In a dark jungle, just after sunset, the leaves of this Maidenhair fern seemed almost to glow. It was worth stopping to capture them on my way to the car.

Images captured as a result of exploration in the beautiful village of Piti, Guam.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Emerald Valley lone tree
We spent part of Labor Day in the Emerald Valley near Piti. The landscape has changed since Typhoon Mawar came and went. Now this tree stands alone.
The last of the light
We were walking out of the jungle when I spotted this shaft of light coming through the trees. It provided depth to an otherwise flat, green chaos.
