Waiea Villa One is a rare five‑level residence in the heart of Honolulu, developed by Howard Hughes as part of the Ward Village master plan. Designed by James K.M. Cheng with interiors by Tony Ingrao, the villa combines the scale of a private estate with the convenience of tower living.

The home spans more than 7,000 square feet, with a private pool, a drive‑in garage, and ocean views from nearly every level. Cheng’s glass‑driven architecture and Ingrao’s warm, sculptural interiors create a space that photographs with clarity and intention.

For us, this project was unusually generous — nearly every photograph became a hero image. The light, the materials, the vertical flow, and the way the villa opens to Honolulu’s coastline all translated effortlessly into strong compositions.

Marketing a new development in the Seattle–Puget Sound region requires strategic timing, especially when it comes to architectural photography. Weather, seasonality, construction schedules, and leasing timelines all influence when a project is truly “photography‑ready.” This guide outlines the ideal timing for capturing your building at its best — based on decades of photographing multifamily, mixed‑use, senior living, hospitality, and commercial developments across Washington.

When Is a Project Ready for Architectural Photography?

A development is considered marketing‑ready when the following conditions are met:

• Exterior is fully complete — no lifts, scaffolding, or construction fencing
• Landscaping is installed and established
• Hardscape is clean and unobstructed
• Signage and branding elements are in place
• Amenity spaces are furnished and staged
• Units and corridors are free of punch‑list activity

For most Seattle‑area projects, this happens 4–8 weeks after substantial completion, depending on weather and contractor availability.

Why Timing Matters in the Seattle & Puget Sound Region

Seattle’s climate is unique: long stretches of overcast skies, short winter daylight hours, and unpredictable rain patterns. These factors directly impact the quality of architectural imagery.

Key regional considerations

• Winter daylight is limited — ideal shoot windows shrink to 10 AM–2 PM
• Summer offers the longest golden hours — excellent for exteriors and amenities
• Spring and fall provide soft, even light — perfect for façade and detail work
• Rain can enhance certain materials — concrete, stone, and metal photograph beautifully when wet
• Clear days reveal mountain and skyline views — critical for premium units and rooftop amenities

Best Seasons for Architectural Photography in Seattle

1. Late Spring (April–June)

The most reliable combination of:

• Fresh landscaping
• Longer daylight
• Soft, even lighting
• Minimal wildfire smoke risk

2. Mid–Late Summer (July–September)

Ideal for:

• Rooftop amenities
• Pool decks
• Leasing and marketing campaigns
• Blue‑sky hero shots

Note: Wildfire smoke can affect visibility in late August–September.

3. Early Fall (September–October)

Great for:

• Warm, directional light
• Mature landscaping
• Stable weather patterns

4. Winter (November–February)

Still workable for:

• Interiors
• Twilight exteriors
• Overcast façade photography

Winter is not ideal for:

• Amenities
• Landscaping
• View‑driven imagery

How Weather Affects Your Shoot

Seattle’s weather can shift quickly. For best results, plan for:

• Flexible shoot windows
• Backup dates
• A mix of lighting conditions (overcast for exteriors, clear for views)

At Panaviz, we monitor weather patterns daily and schedule shoots to maximize sky conditions, reflections, and natural light.

While both architectural and real estate photography involve photographing buildings, they serve very different purposes. For Seattle architects, developers, and builders, understanding these differences ensures your project is captured in a way that supports awards, leasing velocity, investor confidence, and long‑term brand value.

Below is a clear breakdown of how the two disciplines differ.

1. Purpose and Long‑Term Value

Architectural Photography

Architectural photography documents and elevates design intent — a critical need in a city where design review boards, public‑realm expectations, and sustainability standards shape every project.

Seattle‑area clients use architectural imagery for:

• AIA Seattle and NAIOP Washington award submissions
• Developer and investor presentations
• Marketing for Class A multifamily and mixed‑use projects
• Editorial features in design publications
• Long‑term portfolio and brand identity
• Pre‑leasing and lease‑up campaigns for new construction

Architectural images remain relevant for years, often becoming the definitive visual record of a Seattle project.

Real Estate Photography

Real estate photography is designed to sell or lease a property quickly, typically for single‑family homes or short‑term listings. It supports a short marketing cycle and is not intended for design documentation or long‑term brand use.

2. Time, Planning, and Execution

Architectural Photography

Seattle’s unique light, weather, and seasonal conditions require deliberate planning. Architectural shoots often involve:

• Scouting for optimal sun angles (especially important in winter)
• Timing around Seattle’s shifting cloud cover
• Multiple visits to capture day, dusk, and night scenes
• Collaboration with interior designers and staging teams
• Precision composition to highlight materials and massing

This approach ensures the final images reflect the architect’s vision and the developer’s investment — whether it’s a South Lake Union lab building, a Capitol Hill boutique project, or a Bellevue luxury tower.

Real Estate Photography

Real estate shoots prioritize speed and efficiency. Most homes are photographed in 30–90 minutes, using fast, high‑volume techniques. This approach is appropriate for listings, not for design‑driven Seattle projects.

