The Haiku Compound

As I mentioned in the last post, I’m currently living on a 16 acre tropical estate filled with fruit, palms, art, artists, coffee, and (currently) mud. The property is owned by Mr. Tom Sewell who is providing me with a lovely cottage in exchange for help with his art work in his great studio. My cottage has an outdoor shower and is at the edge of a hill overlooking the valley. I sleep in a big window, just like a cat.
I’ve been working on various projects for Tom, including shooting him and his wife and their land for an article about them that was published in the Wall Street Journal. You can see the article with my photos! I also shot a photo of a fellow named Sumner Erdman who owns an 18,000 (eighteen thousand) acre ranch on the south side of the island that got the opening double page spread in the University of Washington alumni magazine Columns.
I’m also working on a few personal projects around the island. More on that later, though. Here’s some relevant pictures from Maui.

What’s going on?

So I had an old blog that I haven’t done much with in a while and with my new website (well, it was new a few months ago…) I figured what better time to start fresh.
“Hey Greg, what are you up to?” the reader asks…
Currently, I’m living in Haiku, Hawaii on the island of Maui working and living on a 16 acre “art estate” with a local artist and other helpers including my friend Mykle Coyne who has been teaching me about fashion photography and being a big deal. I met Mykle a couple months ago at a hostel in Hilo when we were both traveling around the Big Island of Hawaii and brought him along to the property with me. I’ve been traveling around the islands since August of this year. I spent about a month and a half on Oahu living in the unused apartment portion of my lovely cousin Morgan’s house, going to the beach, exploring, photographing. After that I had a short week on Maui followed by an incredible month long backpacking and hitchhiking outing on the Big Island, ending in my return to Maui where I’ve been stationed for about a month and a half.
So, now that we’re caught up, here’s what I’ve been working on. I’m going to start with some photos from Oahu and post some more in the following days.
