In late 2016, I got to spend five weeks on magnificent Hawaii. On my last day, walking down from the Diamond Head crater, I’d just finished a roll of Portra 400 and wasn’t planning to shoot any more before my flight. I always feel uneasy when I have to travel with film in my cameras. At the foot of the volcano, though, I saw a yellow-ish field with some majestic trees and those beautifully shaped hills in the background, the sky above a light blue with no clouds but a nice spot in the middle. I had to take the shot. I loaded another roll into my Hasselblad, fired the shutter just once, and left with a very good feeling. I had almost forgotten about the frame when I got the negative’s scan a few weeks later. It turned out to be one of my favorite photographs of the year.
