  St. John's Episcopal Church
  by Sharon Mau

  At a 3000 foot elevation overlooking the valley isthmus below and Mauna Kahalawai, the West Maui Mountains, the view, and especially sunsets from this lovely church are very beautiful. Jacob and I attended the Founders Day Chinese Dinner yesterday evening. Many of the people we enjoyed fellowship and dinner with last night are members of our Ohana and friends. My husband Jacob Mau is Kanaka Maoli, he is indigenous Hawaiian, born here on Maui and raised in Kaupo, and he is also of Chinese heritage and a direct descendant of the founders of this church. Keokea Upcountry Kula Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “St. John’s was founded in 1900 by a group of Chinese immigrants under the direction of The Reverend Shim Yin Chin. Father Shim served as educator, chatechist and news reporter to the Chinese farmers of Kula. In 1907, the present structure was finished and was used both as a church and a Chinese language school. In 1949 the Parish Hall was constructed. The building consisted of three former military buildings which were moved from the Puunene airstrip to the church grounds. Additional renovation to the church and parish hall took place in 1984, at which time the Oberlinger organ was installed. The Rev. Heather Mueller-Fitch has been Rector of St. John’s since 1981. She is one of the first women ordained as priest in the Episcopal church, and the second woman ordained as an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Hawai’i.

  Jacob Mau Sunset Keokea
  by Sharon Mau

  This is an experiment in light. / I just devoted about four hours to pulling light and colours from a photograph which was taken in virtual darkness. This church is at an elevation of about 3000 feet. Jacob is standing in the arched doorway as the sun is setting on the horizon below. This has many adjustments: Histogram Stretch, Curves to draw out the colours of the night sky and a White Balance adjustment with light touches on Saturation. I then actually went into the negative on Contrast to soften the colours and give his skin just a bit of luminous opacity. I smoothed the Digital Noise and again overlayed a Digital Filter. I cloned out stray pixels of light and deepened the contrast once again. It is still very noisy, but I like it.
