Cliff diving at the End of The World, Hawaii. I took this one about 1/2 second before realizing that Max was going to be swept into a lava tube by overhead surf, or as locals like to call it, a drowning. Miraculously, he was able to grab a rock in time to pull himself to safety. Max was a three finger grasp on a slippery rock away from certain death. Max is a super hero. All I could do was make this photograph. A trembling-death-grip-just-saw-a-ghost-get-made kind of snapshot.

As we were racing to the summit to get our camp set up before nightfall, I happened to glance into the rear view mirror to this view. This is just a handheld snap I took while hanging out the window of a moving vehicle. In hindsight, there are some minor exposure changes I would have made—a tripod would have been lovely too—but time isn’t always on our side as photographers. I am so in love with this island.