3. Equipment and Technical Approach

Architectural Photography

Architectural photographers use specialized tools to ensure accuracy and artistry:

• Tilt‑shift lenses for perspective correction (critical for Seattle’s tall buildings)
• Advanced lighting and multi‑exposure compositing
• Color‑accurate workflows for natural materials like wood, concrete, and glass
• High‑resolution sensors for large‑format output and editorial use

These techniques preserve true geometry and materiality — essential for Seattle’s design‑reviewed projects.

Real Estate Photography

Real estate photographers focus on efficiency:

• Wide‑angle lenses
• Quick HDR or flambient techniques
• Lightweight gear

This is ideal for MLS listings, not for architectural documentation.

4. Editing and Post‑Production

Architectural Photography

Post‑production is meticulous and time‑intensive, especially for Seattle projects where:

• Overcast skies may need balancing
• Reflections from glass towers require careful control
• Urban context must be preserved without distraction

Editing includes:

• Multi‑exposure blending
• Perspective correction
• Object removal
• Precision color grading
• Publication‑ready finishing

Real Estate Photography

Editing is fast and functional — suitable for listings, not for long‑term brand assets.

5. Pricing and Licensing

Architectural Photography

Panaviz’s architectural day rate is approximately $5,000, reflecting:

• Multi‑day production
• Advanced lighting and equipment
• Extensive post‑production
• High‑resolution, publication‑ready deliverables

Licensing is typically per stakeholder — architect, developer, builder, interior designer — ensuring fair usage and supporting long‑term value.

Real Estate Photography

Real estate photography is priced for speed and volume, often $100–$300 per listing.

Why This Matters for Seattle Architects & Developers

Seattle’s competitive development landscape demands imagery that does more than document a space — it must communicate design excellence, support entitlement and marketing efforts, and strengthen your brand.

High‑quality architectural imagery:

• Enhances RFP responses for public and private projects
• Supports NAIOP, AIA, and ULI award submissions
• Elevates your website and marketing materials
• Helps lease‑up teams accelerate absorption
• Strengthens investor and lender confidence
• Documents your design legacy in a rapidly evolving city

Real estate photography cannot meet these long‑term, design‑driven needs.

Greystar utilized the imagery for:

• Leasing gallery updates
• Website and ILS listings
• Social media and digital marketing
• Community branding and resident communications

Impact: The visuals helped drive leasing velocity and maintain consistent brand presentation across all marketing platforms.

5. Marketing & Public Advertising Value

Large‑Format Billboards Across Oʻahu

Panaviz’s imagery was featured in:

• Lit‑up mall billboards in major Oʻahu shopping centers
• Large‑format leasing campaigns
• Community‑wide signage and promotional materials

Impact: High‑resolution, studio‑grade imagery translated seamlessly into large‑format displays, strengthening Kapilina’s public presence and brand identity.

6. Portfolio Value — Long‑Term, Multi‑Stakeholder Use

Photography for Multifamily Apartment Communities: A Practical Insight

Unveiling Multifamily Living

In this article, we explore the specificities of architectural photography in the multifamily sector, differentiating it from traditional real estate photography, shedding light on the hard work invested by photographers, and examining the various shots that tell the story of these living spaces.

Architectural Photography vs. Real Estate Photography: Beyond the Basics

Architectural photography for multifamily communities goes beyond standard real estate imagery. Unlike the straightforward approach of real estate photography, the focus here is on capturing the artistic and aesthetic aspects that define these living spaces. It’s about showcasing the property’s character and vibe, rather than just presenting it as a commodity.

Aerial Photography: Getting a Bird’s-Eye View

A key feature of architectural photography in multifamily communities is the use of aerial shots. Photographers employ drones or elevated platforms to capture unique perspectives that reveal the layout and design of the community. These shots add depth to the visual story, providing viewers with a better understanding of the overall environment.

Exterior Photography: More Than Just a Pretty Facade

Capturing the external features of multifamily communities involves careful framing to highlight architectural details, landscaping, and outdoor spaces. It’s about giving viewers a genuine look at the community’s exterior, encouraging them to explore further. The goal is to present the property as more than just a building but a functional and inviting living space.

Amenity Photography: Utilizing Quiet Times

To portray the lifestyle associated with multifamily living, photographers strategically choose quiet times, such as dawn, to capture amenity areas. Early morning shoots, when public areas are empty, provide a calm backdrop for capturing swimming pools and communal spaces. These images communicate tranquility and exclusivity, adding a unique aspect to the visual narrative.

Interior Architecture Photography: Beyond the Surface

Shifting the focus to the interior, architectural photographers aim to capture the spatial elements that define multifamily living. Through keen composition and attention to detail, they highlight the architectural aspects that make each unit stand out. These interior shots go beyond aesthetics, giving viewers a practical look into the living spaces.

Resident Amenity Photography: Showcasing Community Spaces

Photographers focus resident amenities, capturing the vibrancy of communal areas such as lounges and game rooms. These images showcase the shared experiences that bind residents together, emphasizing the practical aspects of community living beyond individual units.

Model Room Photography: Visualizing the Living Experience

Model room photography serves a practical purpose – it invites viewers to envision themselves within the living spaces. Carefully staged shots blend interior design aesthetics with personalization, offering a realistic look at what life could be like in the community.

Interior Design Photography: Detailing Living Spaces

Architectural photography extends to capturing the details of interior design. Focusing on individual rooms, photographers highlight design elements, decor, and lighting to provide viewers with a practical understanding of the atmosphere within each living space.

