Reverend Wedding Officiate Laki Pomaikai Ka'ahumanu Akima Kanaka Hawaiian Chant 'Oli conch shell Pu wedding Pa'ako Beach 01 June 2009 Sharon Mau
by Sharon MauMahalo e ke Akua, na ‘aumakua, na kini akua, a me na ki’ipuna to all my viewers. Thank you so much for your gifts of Aloha and your kindness. This lovely couple married 01 June 2009 on the beautiful Pa’ako Beach, also well known as Wedding Beach and Makena Secret Cove. I have more images if you are interested in them. Reverend Wedding Officiate Laki Pomaikai Ka’ahumanu Akima (who is a member of our Ohana) sings, plays Ukulele, performs cultural and traditional Hawaiian chant (‘oli) and at the beginning and end of the ceremony he blows the Pu, the conch shell pu in honour of their wedding on Pa’ako Beach 01 June 2009 as the couple stands within the floral circle of Love at sunset. One of the most wonderful things about the lovely beaches on Maui is that they all have public access. There are no private beaches. Here on this evening as this lovely couple were marrying, there were three other weddings taking place simultaneously. You may notice in most of my Pa’ako Beach photographs published on this website, there are no people in my images. Yet often there are weddings taking place all around me. I have decided to publish them now in hopes that the wedding parties will discover their wedding photos. I am certain they would love to have them. I know I would. I have photographs of the Photographers as well and I will be publishing those soon. This photograph was a challenge for, as you can see, I was shooting into the sun as the sun was setting over Molokini and the people were cast in deep shadows. I processed Curves and reset the White Balance, then stretched the Histogram just a bit to pull out details. Using the lasso tool, I then selected each face and their hands and smoothed the skin. Then I applied a digital noise removal application over the entire image. I do hope you enjoy it. It was a perfect evening for this lovely couple to marry at sunset here on Pa’ako. I researched for such a long time to discover the name of this beautiful beach asking many of my husband’s family and friends until I finally discovered the name Pa’ako. Now I see it is all over the internet. For such a long time this beach was called by most everyone on the island Wedding Beach. I am happy to see it now called by it’s true name. If there was a Hawaiian name preceding this one, I have not yet discovered it in my research. The names of beaches, coves, bays and inlets on Maui have been changed, sometimes more than once, mostly by foreigners and developers. I try to promote and publish their true ancient Hawaiian names. When and if I do discover a previous authentic Hawaiian name for Pa’ako, I will update the information. Pastor Laki, as he is called, is the senior pastor of the Harvest Chapel Church of God in Lahaina here on Maui. He is also the author of “Will You Marry Me.” His ceremonies may include the traditional Hawaiian Pu (conch) Shell sounding. He is the great great grandson of Hawai’i’s Queen Ka’amanu’s adopted daughter and is a member of my husband’s Ohana.

On the Whispering Sea Pa’ako Beach / Twilight Makena Maui Hawai’i “To possess good intuition, goodly power, causes work. / It causes work firstly in the watching and comprehending of negative forces and imbalances both inward and outward. / Secondly, it causes striving in the gathering up of will in order to do something about what one sees, be it for good, or balance, or to allow something to die. I will not lie to you; it is easier to throw away the light and go to sleep. For with it, we clearly see all sides of ourselves and others, both the disfigured and the divine and all conditions in between. Yet, with this light the miracles of deep beauty in the world and in humans come to consciousness. With this penetrating light one can see past the bad action to the good heart, one can espy the sweet spirit crushed beneath hatred, one can understand much instead of being perplexed only. This light can differentiate layers of personality, intention, and motives in others. / It can determine consciousness and unconsciousness in self and others. / It is the wand of knowing. / It is the mirror in which all things are sensed. / It is the deep wild nature.” / From The Retrieval of Intuition as Initiation ~ Women Who Run With Wolves Featured Art 20 August 2009 / A Place To Call Home / I ke kai Hawanawana ~ Eia ku’u lei Aloha Pa’ako Beach / Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.

Ma ka ‘Aekai / when the ‘aina (land) meets the ocean Kaula’uo / Ulua / Mokapu Beach / Wailea / Maui Gold Coast / Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved This image is the result of an experiment in light and DOF settings as I was trying to reproduce the atmospheric conditions of the moment. These two beaches are accessible by the same path along the wonderful elevated boardwalk, although they have different names for each side of the beach. When you are facing makai, the ocean, to the right is Mokapu Beach, which lies just in front of the Renaissance Wailea Beach Resort and to the left is Ulua Beach. These beaches are very popular places for walking, running, sunbathing, swimming and snorkeling, featuring sandy bottoms. In summer the water is wonderfully warm. It is a beautiful long stretch of golden sand, and the luxurious bronzed golden sand is reflecting the beautiful warm colours of sunset in this image. It was a peaceful evening on Maui’s Gold Coast. The original name of this lovely beach was Ke One Ulua (pronounced o-ney) / Like Polo Beach, Ulua is a name unfamiliar to Kanaka Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiians) and Kama’aina (long time residents) on Maui. The original name was Kaula’uo and that is what I prefer to call it as I believe the original name should be restored.

