Hawaii is, for me, the one place on the planet where I feel at home. I can be myself. My hair is long, my clothes are casual and my attitude is generally "Live & Let Live". I wear slippahs, cargo shorts and t-shirts sporting the names of hard rock bands from the 80's that I still listen to on a daily basis.

I have lived on the island of Hawaii since 1990. Many years in Kona, a few years in Waimea and the rest of my years will be in Mountain View, tucked away in the rainforest.

Some days I am self-employed and others I am self-unemployed. During those self-unemployed days I usually grab my camera and head out to Volcanoes National Park, the ocean or some other unknown destination.

I have been exploring the island enthusiastically with my camera for the past 6 years and have always enjoyed photography. The problem is that I was never very good at it until I had finally spent 100s of hours practicing. Those 100s of hours taught me how to slow down, become observant and enjoy the process.

I look forward to experiencing the future I have chosen for myself as a photographer and I invite you to visit Hawaii. While you are here slow down, become observant and enjoy the process.

Almost forgot, my name is Tony.