The Photographer’s Reality: Long Hours and Dedication

The work of an architectural photographer in the multifamily sector involves substantial time and effort. Long hours are the norm, driven by a commitment to perfection and an understanding that every shot contributes to the overall narrative. This isn’t just a job; it’s a hands-on endeavor requiring patience and a sharp eye for detail. 14-hour days are not unheard of.

Model Unit & Interior Design Photography

Staged model units are a property’s strongest sales tool. We collaborate with staging teams and interior designers to photograph units that help prospects visualize living in the space — capturing furniture layouts, finish packages, kitchen and bath details, and the quality of natural light throughout the day.

Resident Lifestyle & Community Spaces

Game rooms, rooftop terraces, dog parks, community gardens, and gathering areas tell the story of what it’s like to live in your community. These images move beyond architecture into experience — showing the lifestyle that comes with the address.

Aerial & Drone Photography

FAA-certified drone operations provide elevated perspectives, 360° panoramas, site context imagery, and neighborhood proximity shots. Aerial photography is especially valuable for large communities, mixed-use developments, and properties with notable surroundings — waterfronts, urban cores, mountain views, or resort settings.

Our Process: Collaborative, Efficient, Results-Driven

PanaViz coordinates directly with your marketing department for creative direction, facilities management for logistics, and property management for access and scheduling. Here’s how a typical project moves from kickoff to delivery:

1. Discovery & Planning — We start by understanding your marketing goals, target audience, and intended use for the images. Together, we develop a detailed shot list and schedule that accounts for lighting conditions, property readiness, and any staging requirements.
2. Coordination — We work with your property management team, facilities staff, staging companies, and marketing departments to ensure every space is prepared and accessible. Nothing is left to chance on shoot day.
3. On-Site Production — Most multifamily shoots are full-day productions, often spanning 12–14 hours from dawn to dusk. This allows us to capture exteriors, interiors, amenities, and aerials in optimal lighting conditions throughout the day.
4. Post-Production — Every image goes through professional editing for exposure, color accuracy, perspective correction, and final polish. We deliver high-resolution files that meet print and digital standards.
5. Delivery & Usage — Final files are delivered ready for your website, print collateral, social media channels, ILS listings, leasing packages, and award submissions. We provide files in the formats and resolutions your team needs.

Markets We Serve

Architectural Award Photography – Our Approach

Maui-based architect Marc Taron of Arquitectura reached out to Hawaii Architecture Photographer, Dave Tonnes of PanaViz to photograph this custom home with the intent of submitting it for awards consideration. And it was a winner!

How to Photograph a Home for Awards Submissions

Listen to your client. We find out elements are important to the architect, design team, and owners.

Photography Tools. Use appropriate architectural photography tools to capture these elements. For this home, we used a drone, elevated pole photography, and standard interior/exterior photography equipment.

Trust the Photographers Eye. We try to capture all the elements that are important to our clients. But at the end of the day, Dave trusts his instinct and captures scenes and images that make sense to him. These images usually end up being the “hero” shots that end up getting published.

Take Your Time. We do not hurry these shoots. Images are captured over a period of time. Sometimes it takes a few days if weather is a factor. We spent an entire day, from dawn to nightfall, photographing this home.

Give Your Clients Lots of Image Choices. We gave the team a vast selection of images (130 images!) to choose from for their awards submission.

Get Ready for Exposure. If a home does win any awards, your images will be featured in magazines, and newspapers, and end up on the covers of industry magazines.

The Story of the Award-Winning Home by Maui Architect Marc Taron

The owners, Neil and Suzette Felder wanted their new home to be unique and creative, and to preserve the ocean view from off their property. They selected Marc, who is known for designing high-end homes with indoor-outdoor features that capture incredible views.

Neil and I both wanted something very different, and it is. That was the vision.

Suzette, Homewoner

They ended up with a daringly different home which also harmonizes with its coastal surroundings.

Because the property is not subject to the confines of an association’s design guidelines, Taron was able to extend his creativity beyond the limits of some of his other projects. Taron’s first drawings were innovative, but not quite over-the-top enough for the Felder’s.

I was like, ‘All right, gloves are off, baby,’ and that’s when I started really coming up with something out of the norm.

Marc Taron

At the top of the Felders’ wish list for their home was the ability to see the ocean through the house from the street.

“That’s really something,” Taron says, noting that many beachfront houses block the view due to their size and privacy barriers.

It’s clearly not Hawaiiana-style, but with its curves and simple forms, the house seems to blend into the lot.

Marc Taron, Architect

Entering the home is an experience in itself. From the garage, the Felders can walk along an elevated walkway into the second floor of the home or descend an open staircase to the lower level; or, they can ride a glass elevator.

Taron designed the house to be modern, sculptural, and open. The garage is at street level, and with its two walls of glass windows, the Felders’ Porsche appears to be on display. Walls of windows supplied by Maui Windows & Doors allow the interior of the garage and the home itself to appear on display.

From the street, an open stairway with LED lights beneath each tread leads to a tiled walkway over a reflecting pool. This is illuminated at night by a flickering starfield below the water’s surface, as though a reflection of the night sky.

Along the retaining walls, waterfalls pour into the reflecting pool, adding to the ambiance.

