SPRING 2012
3rd Place
lava Wave, HaWaii
By C.J. Kale
in 2010 i probably became
the first photographer to ever
shoot lava from in the surf. The
conditions had to be perfect:
First, the lava had to cross a
beach; second, there needed to
be surf; and third, the volume
of lava flowing into the ocean
needed to be perfect (too much
and the water would be boiling
far out to sea; too little and
there would not be enough to
capture in a photo). i got three
days in the water out of seven;
the other days it was just too
dangerous. if you look above
the lava to the clouds you
can see shading of a face in
the sky. Perhaps it’s Pele, the
Hawaiian goddess of fire.
