the horizon.