Inside, the home is completely open. The walkway leads into the great room, an open concept comprised of the kitchen, dining, and living areas that extend to the second story of the home.

I look at the house itself as a piece of art, and that’s why it was important for the ocean to be a part of that artwork.

Neil, Owner

Kitchen and bath designer Cindy Tervola of Tervola Designs used a color palette drawn from the kitchen’s Amazonite quartzite countertop, a stone that Suzette really liked.

The modern kitchen has two-tone, flat-panel European cabinetry, mixing light green upper cabinets that were color matched to the countertop with high-gloss white lacquer, including matching panels for the Thermador appliances.

Through Fleetwood doors from Pacific Source that can be pulled completely open, the great room extends outside to the pool deck and lawn before reaching the beach and ocean beyond. The pool deck is partially shaded by a cantilevered lanai from the second floor, which also inspired the design of the home’s makai-facing exterior.

A support system was necessary for the cantilever lanai, and rather than use a column, Taron designed a sculptural, artistic arch that made a bold statement. The arch extends from the pool up through the lanai to provide support, and then continues past a guest bedroom — which creates shade for the room — and crests above the roofline. Taron mimicked the shape of the arch throughout the home’s roof, with additional curves to represent a set of rolling waves.

“It was ingenious,” Neil says of the structural arch, noting that it allows the rest of the area to remain completely open.

The Felders spend most of their time on this side of the house, closest to the ocean but set back enough to enjoy the view from any part of their home. They never tire of it.

I’m always amazed at how beautiful it is. It’s so unique. It’s just beautiful.

Suzette, Homeowner

Hawaii Architecture Photography- Big Island, Mauna Lani Estates

PanaViz, a distinguished Hawaii Architecture Photographer, has masterfully captured the essence of the sprawling 3,200-acre Mauna Lani Resort through their lens over the years.

In this presentation, we take you on a visual journey to a remarkable residence nestled within the prestigious Mauna Lani Estates, which serves as a splendid testament to the allure of resort living.

This residence embodies a refined yet unassuming opulence that redefines the concept of leisure in a resort setting. Its exquisite tropical architecture seamlessly melds with the rugged beauty of the surrounding lava fields and the verdant expanse of the Mauna Lani landscape.

The home’s design transcends the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, embracing the Hawaiian philosophy of ‘Aloha aina,’ a deep respect for the land and nature. This reverence is vividly portrayed through the deliberate incorporation of natural materials, the abundant infusion of natural light, and the judicious utilization of natural ventilation throughout the property.

Mauna Lani Resort

Nestled within the vast expanse of the Mauna Lani Resort, a sprawling oasis that spans approximately 3,200 acres and boasts an impressive 3 miles of easily accessible oceanfront beauty, lies a residence that luxuriates in the lap of this prestigious and eco-conscious paradise. Mauna Lani Resort, a globally renowned haven for luxury and sustainability, offers an array of unparalleled amenities, making it a sought-after destination.

At its heart, Mauna Lani is graced by two upscale oceanfront hotels: the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel, boasting 350 lavish rooms, and the opulent Fairmont Orchid Hotel. These accommodations set the tone for an indulgent stay amid the breathtaking natural beauty of the Hawaiian landscape.

The resort’s allure extends well beyond its accommodations, as it proudly hosts two world-class 18-hole championship golf courses that beckon enthusiasts from around the globe. A dedicated Hawaiian spa and fitness club cater to those seeking rejuvenation and relaxation, while tennis courts provide an outlet for active pursuits.

For residents fortunate enough to call Mauna Lani home, the resort extends a wealth of privileges. From the comfort of their abode, they have easy access to the property owner’s beach club, iconic Ancient Hawaiian fishponds, and the mesmerizing historic petroglyph fields. Moreover, the resort’s retail therapy options and an array of dining establishments, both casual and fine, elevate the overall experience.

This particular home enjoys the full spectrum of Mauna Lani Resort’s offerings. It is conveniently situated close to the Mauna Lani Beach Club, a sanctuary of sun and sea, as well as the meticulously designed golf courses that beckon golf aficionados. Additionally, the proximity to an array of shops and dining establishments enhances the convenience of resort living.

Poipu is a popular vacation destination located on the southern coast of the island of Kauai in Hawaii, known for its sunny weather, white sand beaches, and clear waters.

Click to Experience a 360 Panorama of Poipu Beach

In terms of beaches, Poipu Beach Park is a popular destination for visitors. This crescent-shaped beach offers excellent swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing opportunities. The beach also provides a habitat for various sea life, including sea turtles, which can be spotted swimming in the waters nearby. Another beach that is worth visiting is Brennecke’s Beach, famous for its bodysurfing and bodyboarding waves.

The lifestyle in Poipu is known to be casual and relaxed, centering around the appreciation of the natural beauty of the island and the warm, sunny weather. Visitors can engage in outdoor activities such as hiking, golfing, and horseback riding.

Poipu offers a wide variety of amenities that include hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, and restaurants, many of which are in close proximity to the beaches. Spas and other facilities for relaxation and indulgence are also available. Shopping options include art galleries, boutiques, and surf shops.

In terms of surf conditions, the waves in Poipu are generally more consistent and larger in the winter months (Nov to Mar) with the North and West Swell bringing in the surf. During the summer months (Apr to Oct) the surf is usually smaller, with the occasional South swell that can bring in bigger surf. Nonetheless, Poipu’s beaches are great for both experienced and beginner surfers all year long.

