I made these photos in 1975 -1976 for "The Kauai Album", a book of historic architecture published by the Kauai Historical Society. I asked the Historical Society Board if I could include a photo or two of the Taylor Camp tree houses in the book.  While I saw Taylor Camp as a unique and significant example of whimsical 60's counterculture architecture--the ultimate hippie fantasy--the board members were horrified at the idea. So I decided to make an in-depth architectural survey of the tree houses and environmental portraits of many community members--images that decades later would gain international recognition for both their artistic and historical value and become the foundation of my book "Taylor Camp" and our award winning film, The Edge of Paradise.  "The Kauai Album" was published  in 1981--a year before hurricane Ewa damaged or destroyed many of the buildings in our survey.

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
