I recently tried Onexposure.net, at the advice of my good friend Derek W. To say the least, i was not impressed. The set up and organization seemed to be lacking, and the people were sure they were better then anyone else. I say this because of the comments left on pictures I had in the process of “screening,” not the fact mine were not accepted. I opted to try to get what i consider my two best shots accepted to be published on the site. The two pictures I chose were “Lightning Over The Lake” and also “Nature Conforms.” I did get rejected on both. I can understand the lightning I suppose, it isn’t a amazing shot of lightning. But…. one of the comments left on “Nature Conforms” was “this shot is something we have seen a lot of, and is nothing new.” ARE YOU SHITTING ME? I would love to see one shot that looks anything like that place. So needless to say I will not be using that place any further. This to everyones own decision but i do not recommend this site to anyone that values their art. Just thought I would let everyone know the facts of what happened with my try at Onexposure.net RedBubble is the place I will choose to hang my work.

She was originally named Lydia Liliu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka’eha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki, and also known as Lydia Kamakaʻeha Paki, with the chosen royal name of Liliʻuokalani. Queen Liliʻuokalani was an accomplished author and songwriter. Her book, Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen, gave her view of the history of her country and her overthrow and therefore became the first Native Hawaiian female author. Liliʻuokalani was known for her musical talent. Lili’u is said to have played guitar, piano, organ, ‘ukulele and zither. She also sang alto, performing Hawaiian and English sacred and secular music. She would find herself in music. In her memoirs she wrote: “to compose was as natural to me as to breathe. This gift remains a source of the greatest consolation.” She wrote over 165 songs and chants. Some of her best-known musical compositions include the song, “Aloha ʻOe”, “The Queen’s Jubilee”, “He Mele Lahui Hawai’i”, and “Ku’u Pua I Paoakalani” ~ Source: Wikipedia

Along Makai, (ocean side) of this flat land, there are rocky cliffs filled with caves, which had been used for interments, burial sites, with the openings sealed with large boulders and rocks. This is how the old people did things, it is how they buried their loved ones. They camouflaged it so well you could not see it. So, often, you won’t know there is something there, until you open it up. This area is normally taboo, Kapu, forbidden for entry and should be left alone and respected for both the Ohana, the families, the cultural heritage and to preserve the nature of the place.” More on Talk Story with Jacob Mau to come….

Aloha E pili mau na pomaika`i ia `oe / Kahakaloa Maui Hawai’i / Live Pono and Practice Aloha / © 2009 Fine Art Photography by Sharon Anne Mau Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / As Is with no post processing / It was a beautiful day here on the island. / 21 February 2009 Beautiful Kahakaloa is a small isolated village at the end of a valley. The village is home to about 100 people and their homes, two lovely churches, and several roadside stands including the Panini Pua Kea fruit stand and Ululani by the Bay, a pink cart with sodas and snacks run by Ululani Ho’opi’i, wife of recording artist Richard Ho’opi’i. Imagine one of the most biologically rich areas on the islands that is also home to hundreds of plant and animal species found nowhere else on Earth. / Here you will see and learn about the ancient Ahupua’a farming system still intact and operating today. “Gods like Ka-onohi-o-ka-la and Ku-waha-ilo bore to the Heavens the souls of Chiefs “where it was supposed the spirits of Kings and Chiefs sometimes dwelt and afterwards returned them to earth, where they accompanied the movements and watched over the destinies of their survivors” “In every case, the reception the soul met after separation from the body depended on his relations with his ‘Aumakua. A person who has committed a sin against his ‘Aumakua is exhorted to obtain pardon while he still lingers at Pu’u-ku-akahi (the first stopping place) before being conducted to Ku-akeahu (heaping up place) where he must make the final leap into the underworld called Ka-pa’a-heo (the final parting) At the first point, the Pu’u-ku-akahi, his ‘Aumakua may succeed in bringing him back to life.” “Milu is said to have been a Chief on Earth, who, on account of being disobedient to the gods, was swept down into the underworld at death and became it’s ruler. Both Kahakaloa on Maui and Waipio on Hawai’i claim him as Chief. Kupihea says that the Kahakaloa story is the older and the Waipio Milu story is patterned after it….. “ “Entrance into the pit of Milu (Lua-o-Milu) is at a cleft on some high bluff overlooking the sea or in the edge of a valley wall and a tree serves as the roadway by which the soul takes it’s departure. One such entrance, (leaping place) is Kahakaloa (sometimes spelled Kahakuloa) on Maui, Waipio Valley on Hawai’i, Moanalua on O’ahu. Other leaping places of the soul (Leina-ka-uhane) are named at different points about the islands coasts. There is a leaping place for every Ahupua’a, (district) on the Hawaiian Islands.” Ke au Okoa “Kamakau tells us Hawaiians are taught there is a place of darkness called Milu and a place of light called Wakea. The aumakua are the intermediaries between the living and the dead” Na aumakua mai ka po mai / Nana i na pua, ho’okomo iloko o keia po o ka malamalama / Aumakua of the night / Watch over your offspring, enfold them in the belt of light Hawaiian Mythology

