A Fabulously Frugal Christmas

My friend Kim recently started a blog called Fabulously Frugal Christmas and needed some photos, so my wife and I went over to her (elaborately decorated) house a couple of days ago for dinner and some shooting.

Giving Back With Photography

December 14, 2009
TikiTales (Judi Riley), Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.

It’s always fun meeting a Twitter friend IRL (In Real Life). About a week ago, I met Children’s book author Judi Riley at a book signing after we’d been tweeting for several months. She mentioned that she’s been hounded about getting an author photo for a while, but hasn’t been able to get to it. [...]

Wispy Makena Sunset, Maui, Hawaii.

Twitter and Flickr friend Andy Beal asked me to participate in the launch of a new site he was putting together called Photogler, where photographers could share how they captured and produced some of their best work. I think it’s a fabulous idea!
I enjoy teaching what I know about photography and holding workshops, so I [...]

Makena, Maui in HDR

November 18, 2009
Makena, Maui, Hawaii.

I don’t often shoot in the middle of the day because the light is usually too harsh. If I meter for the highlights, the shadows go black, and if I meter for the shadows, the highlights blow out. I looked out the window yesterday though, and saw some nice colors down toward Makena, along with [...]

Making A Difference For Our Oceans

Green Sea Turtle being Cleaned By Tangs, by Peter Liu Photography

Earlier this year, one of my Green Sea Turtle photos won the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s World Ocean Day Photo Contest on Flickr.
This photo is now part of the Aquarium’s “Take Action” campaign to encourage people to do something good for the oceans; in particular, to support National Ocean Policy.
Let’s all take a moment to think of ways [...]
