The Southern Mountains
We don't spend a lot of time on the southern part of the island. Today we were hiking at Fouha Bay and stopped to take in the southern mountain views.
Inside Pågat caves
After many hikes to this location, I made my first image inside Pågat caves. I opened the shutter for two seconds, illuminating the scene with headlamps.
It tells a story
I’m not convinced every image must “tell a story,” but some can’t help it. This sea-hibiscus has fallen on the hiking trail. You know the rest.
Reaching for the sea
Deborah and I spent part of a recent day off walking to the old Hila’an village site near Tumon. I stopped to photograph this unusual piece of driftwood.
Wrapping up vacation
I’m happy with around 40 images taken during my vacation. I’ll be sharing many of them in an upcoming post. They are the result of ten sessions in Piti.
It’s coming together
This is one of the final images from my mahogany forest project. I've ordered sample prints and am now working on the preliminary book text and layout.
First time visitor
We visited Alutom Falls for the first time this weekend. After passing the trail leading there several times over the years, we finally made it this time!
Right on schedule
I've been on vacation for a week and my mahogany forest project is coming along nicely. Today I concentrated on broader scenes that provide context.
Vacation project
The mahogany forest in Piti has provided consistent photographic inspiration. I'm spending a portion of my vacation looking for intimate landscapes there.
Just a bit of rope
An early morning walk on the beach reveals items washed ashore by the ocean. In this case, a short piece of rope, perhaps of nautical use at some point.
Mahogany forest floor
This particular section of the Mahogany forest in Piti is littered with snail shells. Most are sun-bleached and partially buried in the dark brown soil.
World War II historical sites
This M4 Sherman tank is one of the more photographed relics from the World War II on Guam. I just visited the site for the first time a few months ago.
