After a week of visiting my family on Kauai, I head back to New York today. I’ve had a brief reprieve from single-digit temperatures and a chance to “stretch the legs” of my camera—which is so used to tight, up-close merchandise shots. Above, a photo of Makaleha, visible from my father’s front deck. Roughly translated “to gaze in wonder,” Makaleha is the smaller sister of the larger Mount Waialeale, “the wettest spot on Earth.”
