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.

Where America’s day begins and my island-home in the Pacific since July of 2015.
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.
Recently fallen
The jungle floor is covered in leaf litter. I usually search for color and contrast within the various shades of brown. Yesterday I found some in Piti.
In jungle shadows
A dark section of jungle on the Sella River leads to bright, sunny Sella Bay. Its contrast makes this area beautiful and exceedingly difficult to photograph.
