Artist: Shige Yamada
Kahului Airport, Maui, Hawaii
"Shige Yamada was born in Waluku, Maui in 1933. In this work of art depicting a moment of triumph, the stylized figure represents man while the sun symbolizes life and knowledge. The demigod Maui captures the sun at the summit of Haleakala. After receiving a promise from the sun to traverse the sky more slowly for the benefit of mankind, Maui releases his captive. This Polynesian myth may be interpreted as an attempt by man to exercise mastery over his destiny. Maui Releasing the Sun, 1992. Cast Bronze" (inscription on plaque)

Strolling down the beach at 5:30am stumbled upon 3 very young construction workers with a homemade bong in a lifeguard shack. They didn’t look too happy about being discovered or possibly it was the going to work thing, but one thing for certain I wasn’t going to take their picture. So I turned around and waited for them to finish then climbed up to take a look. I thought it was probably the closest I was going to get to the true Maui subculture.