A typical day in Poipu might include a morning swim or surf session at one of the local beaches, followed by a leisurely breakfast at a café or restaurant. After breakfast, visitors might take a hike or go horseback riding to explore the natural beauty of the area. The afternoon could be spent lounging on the beach or at the pool, and in the evening, visitors might enjoy a sunset dinner at a local restaurant before ending the day with a leisurely stroll along the beach.

Poipu Beach is located on the southern coast of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It is situated in the town of Koloa, which is about 21 miles (34 kilometers) southwest of the island’s capital, Lihue.

360 panoramas show the widest angle of a space, including up, down, and all around.

A panorama is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting, drawing, photography, film, or a three-dimensional model. The motion-picture term panning is derived from panorama.

Digital photography has made it possible for us to take a number of wide angle images of a space and stitch it together so that a full 360° of a scene is captured. Thus the 360 panorama.

This image is than displayed in a viewer that allows a user to look around within this photo in an immersive experience.

Now see the 360 interactive panorama of the above scene here.

Virtual Tours for a Home

360 Panoramas have been around for over 20 years. The technology has improved significantly – it’s easier to use, navigate, and load now.

Panoramas have been perceived as gimmicky in the past, but when well implemented, they can add value to the way you display your property.

360 Virtual tours add to the vignette of still photos that exist for your property. They are a wonderful way to show the layout and flow of a space, the all around views, the soaring ceilings and wonderful carpeting and flooring.

360 Panoramas are also referred to as 360 Virtual Tours

We usually create aerial panoramas as part of our photography services for luxury hotels and resorts.

An interactive panorama lets folks interact with a panorama using their mouse or smartphone. They can tilt their phones or use the mouse to look right, left, up and down.

I generally share my Hawaii panoramas on Facebook, where they are popular. Since Facebook only allows a small size image upload best seen on a mobile device, I upload my larger-multi resolution images on our server, and these show greater detail on desktop and HD T.V. screens.

Apartment Photography in Nevada. We photographed this new multi-family luxury apartment complex for a company that is billed as a premier Las Vegas luxury apartment community for contemporary living.

The facades and exteriors of the apartments were photographed at dawn as well as mid-day. We photographed the many outdoor amenities that are a selling point for such a community. Dawn is a good time to capture an apartment community that is already being lived in, as the common areas tend to be quieter.

We photographed the lobby and other common areas as they become available.

We captured several model apartments in various bedroom configurations.

Walker’s Lanikai Beach House.

Mokulua Beachhouse History – John Walker, was a Scotsman who made his way to Hawaii as a young man in the 1870’s to become a contractor of choice to Queen Liliuokalani, and erect such notable buildings as the Bishop Museum and Honolulu Hale
(City Hall).

Mr. Walker’s inviting presence is felt in the structure of this, his favorite hideaway on Lanikai Beach. Built in 1934, this enchanting environment transports you back to an era of graceful living, where the worries of the world are lost in the luxury of sea n sand and restful surroundings.

Following recent renovations, the house contains just the right combination of added comforts in its updated kitchen, guest quarters and “boat house”, with elements of charm carefully preserved from a richly felt past.

One of the first homes to take advantage of Lanikai’s heavenly reef-protected waters and natural stretch of white sand beach, John Walker’s Beach House set the standard by which the surrounding community grew…a standard which has been nurtured by his family through the years for you to enjoy. Although only with us in spirit, John Walker’s love of Lanikai is preserved by one of his most revered places in the world.

Mokulua Beachhouse

Mokulua Beachhouse

The main house features 3 bedrooms, kitchen and large “great room” with spacious guest rooms. Steps away is the white soft sands of Lanikai Beach with access to the water provided from the front lawn. With a separate entry, the ‘guest cottage’ located off the entry courtyard features a queen-bedded room and a small parlor with kitchenette (sleeps up to 4).

Another private entry “boathouse” sits above the garage – complete with its own living room, kitchen, bathroom and lanai. The “boathouse” also has a loft area with double bed that may be suitable for young children (sleeps 2-4). This is the classic Lanikai Beach House – for those looking for a casual, relaxing getaway on the shores of one of the worlds’ best beaches!

Punchbowl Cemetery – Few national cemeteries can compete with the dramatic natural setting of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.

Over 13,000 servicemen who were killed in action in the Pacific Theater during WWII are buried at Punchbowl. Punchbowl stands as a beacon that welcomed them back home to a fitting location where they are memorialized. Today over 62,000 soles are laid to rest at Punchbowl.

National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific

Commonly knows as Punchbowl Cemetery or Punchbowl Memorial, the bowl was formed some 75,000 to 100,000 years ago during the Honolulu period of secondary volcanic activity.

A crater resulted from the ejection of hot lava through cracks in the old coral reefs which, at the time, extended to the foot of the Koolau Mountain Range.

Punchbowl Memorial Cemetery Aerial Panorama

Punchbowl Memorial Cemetery Grounds

Dave took his panoramic pole when visited Punchbowl on Memorial Day with our 4 Year Old.  These pictures were taken after the official memorial day ceremonies had ended.