King Kamehameha I, also known as Kamehameha the Great, was the head of a dynasty (a succession of rulers from the same family) who ruled the Hawaiian islands for more than a century. Legend has it that Kamehameha was born at the time of the appearance of Halley’s comet and that this was a sign that he would rise to greatness. The name Kamehameha (pronounced kuh-may-ha-may-ha) means “the one set apart.” / Kamehameha’s full Hawaiian name is Kalani Paiʻea Wohi o Kaleikini Kealiʻikui Kamehameha o ʻIolani i Kaiwikapu kaui Ka Liholiho Kūnuiākea (Information Source Wikipedia) The authentic Kukui Lei Hua (Hua = nut or seed) traditionally reserved for reigning Chiefs, worn by Kanaka Maoli and Hawaiian Ali’i (Royalty), now worn by both Kane and Wahine, are handcrafted and expensive and so very beautiful.

The earth’s magic is a gift of wonder. Never abandon your dreams. Memories dwell within the soul. This land is the gathering place of the winds. In the sound of the ocean, I can hear my ancestors calling. A ho’okupu, a gift from the heart, enriches the giver. In the family, ohana, lies the renewal of the past. I am the child of many cultures—in me grows the hope of the future. I am a part of the land, ka aina. The soil is my flesh, the mountains my bones. My voice is the voice of the wind, ka makani; my dance is the dance of the waves. I am reborn in the image of my fathers and mothers. The spirit of the land guides me in every choice that I must make. This land is born of fire and ocean and wind. In my mind is the fire of knowledge; in my blood run the currents of the ocean; in the wind do I hear the song of my spirit. The rumble of the volcano is like the beating of a great heart. The gift of knowledge is never diminished. In the neverending cycles of the land is my spirit renewed. Hawai’i is the place where rainbows are born. The land was created in the joining of fire and water. At the meeting of the land and the sea, that is where all life begins. Ancient kings walk the mountains at night. In the secret places of the land are found the answers to life’s mysteries. My parents taught me the ways of the future; I teach my children the ways of the past. I walk the land in perfect innocence, a child of yesterday. Here, every day is a beginning, every night a remembering. The owl, Pueo, protects me as I walk the forest at night. The song of my spirit is blessed by the winds. In the heart of the mountain burns the fire of new life. The earth’s fire, a wave’s caress, the never-ceasing kiss of the wind ~ of these things is my island born. The morning dew baptizes the grass; a thousand glistening beads reflect the rays of the rising sun. I am the wild spirit that greets the dawning of this day. I see the thread of mana which passes from me to all those I hold dear ~ we are family ~ we are ohana. If I feel hunger or thirst, the land will provide; if my spirit is troubled, the wind and the sea will comfort me; if I am afraid, ‘Io will protect me. Each morning is a celebration of beginnings. The stars, na hoku, guide me at night ~ they show me the way to my destiny. The will of my ancestral spirit, my ‘aumakua, speaks in all that I say or do.” ~ _This is a wonderful excerpt from the Hawaiian Book of Days Hawaiian Values / Ho’ohana Passion for worthwhile work.

Full Moon Hoku / Wailea Beach / Maui Hawai’i Ko’i / Sacred Sunrise Ceremony honouring Ko’i, (the Hawaiian stone Adze) which is an ancient Hawaiian Pohaku (stone) tool still used today, which is crafted from the hardest basalt pohaku found on stone quarries throughout the Hawaiian Islands. “Highly prized by Hawaiians, for it helped to shape the world of Hawaiians to survive in the most remote and isolated place in the midst of the Pacific Ocean”. The Ko’i helped to fell trees to build canoes, build hales (homes), carve bowls, weapons and many other important implements which help and protect the people of Hawai’i Nei” This ceremony was hosted by the Maui Chamber of Commerce. My husband Jacob Mau is na Kupuna o Maui, he is a Hawaiian Elder of Maui, and he is in one of a fleet of 12 canoes on the horizon as Kanaka (Hawaiians) dance Haka and chant Olelo greeting the full moon at sunrise as they are calling in the Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elders) in traditional Hawaiian language, chanting and song. It was so beautiful. This is a presentation representative of the 12 Moku (districts) of Maui with a Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elder) representing each Moku bearing a ho’okupu (gift) of a pohaku (stone) from their moku (district) in honour of Ko’i. The Ko’i and Pohaku, the Ho’okupu are transported on the canoes with Na Kupuna O Maui, and upon their arrival at sunrise on the beach near the Grand Wailea, a sacred ceremony took place including a presentation of Maui’s 12 Moku (districts), represented by 12 Pohaku (volcanic stones) placed by their respective Kupuna on the Ahu (altar). This is in recognition of all districts of Maui and for all the people of this island beginning with Honuaula, the location where we are here at Wailea Beach, to Kahikinui, Kaupo, Kipahulu, Hana, Ko’olau, Hamakualoa, Hamakuapoko, Wailuku, Ka’anapali, Lahaina, and Kula.

