It has been my privilege to take workshops from some wonderful photographers. The annual workshop on Molokai has given me the chance to work with Dewitt Jones, Rik Cooke, and Jack Davis. They gently allow photographers to push the edges of their art. This gallery is a result of that inspiration. Jack is beyond enthusiastic about what we have come to call "drive-by's" which is the process of taking pictures with a moving camera. The camera moves either because you move it as you take the shot, or because the car you are in is moving while you take the shot. At first I thought this a "fun" activity and was impressed by the images others were making. But two years ago Dewitt shared some "drive-by's" that he took as he was driving in Yosemite and I was blown away. I love trees and have been trying to find a way to capture that love in my images. His images of the trees of Yosemite got at the spirit of trees and showed me another tool that I might use to produce images that came close to how I felt about trees. The photographer William Neal ( http://www.williamneill.com/ ) has a beautiful gallery called "Impressions of Light" which also explores this technique. The gallery doesn't have a direct link and can be found in the "New Work" section of his portfolios. This gallery is a collection of images that I feel get at a part of the spirit of Molokai. (The first few were taken on Oahu) They also include some infa-red images which also seem, in a ghostly way, to capture the spirit of this magical place. |