Punchbowl Memorial History

During the late 1890s, a committee recommended that the Punchbowl become the site for a new cemetery to accommodate the growing population of Honolulu. The idea was rejected for fear of polluting the water supply and the emotional aversion to creating a city of the dead above a city of the living

Fifty years later, Congress authorized a small appropriation to establish a national cemetery in Honolulu with two provisions: that the location be acceptable to the War Department, and that the site would be donated rather than purchased. In 1943, the governor of Hawaii offered the Punchbowl for this purpose.

The $50,000 appropriation proved insufficient, however, and the project was deferred until after World War II. By 1947, Congress and veteran organizations placed a great deal of pressure on the military to find a permanent burial site in Hawaii for the remains of thousands of World War II servicemen on the island of Guam awaiting permanent burial.

Subsequently, the Army again began planning the Punchbowl cemetery; in February 1948 Congress approved funding and construction began.

Prior to the opening of Punchbowl Cemetery for the recently deceased, the remains of soldiers from locations around the Pacific Theater including Wake Island and Japanese POW camps were transported to Hawaii for final interment.

The first interment was made Jan. 4, 1949. The cemetery opened to the public on July 19, 1949, with services for five war dead: an unknown serviceman, two Marines, an Army lieutenant and one civilian noted war correspondent Ernie Pyle. Initially, the graves at National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific were marked with white wooden crosses and Stars of David like the American cemeteries abroad in preparation for the dedication ceremony on the fourth anniversary of V-J Day.

Eventually, over 13,000 soldiers and sailors who died during World War II would be laid to rest in the Punchbowl.

Despite the Army’s extensive efforts to inform the public that the star- and cross-shaped grave markers were only temporary, an outcry arose in 1951 when permanent flat granite markers replaced them. A letter from the Quartermaster General to Senator Paul Douglas in December 1952, explained that while individual markers are inscribed according to the appropriate religious faith:

Crosses do not mark the graves of the dead of our country in other national cemeteries. No cross marks the burial of our revered Unknown Soldier. From Arlington to Golden Gate, from Puerto Rico to Hawaii, the Government’s markers in national cemeteries for all our hero dead are of the traditional designs'[s]ome are upright and some are flat. None is in the form of a religious emblem.

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific was the first such cemetery to install Bicentennial Medal of Honor headstones, the medal insignia being defined in gold leaf. On May 11, 1976, a total of 23 of these were placed on the graves of medal recipients, all but one of whom were killed in action.

The Punchbowl has become one of the area’s most popular tourist destinations. More than five million visitors come to the cemetery each year to pay their respects to the dead and to enjoy the panoramic view from the Punchbowl. One of the most breathtaking views of the Island of Oahu can be found while standing at the highest point on the crater’s rim.

In August 2001, about 70 generic unknown markers for the graves of men known to have died during the attack on Pearl Harbor were replaced with markers that included USS Arizona after it was determined they perished on this vessel.

In addition, new information that identified grave locations of 175 men whose graves were previously marked as unknown resulted in the installation of new markers in October 2002.

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

Monuments and Memorials

The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific contains a memorial pathway that is lined with a variety of memorials that honor America’s veterans from various organizations. As of 2008, there were 56 such memorials throughout the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific’most commemorating soldiers of 20th-century wars, including those killed at Pearl Harbor.

Molokai Area: 673.4 km²
Population: 7,404 (2000)
Highest elevation: 4,961 ft (1,512.1 m)
Largest settlement: Kaunakakai

History of Molokai

Molokai is a Hawaiian island in the central Pacific. Molokai was long inhabited by self-sufficient taro growers and fishermen. In the 18th century the kingdom of Oahu gained control over Molokai; its rule lasted until 1785, when warriors from Maui and Hawaii islands invaded and separately ruled the island. Hawaiian chief Kamehameha I invaded in 1795 and subordinated the population as part of his effort to unify the Hawaiian Islands. Christian missionaries arrived on Molokai in the 1830s. A large ranch was established by Kamehameha V, but this destroyed much of the island’s plant life and fishing ponds.

By the 1860s a colony had been begun for victims of leprosy (Hansen disease), and this led to the forced resettlement of many of the island’s natives, particularly from the Kalaupapa Peninsula, in the 1860s and 1890s. The Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921 encouraged homesteading and resettlement on Molokai. Lack of water slowed development, but after 1923, with the growth of the pineapple industry, small villages grew up on the plateau.

The economy of the island suffered a setback in the 1970s and 1980s when the pineapple growers, facing stiff competition from abroad, closed down their operations. Agriculture on the island is now more diversified, with seed corn, coffee and sweet potatoes among the leading exports. Kaunakakai, the chief village, is on the south coast and has a small harbor.

Halawa Valley – Molokai

Halawa Valley, valley, northeastern Molokai island, Hawaii, U.S. On the northeastern flank of Kamakou summit, it is a deep, verdant gorge 1.75 miles long and 0.5 mile wide.

Archaeological evidence dates habitation in the area from c. ad 650, which makes it one of the oldest Hawaiian settlements. The area possesses one of the most complete collections of ancient residential sites, more than a dozen heiaus (ceremonial and religious structures), and a large-scale irrigation system.

It is believed to be the longest continually occupied site in Hawaii. In the 13th and 14th centuries, it was one of the most densely populated parts of the Hawaiian Islands.