A Coconut drifts with the incoming tide at sunset on Makena Landing. View toward Kanaloa (Kaho’olawe Island) and the isle of Molokini. Maui Hawai’i “There are countless names of God, which we cannot utter simultaneously, but through a soulful composition, we can experience the whole power of God’s presence amidst us. I feel that the power and grace of the divine is infinite — it is we human beings who create boundaries and try to limit this power. For artists, I believe that this manifests itself in the form of inspiration which helps you create something wonderful. If one is sincere, no prayer goes unanswered”. A. R.

Full Moon Hoku / Wailea Beach / Maui Hawai’i Ko’i / Sacred Sunrise Ceremony honouring Ko’i, (the Hawaiian stone Adze) which is an ancient Hawaiian Pohaku (stone) tool still used today, which is crafted from the hardest basalt pohaku found on stone quarries throughout the Hawaiian Islands. “Highly prized by Hawaiians, for it helped to shape the world of Hawaiians to survive in the most remote and isolated place in the midst of the Pacific Ocean”. The Ko’i helped to fell trees to build canoes, build hales (homes), carve bowls, weapons and many other important implements which help and protect the people of Hawai’i Nei” This ceremony was hosted by the Maui Chamber of Commerce. My husband Jacob Mau is na Kupuna o Maui, he is a Hawaiian Elder of Maui, and he is in one of a fleet of 12 canoes on the horizon as Kanaka (Hawaiians) dance Haka and chant Olelo greeting the full moon at sunrise as they are calling in the Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elders) in traditional Hawaiian language, chanting and song. It was so beautiful. This is a presentation representative of the 12 Moku (districts) of Maui with a Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elder) representing each Moku bearing a ho’okupu (gift) of a pohaku (stone) from their moku (district) in honour of Ko’i. The Ko’i and Pohaku, the Ho’okupu are transported on the canoes with Na Kupuna O Maui, and upon their arrival at sunrise on the beach near the Grand Wailea, a sacred ceremony took place including a presentation of Maui’s 12 Moku (districts), represented by 12 Pohaku (volcanic stones) placed by their respective Kupuna on the Ahu (altar). This is in recognition of all districts of Maui and for all the people of this island beginning with Honuaula, the location where we are here at Wailea Beach, to Kahikinui, Kaupo, Kipahulu, Hana, Ko’olau, Hamakualoa, Hamakuapoko, Wailuku, Ka’anapali, Lahaina, and Kula. I have many more images to publish with more information on this beautiful sunrise ceremony so please, check back soon for updates.

