photo exhibit UC Berkeley campus, April 1-30

<p>My new photo exhibit, in both black-and-white and color, show the active steam vent at Mt. Kilauea, the caldera floor, and the surrounding rainforest on Hawai'i's Volcanoes National Park. The photographs were taken with an old Hasselblad film camera. Viva film!<br>

<p >Mt. Kilauea fascinated me: one single event changed the environment from tropical rainforest--lush, shaded, and humid--to hard stone, desert-like in its sparseness and bathed in brilliant light. Sparse as it was, the caldera floor was surprisingly colorful with small ohia trees, specially adapted for life among volcanoes, with red and orange blossoms and ferns growing in cracks in the rock. From a distance, the caldera floor looked uniformly dull and even. But up close, it became obvious this rock had once been liquid, waves forming as the magma cooled: a sea of stone.</p>
