Christmas Eve on Maui…..

This afternoon was fantastic. I found my creative “zone” for a good hour, or more. Christmas Eve afternoon is sort of like the 2 hours before Thanksgiving dinner. There is anticipation, relaxation, and a sense of care-free-ness.

Today the wind was strong and steadily blowing the north shore mist around the mountains to the leeward side. From 7am till 6pm there was a rainbow; not just a rainbow, but a rainbow of legendary brilliance. It was there like a rock, all day long.

So at 4pm i finally heard the voice in my mind to out and shoot photos! I hiked up into the cow pasture behind my house and filled a 4 gig card completely.

As a professional, I need to grab my camera and got shoot as much as I can. But to tell your family that you are heading out to go “look for rainbows” sounds lame. Chasing rainbows for a living?

It works for me! Merry Christmas!
