I just thought this photo was interesting- the way the people were dressed

I thought this was just a great photo.This girl was named Lillie.

I thought these two pictures were really interesting- it was a man that would make REAL mattresses.Tom said that he would go and cut the hair off his sheep on the farm to put inside and would hand stitch them together.

This is the infamous Chloe Mons

Chloe Mons is one of Toms greatest friends, his muse, and was once his lover. They consider their love story together as a "Manage e' trois" (french word meaning three lovers)- the three being Tom, Chloe and the camera. They would travel the world taking pictures of Chloe nude-everywhere. Their journey lasted around three years. They have now decided to make a book about their story together.Chloe flew in last week to come look at the photographs and to decide which ones should go into the book. So my job has been to digitize the thousands of negatives he has of her in his archive. (I will probably have to do this with all of his archive-which is ALOT). I find it very interesting-its as if I am along on this journey seeing different countries and cultures from twenty years ago. It really is an amazing thing- im really excited to move on in the archive and learn more.

New York Times

So, Tom got commissioned to do another New York Times Shoot.. It was for the travel section of the newspaper about stargazing programs. The Hyatt Regency here on Maui has a very well known star gazing program. We got to go down and help him with the shoot. It was very exciting , not only to be apart of the photography end but also to look through the massive telescopes! I was very excited to be shooting with Michael and Tom as their assistant and to learn more about camera settings at night, as well as how to light faces.

Photoshoot

Not that great of a shot- I just like the concept-thanks to jimbo

While out on our adventure with our friend, she decided that she wanted pictures taken of her. She was only going to have this body once, why not have photos with it. I love taking pictures of people, it's my favorite thing to do. So that is what we did-lots of them! It was fun to learn how to play around with the natural lighting.-she might kill me for putting these up!

Randoms

This was on a bathroom stall. I thought it was hilarious-and a piece of art

This tree is called a Rainbow tree- you can see why.Its pretty spectacular that this it what it naturally looks like. Its weird to see bark like this.






This was in the bamboo forest

These are some more photos that were taken while we were out adventuring. Everyday I am in amazement with the different species of plants that are on this island. They are unlike anything I have ever seen.I feel that everything is so graphic here, the landscapes, the signs and even the people.
