I spent a good portion of my life in the tropical areas of the world. Hawaii being one of the longest spots I've resided - for nearly 5 years. The character of the tropics is surreal - the Pacific, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Med, Malaysia and even Florida make up some of the most photo-worthy places on Earth. I am mostly attracted to interesting color palettes and light. These pictures are reflective of the unique variation of color as seen in the tropics - including saturation and interactions at the seams - of the natural tropical world with that which is obviously man-made but inspired by nature in those areas.
