All images are created equal, some are just more equal than others. These are a specific selection of photographs that speak to Aaron more personally for various reasons.

The Milky Way blazes over head on a beautiful summer night in Hanalei. A long exposure and light painting make capturing this scene possible.

As I stood below this tree and wondered in it's greatness I needed a way to convey this to the viewer. Using a 2 minute exposure I was able to capture the clouds moving by just in the perfect position.

Kalalau is an almost mythical place. Only accessible by hiking 11 miles or kayaking 6 miles it offers a truly unique experience for the mind, body and soul. While setting up camp on the first night I was alerted to the rising moon and went out to see what was out there. To photograph the entire scene I stitched 11 images together to get this 180 degree view. The moon rising was the icing on the cake!

A surreal grove of Rainbow Eucalyptus trees glowing after morning rains. As the bark peels the trunks change color, nature doing its own paint-by-number.

An unusually clear morning over Hanalei Bay. While standing there in the morning light I wanted to give the viewer a sense that they were standing there with me and decided to capture this unique perspective.

Polihale is one of the more spectacular beaches in Hawaii. A part of the longest stretch of sand in the islands, the north end also begins the Na Pali coast. To show the true expanse of the beach I captured a 180 degree panorama to bring the viewer right along side me as I captured the image.

I'm really not sure where to start with this image. This is the end. The end of a 3 day expedition to the bottom of Waimea Canyon on Kauai's west side. Mark Twain called Waimea Canyon the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. I've never been to the Grand Canyon but have seen photos (yea that sounded lame) and I'll take the color of Waimea any day :P The hike out of the canyon is intense. Almost 3000 vertical feet in about 3 miles. Sections of the trail are nearing 30 degrees. This normally would just be just hard work...now add rain. Lots of rain. After getting to the top of one of the longest steep sections of the trail the rain broke. We stopped to have a drink and snack and then it happened. Clouds started lifting. If this was the only image I got in the 3 day trip I would have been stoked (luckily there are a LOT more). The fresh rain caused the colors to become super saturated and the clouds a mystical feel to the scene. Watching the clouds move over the ridge to our right the rest of the hike, approx 1.5mi, was done in the heaviest rain I've ever hiked in.
