The story behind the stamp

Rainbow on Haleakala, Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii

As a child, we were often told to come in out of the rain. In a national park, however, it’s sometimes best to stay put. Otherwise you could miss out on an experience of a lifetime.

And I’m honored that one of my experiences of a lifetime — the afternoon that resulted in the image Rainbow on Haleakalā — was selected by the U.S. Postal Service to appear on a very special commemorative stamp to honor the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.

The legend of Haleakalā

Sunrise over Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii

There have always been stories about the origin of the land and the life that calls it home. Before there was science, those stories came from imagination and spirituality. In this series, I have created contemporary nature photography to illustrate them. Read more about my Legends of the Land series.

Do you enjoy the long days of summer? Summer days used to be short. There was a time when night was longer than day year round.

Maui was the one who finally got us longer days. But to do that, he first had to catch the sun.
