HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN

Some of the happiest times in my career were the years I photographed the people and sights of Hawaii during my days with the Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

After setting out on my first airline flight with everything I owned in two foot lockers to a place I had never been before, the adventure began.

Even though I cover major world events today, I believe my images during my stay in Hawaii had more immediate impact. Stories which chronicled the lives and problems of everyday families oftentimes brought immediate results.

I became Chief Photographer for that daily paper enjoying surfing in the morning and covering the news the rest of the day. After being recruited by Ted Majeski and Ray Maroney at UPI to come to work for them, I accepted a job with UPI in Sacramento, California as Newspicture Bureau Manager.

Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. It is a shield-type volcano that makes up the southeastern side of the Big Island of Hawaii. The volcano rises 4,190 feet above sea level. The summit caldera contains a lava lake known as Halema`uma`u that is said to be the home of the Hawaiian volcano goddess, Pele.