One of the few areas in eastern Molokai suited to agriculture and renowned for the taro root grown there, Halawa Valley supported hundreds of Hawaiians until disastrous tidal waves (1946 and 1957) destroyed most of the buildings and much of the vegetation. It is now occupied by a small number of fishermen and farmers, and it is largely a recreational area (hiking, surfing, fishing).

Hipuapua Falls and Moaula Falls

Hipuapua Falls drops about 500 feet. It is at the end end of the valley, is the area’s highest waterfall; also at the end of the valley is Moaula Falls – 250 feet. Legend says the pool below Moaula contains a moo, a giant lizardlike creature.

Leper Colony at Kalaupapa

Kalaupapa Peninsula, also called Makanalua Peninsula, peninsula on the northern shore of Molokai island, Hawaii, U.S. Occupying a 5-square-mile (13-square-km) plateau unsuited to agriculture, the peninsula is isolated from the rest of the island by 2,000-foot (600-metre) cliffs.  The panorama below was taken from the clifftop Kalaupapa Lookout in Palaau State Park.

It was formed more than 200,000 years ago from the flows of lava from nearby Pu‘u‘uao. For some 900 years it was the site of an ancient Hawaiian agricultural village, whose major crops were taro and sweet potatoes. Archaeological evidence has revealed a once densely populated settlement containing many religious sites.

Kalawao village, on the peninsula’s east side, is now abandoned but was the site of the original “leper colony” established by King Kamehameha V in 1866; to effect a quarantine, native Hawaiians were relocated from the area (the remainder were removed in 1895, after the medical facilities were moved from Kalawao to the western side of the peninsula).

From 1873 to 1889, Father Damien, a Belgian missionary, administered to the physical and spiritual needs of the lepers on the peninsula; his example drew many helpers to the colony. The entire peninsula was occupied by the state leprosarium until 1969, when Hawaii’s isolation laws were abolished.

The colony is still home to many surviving victims of leprosy (Hansen disease), and access to the peninsula is restricted. Kalaupapa (meaning “Flat Plain”) was designated a national historical park in 1980. The district is called Kalawao county but has no formal government and is represented in the state legislature as part of Maui county.

We get to photograph some of the best resorts in the world.  Our photography can include the hotel associated with the resort and its amenities. A question that is sometimes asked is, what makes a property a resort?

What is a Resort?

A Resort is an establishment that aims to provide most of a vacationer’s wants on-premises, beyond just lodging.   This includes dining, sports, entertainment, and shopping.  Recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and golfing can feature prominently. 

Resort Photography Key Elements

Resorts are usually created near-natural, scenic surroundings and offer guests a variety of recreational activities and facilities such as golf, spa, gym, swimming pools, tours,  etc.

They are usually built on a larger land area. A beach or seaside resort is close to a  waterfront and offers activities like surfing, diving, sailing, beach sports, etc.

Mountain or hillside resort is usually situated near a mountain and offers activities like trekking, mountain climbing, hiking, etc. In simple terms, a resort is a great vacation destination.

Most resorts feature a hotel at its nexus and may feature timeshares, and privately owned homes within its community.

Resorts can have amenities such as pools and hot tubs in various areas of the property. 

Resort Photography

We get to photograph some of the best resorts in the world.  Our photography can include the hotel associated with the resort and its amenities.

Resorts tend to be sprawling, so it could mean photographing pools, common areas, restaurants, and bars all over the property.  We photograph the lodgings associated with the resort.  This can mean a resort hotel, resort villas as well as private homes located with the resort.

We photograph the beaches, golf courses, spas, and other features associated with the resort property.

Interior design photography can some times take a back seat in a big project.  As architectural photographers, we capture the big picture.  We take aerial photographs that show the location, layout and overall structure of a building.

Then we focus on the facade and exteriors.  We take photos from different elevations, vantage points and at different times of the day.

Then we move on to the interiors.  We take photos of the lobbies, common areas, lounging areas, pools, recreational areas and more.  We keep the verticals vertical.  We try to showcase the life that will be had in a space.

Our photography shows the vision of the developer, the construction of the builder, the creatively of the architect. 

The team that makes a place hospitable and inviting is the interior and exterior design team.  They pick the furniture and furnishings.  They select the lights and fixtures.  They procure and install works of art.  They showcase the creativity of known and unsung artists.  They select products that only live in obscure catalogs. 

Focusing on the Small Details

We work with many such designers, and try to take some time to photograph the little details of their work.

I had never been to NYC.  I did not particularly hanker to.  Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, the Big Apple had no appeal to me.  I left the Pacific Northwest to settle on Oahu, and embraced the laid back lifestyle of Hawaii.

I become an architectural photographer, and traveling and photographing buildings in various  cities become work.  Never NYC though.

My daughter was invited to participate in a Broadway program over summer, and my wife insisted we go to NYC as a family.

I had every intention of not particularly liking the place.  I tried to plan a work/play trip to another locale, but that did not fly with the family.

NYC – First Impressions

It was as crowded as we expected.  The first day, we waited patiently for the crosswalk as New Yorker’s rushed by.  A kindly resident quickly told us there were no jay walking penalties in the city, and we got the hang of rushing with the flow.

