Thanks, Karen. I was poking around in the bushes around the parking lot and I think my coworkers inside thought I was being a peeping Tom to the condos nextdoor.

Thanks Sharon and Tania.

Yes, Sharon, my photos are taken on Maui. I moved here 20 (yikes) years ago and have worked for the last 12 years designing (I use that word loosely) newspaper ads. With the newspaper world becoming more unstable I decided to get back to photography and digital just has me hooked. I've spent more than a decade making Photoshop composites of other people's images. Now I get to use mine.

(I've actually used the plumeria shot in two freelance graphic design jobs.) #6097849
