"Far Away, So Close" Kaena Point, Oahu Kaena Point is a land like no other place on Oahu. This protected tip of the island has so much diversity, from oceanfront nesting grounds for albatross to steep, crumbling cliffs. In this photograph, the landscape could easily be mistaken for New England.

These are the photographs that are currently on display at the Peggy Chun Gallery through December 10, 2010. Please come out to see the show!

Evan Rapoport > "Painted Shores"
Hanalei Bay, Kauai

The morning sun highlights the spectacular colors of limu and corals along the coastline on Kauai’s north shore. Sea turtles will frequent these areas to feed on the limu, clean themselves, and rest.

Kaena Point, Oahu

Kaena Point is a land like no other place on Oahu. This protected tip of the island has so much diversity, from oceanfront nesting grounds for albatross to steep, crumbling cliffs. In this photograph, the landscape could easily be mistaken for New England.

Evan Rapoport > "Inevitably Blue"
Lanikai Beach, Oahu

As the sun rises over the Mokulua Islands (Moku Nui shown here), it paints the ocean in brilliant shades of yellow and orange for a few short minutes. Soon after this photograph was taken, that palette yielded to Lanikai’s relentless greens and blues.

Evan Rapoport > "Power"
Kaihalulu Beach, Hana, Maui

Part waterfall, part stormy sea, this oceanscape exudes the force of the waves that have broken through the few remaining stands of rocks that dare stand in the way. The red sand beaches that surround this scene make the blue-green water glow in contrast.

Evan Rapoport > "Soul Surfer"
Sandy Beach, Oahu

The sculpted, chaotic beauty of waves can be easily missed when the eye is blinded by impossible shades of blues and greens. When the colors fade away, we can see what surfers feel... the soul of the wave.

Evan Rapoport > "A Journey Ends"
Koki Beach, Hana, Maui

A wave gently washing ashore comes into your awareness at the moment its long journey reaches an end.

Evan Rapoport > "Squint"
Hilo, Island of Hawaii

Next time you see striking contrasts of colors, such as a torch ginger plant, squint your eyes and shake your head. Experience the colors, watch the textures reveal themselves, and see the world like you’ve never seen it before.

Evan Rapoport > "Expectations"
Kaihalulu Beach, Hana, Maui

If you believe that some color combinations don’t coexist in nature, then it’s time for you to go exploring! The red sand on this beach, formed by the crumbling cinder cone around it, meets the ocean surf to create color contrasts that boggle the mind.

Evan Rapoport > "Inner Peace"
Volcanoes National Park, Island of Hawaii

Amongst the vast, barren landscape of lava rocks where waves crash into newly-formed volcanic land, a man finds a priceless moment alone to reflect on the beauty of the world.

Evan Rapoport > "Morning Paddle"
Kailua Bay, Oahu

A lone paddler crosses Kailua Bay on a pristine morning shortly after sunrise. One of the two iconic Mokulua Islands (Moku Nui) stands prominently on the horizon.

Evan Rapoport > "On the Ranch"
Lanai City, Lanai

If you’ve never been to the island of Lanai, then you might not guess this seen is in Hawaii. At an elevation well over one thousand feet, the ranches surrounding Lanai City have cool, crisp, evening air, perfect for walking in the woods and horseback riding.

Evan Rapoport > "Moving Mountains"
Kawela Bay, North Shore of Oahu

Enormous winter waves crash like thunder into the bay on the North Shore of Oahu, painted in orange by the setting sun.

Evan Rapoport > "Perpetual Wind"
The Pali Lookout, Oahu

For thousands of miles over the ocean, the trade winds blow unimpeded until suddenly the Ko’olau mountains force them upwards at incredible speeds. The mighty trees that bravely stand atop these peaks are constantly battered, bending and twisting so as to reveal the true force of the power of nature.

Evan Rapoport > "Last Call"
Waikiki, Oahu

Long after the lineup has cleared out and the beaches have emptied, passion keeps a select few in the ocean. They ignore the setting sun and welcome the darkness that brings the uncrowded waves they dream of.

Evan Rapoport > "Honu at Rest"
Kahuwai Bay, Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii

Settling into position on a volcanic black sand beach, this Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, or “honu”, needs its rest before heading back out to sea. Turtles are migratory animals that travel thousands of miles in the open ocean. Their anatomy has hardly changed in millions of years, since the time of the dinosaurs.

Kaena Point, Oahu

Kaena Point is a land like no other place on Oahu. This protected tip of the island has so much diversity, from oceanfront nesting grounds for albatross to steep, crumbling cliffs. In this photograph, the landscape could easily be mistaken for New England.