Piccadilly Circus, Here we see a wide angle image of Picadilly Circus, London. We have the world famous neon advertising boards as well as some of the buildings of the square and a blurd speeding Route Master London Red Bus and Black Hackney Cab. This was one of those chance shots that you weren’t expecting. I was actually waiting around to photograph another area of the city after the sun had gone down and I had a little time to kill. I decided to head to piccaddilly circus as this is one area you are always guaranteed plenty of life any time of the day. I set up the tripod hidden behind a kiosk selling newspapers and started shooting.

It is always a beautiful day on Maui / Pa’ako Beach Makena Maui Hawai’i “The archetype of Wild Woman resides in the guts, not in the head. She can track and run and summon and repel. She can sense, camouflage, and love deeply. She is intuitive, typical, and normative. She is utterly essential to women’s mental and soul health. She is the female soul. Yet she is more; she is the source of the feminine. She is all that is of instinct, of the worlds both seen and hidden – she is the basis. She is intuition, she is far-seer, she is deep listener, she is loyal heart. She encourages humans to remain multilingual; fluent in the languages of dreams, passion, and poetry. She is the voice that says, “This way, this way.” She is the one who thunders after injustice. She is the one we leave home to look for. She is the one we come home to. She is the things that keep us going when we think that we’re done for. To adjoin the instinctual nature does not mean to come undone, change everything from left to right, from black to white, to move the east to west, to act crazy or out of control. It does not mean to lose one’s primary socializations, or to become less human. It means quite the opposite. The wild nature has a vast integrity to it. It means to establish territory, to find one’s pack, to be in one’s body with certainty and pride regardless of the body’s gifts and limitations, to speak and act in one’s behalf, to be aware, alert, to draw on the innate feminine powers of intuition and sensing, to come into one’s cycles, to find what one belongs to, to rise with dignity, to retain as much consciousness as we can.” ~ excerpt from Women Who Run With Wolves Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D. Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain.

I love the lavender light. This is a composite of three images all taken on Pa’ako Beach at sunset on the same evening, stitched with Curves WB adjustments. The Deeper Meaning of Aloha “The lover lowers her gaze and the Beloved / raises it until lover is engulfed in oceans too vast to / circumscribe and around their margins fly continuous bands of / singing birds The lover closes her lips around silence the way / light enters a room and obliterates darkness and the Beloved suddenly starts singing inside the / lover’s mouth until even the stars like wandering animals / in their constellational shifts bleat and bay across / vast astronomical distances making them as small as the moisture bead on the lover’s lip and the / Beloved’s eye-gleam from as far away as / deep undersea The lover stands to embrace the Beloved / and the Beloved stands to embrace the lover And the lover stands to embrace the Beloved / and the Beloved stands to embrace the lover and the echoes from their movements blow rainbow / lights stuttering against earth’s canyon walls and icebergs / break off and slide into black waters And the Beloved stands and the lover / shrinks within the microscopic compass of all her / insignificant acts until each breath / obliterates her / and the Beloved stands to embrace the lover / until the whole world rises to a standing position within that embrace An Ant gnaws at a redwood tree and it / falls in a straw across a single heartbeat We’ve never left God’s glorious dimension and need only look not within us nor around us / but through the sphere of that Glance the Beloved takes and / blows into a ball of sky and crashing waves which is all the lover offers through the paucity of / her multifaceted “I” The singular embrace“ / from: The Ecstatic Exchange / poetry of Daniel Abdal Hayy Moore / Ramadan Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date Saturday 09 May 2009 18:08:59 / WhitePoint 0.31 0.33 / Aperture Priority / ISO 100 Centre Weighted Metering / Lens Aperture F/7.1 (5.66) Pa’ako Beach / Makena Maui Hawai’i

Thailand is a country full of colour and character. A land where nature and man co-exist. But the people are really what make Thailand so beautiful. Their open hearts, warm smiles, their gentle nature. / / At the end of 2007 I spent six weeks in Thailand working in the local university campuses in Southern Thailand. During my time there I fell in love with the country, its delicious food, but most of all its people.

This was a fledgling Yellow-eyed Penguin which was hiding in the flax waiting for its parents to return from a days fishing. Bizarrely it had chosen to hide directly behind the viewing platform for a petrified forest and was therefore almost fully visible to the hoards of tourists which were gathering.