The food drew us in first.   Food of all ethnicities.  Authentic.  We pleasantly found NYC not as expensive as we had anticipated.  Living in Hawaii had inured us to a higher cost of living.

It was peak summer, and the NYC was as busy as we had imagined.  The city was rather fragrant.  The pong of street-side garbage awaiting collection in the summer heat,  the body odor of sweltering humanity with limited personal space, the sickly sweet aroma of pot in unexpected places.

We did the usual touristy things.  The Met, Guggenheim, Central Park, etc. 

The Photos

I took all these on the one day I had a proper camera vs a cell phone.  On that day, we visited the Empire State Building.  We spent an afternoon in Central Park and then took a 90 minute Twilight Cruise on the waterways.

I used my battered and trusty Mark 3, with an all around lens.  I was truly enjoying the sites, and the photography was very much as a tourist and not a pro.

I did not have a tripod, and did not swap any lenses.  I am rather pleased with what my camera captured in the one day of sightseeing.

Alas, my battery pack died on the river cruise, so I was not able to get any night photos from the harbor.

Myths Busted

• New Yorker’s are rude.  Not so, they are just busy.  They have places to go and tune tourists out.
• The subway sucks.  Yes.  It is hot/smelly/busy in summer.  And winter.
• The NY cabbies are rude.  True. 
• The food is amazing.

The Upside

We ended up enjoying our stay in NYC immensely.  I enjoyed the energy, diversity, history, food, culture, noise, smells – all of it.  I have been back twice in six months, albeit for work.

Live there?  NEVER!

In 1900, Oahu Railway & Land Co. founder, Benjamin F. Dillingham, had Parlor/Observation Car No. 64 designed and built especially for himself. No. 64 was the showpiece of the OR&L’s rolling stock.

Built in Honolulu at a cost of $4,388.24, it had a double-size rear platform surrounded by ornate iron grill work and protected from the sun by fluted awnings.

Oak, mahogany and birds eye maple created an interior of luxury. The parlor car was fitted with a galley, lavatory, washstand and sideboard. It was used frequently by the OR&L for visiting dignitaries. The most notable guests were members of the Hawaiian royal family. The observation platform offered guests a chance to feel the cool trade winds, as well as giving them a better view of the landscape.

No. 64 has been restored and is available for charter.

PanaViz was invited to photograph the only Frank Lloyd Wright home built in Hawaii. These pictures show why his design is timeless and still relevant.

Passive Solar Hemicycle Home

Scroll Down for the Home History

History of Home:

Originally conceived for the Cornwell Family in Pennsylvania in 1954, the 3,700 sq. foot passive solar hemicycle home embodies Frank Lloyd Wright’s principles of organic architecture in which the structure blends harmoniously with the natural landscape.

The plans were prepared by Taliesin Associated Architects in Scottsdale, Arizona who are affiliated with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and the only entity authorized to oversee the construction of Frank Lloyd Wright’s unbuilt projects. The project was built by Hans Torweihe and the interior design was completed by Gina Willman

Completed in 1995 the home was commissioned by Sanderson Sims who partnered with Taliesin Associated Architects, John Rattenbury and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to bring the un-built plan to life.

A series of opaque skylights bring natural light into the home and warm lighting behind opaque glass illuminates the house at night.

This 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom architecturally significant residence can accommodate a family of 6 in a setting that is truly one-of-a-kind.

The bedrooms are located upstairs and “float” over the main level of the home.

Features of the home include an outdoor lava-rock hot tub overlooking the ocean and breathtaking mountain views.

Throughout the landscaped property one will find secluded seating areas, a hammock and a small soccer field.

Unique to this FLW home, residents are only a short 10 minute drive to beautiful white sand beaches, world class resorts and plentiful golf courses on the Kohala Coast. Also within a short drive is the idyllic country town of Waimea.

PanaViz had the opportunity to photograph this end of life palliative care facility in Dallas, Texas. The $43 million-dollar community, Dallas’ first free-standing inpatient hospice care center opened in February, after being in the works for nearly a decade.

The T. Boone Pickens Hospice and Palliative Care Center sits on 9.5 acres of land on Merit Drive in North Dallas. Its peaceful surroundings and modern design of soft lighting, floral displays and accent pillows aims to create home-like atmosphere for those facing the end of life.

It’s a hospitality approach that moves away from the typical clinical setting.

The facility includes a total of 36 spacious rooms that have en suite bathrooms, fold-out beds for guests and an office space for caregivers. A patio in each room faces out toward a 2.5-acre on-site lake, where winding pathways and lounge spaces ensure visitors won’t be confined to a room.

There is space designed for every member of the family,” explained Jannetta Lingle, director of clinical services.

It was intentionally designed to look “homey and inviting,” he said. “Most people would prefer to be at home at the end of life.”

The goal of hospice is to help people who are dying have peace, comfort and dignity.

Vacation Home Photography

We photographed this luxury resort home, located in the Hualalai Resort on the North Kona Coast of the Island of Hawaii.

Photographing the sumptuous bathroom of this home was challenging. It has must see elements, from the outdoor plunge pool and lounging area, to the deep, deep indoor tub, in all quadrants of the space.

The only way to capture it all was to create a 360 degree virtual tour of the area. This lets you see how the space is laid out, how the different elements complement each other, and gives you a sense of the true scale of the bathroom.
