Pioneer Inn Sepia

The Pioneer Inn is one of the oldest operating hotels in all of Hawai`i, over a century old and recently renovated. The architecture captures the feeling of old Hawai`i as would be approprate for Lahaina, the former capitol of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Photographer's note: This is more than just a sepia-toned version of a modern photograph. I have worked diligently to remove any traces of contemporary civilization — by eliminating cars, power lines, newer buildings, etc. The goal was to craft a photo that would be very similar to one taken more than 100 years ago. I love the look and I hope you do too.