I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.” He Lei no ke Koholā / A Lei for the Whale by Keonaona Kapuni- Reynolds “Ma ka moana nui o ka Pākīpika e noho a ola ana he mau koholā. ‘O ka pilikia ma waena o kēia mau koholā, ‘o ia ho‘i ko lākou makemake i nā mea u‘i a ho‘onaninani i ko lākou kino. ‘O ka mea i ‘ike nui ‘ia ‘o ia ho‘i ka pī‘oe. ‘Ike ‘ia nā koholā he nui wale i ho‘onaninani ‘ia me nā pī‘oe a puni o ko lākou kino. I kekahi manawa ua ‘ike ‘ia nā ‘ano pūpū like ‘ole e pa‘a pū ana i ke koholā. ‘O ke koholā waiwai loa ‘o ia ho‘i ke koholā me nā pī‘oe a limu he nui wale. A ma kēia ‘ohana koholā ‘o ia ke koholā kahiko loa, me ke alaka‘i o ia ‘ohana. In the great big Pacific Ocean lived and dwelled some whales. The only problem between these whales was that they liked to wear beautiful and decorative items on their body. The most common thing seen was the barnacle. / Lots of whales were seen decorated with barnacles all over their bodies. Sometimes different shells were also seen attached to the whales. The richest whale was the one with the most barnacles and seaweed. In this pod of whales it was the eldest whale that was also the leader of the pod. Ua ho‘oholo kēia koholā, inā e makemake ana nā koholā e noho ma kēia ‘ohana, pono lākou e ho‘onaninani i ko lākou kino. ‘A‘ohe koholā ma kēia ‘ohana i kaula‘i ‘ole ‘ia e ka limu a i ‘ole kekahi ‘ohana pī‘oe ma ko lākou kua. Hō ka nui o ka ‘aka‘aka ma ka moana i ka wā i holo ai kēia ‘ohana a puni o ka moana. This whale decided that if the other whales wanted to live in this pod they had to decorate their bodies. There was no whale in the pod who wasn’t decorated with limu and who didn’t house a family of barnacles on his back. There was an immense amount of laughter directed at the pod whenever they went around the ocean. I kekahi lā, ua ‘ōlelo ke alaka‘i, inā ua hiki i kekahi o lākou ke ho‘onaninani aku iā ia iho i ‘oi aku kona u‘i ma muli o ke alaka‘i, e lilo ana ia koholā, i alaka‘i, ‘oiai he koholā kahiko loa ‘o ia. No laila i kēlā me kēia lā ua ho‘ā‘o nā koholā e ho‘onaninani iā lākou iho a paikau i mua o ke alaka‘i. Ho‘okahi wale nō pilikia, ‘o ia ka hiki ‘ole o ke koholā ke paikau hou no ka mea inā ‘a‘ole i ‘oi aku kona u‘i ma mua o ke alaka‘i, ua pono ‘o ia e ha‘alele a noho i kahi ‘ē One day, the leader said if one of them could dress up and be more magnificent then he was, then that whale could become the leader, since the leader was getting older. So everyday one of the whales would try and dress themselves up and parade in front of the leader. There was only one problem; the whale didn’t have a second chance. When the whale lost because he wasn’t more beautiful than the leader he had to leave and live somewhere else. Ma hope o kekahi manawa ua ha‘alele nei ka nui o nā koholā a ua emi mai nei ka nui o nā heluna koholā o kēia ‘ohana. ‘Ōlelo koke kekahi o lākou, inā ‘a‘ole lanakila kekahi o kēia mau keiki e pilikia ana ka ‘ohana a ‘a‘ole e lawa ana ka heluna o kākou e pi‘i hou i uka. No laila puka aku kekahi o nā luāhine koholā a ‘ōlelo aku i kona mau hoa aloha, ‘o ia ho‘i nā i‘a umaumalei. Nīnau aku ‘o ia iā lākou e lei aku i kāna mo‘opuna ke holo aku ‘o ia i mua o ke alaka‘i. I kekahi lā a‘e i kona mo‘opuna e holo ana i mua o ke alaka‘i, holo pū mai kekahi mau i‘a umaumalei a kaula‘i aku i ka ‘ā‘ī o ke koholā. He lei umaumalei kona.

After awhile most of the whales of this pod were leaving. One of them quickly said, if one of these children don’t win the pod wouldn’t have enough numbers to migrate up north. So one of the old woman whales talked to her friends who were the Umaumalei. She asked them to lei her grandson when he parades in front of the leader. The next day when her grandson was swimming in front of the leader, the Umaumalei swam around and formed themselves as a lei around the neck of the whale. It was an Umaumalei lei. The nose of a fish was attached to the tail of another and it continued on in this fashion until the whale was surrounded with glittery fish. There was no comparison to the beauty of the grandson and he won. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua ho‘i hou nā koholā i hā‘ule i ke alaka‘i a laila ua holo hou ka ‘ohana i ka ‘ākau me ka palekana. After awhile the whales that lost came back and the family migrated north safely.” Kekahi ‘Ike Hou A‘e / More Information Inoa Hawai‘i: ‘Ōkohekohe, Pī‘oe, Pī‘oe‘oe / Hawaiian Name: ‘Ōkohekohe, Pī‘oe, Pī‘oe‘oe Inoa Pelekānia: Barnacles / English Name: Barnacles Inoa ‘Epekema: Class Cirripedia / Scientific Name: Class Cirripedia Kona ‘ano: Ke makua ka pī‘oe, pili pa‘a lākou i ka pōhaku a i ‘ole kekahi ‘ano mea ma kai no ko lākou ola holo‘oko‘a.

Description: When the pī‘oe is mature it attaches itself to rocks or other things in the sea for their whole life span. The organs and limbs are inside of the shell. If the shell is in bothered, everything goes into the shell and the two shells of the pī‘oe clamp together until it is closed. ‘Ikepili Hoihoi: ‘Oi aku ka pili o ka pī‘oe i ka ‘ohana ‘ōpae ma muli o ka ‘ohana ‘opihi.

When the pī‘oe are babies they look like little shrimp swimming in the water. / Ku’ula Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Tv Shutter Speed 1/60 Av / Aperture Value 5.6 ISO 100 / exposure bias F/1.0 / Shutter Speed 1/60 second / Focal Length 28.0mm / Metering Mode: Pattern / f5.6 / White Balance Cloudy
