Whales of Hawaii

There is a special time each year on Maui when I get to spend time with some old friends, the Humpback Whales. Between Christmas and Valentine’s Day is the height of our whale season. About a thousand of the giant, magnificent creatures come hang out, frolic, give birth, and mate in the warm, near-shore waters of Maui.

I have become rather comfortable carrying my camera and lenses out in my kayak to photograph these fellows up close. Some days are magical — as newborne calves approach me quietly with curiosity as the 65 foot mom keeps a close eye.

Other days are active with breaching and tail-slapping, and fin-waving. It can be a life-changing experience to witness these animals up close. I have many stories to tell.
