Collection: Historic Kauai

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 Taylor Camp's treehouses 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 treehouses and environmental portraits of many community members—images that decades later would gain international recognition for both their artistic and historical value--becoming the foundation of my book "Taylor Camp" and our award-winning film, The Edge of Paradise. The Society published "The Kauai Album" in 1981—a year before hurricane Iwa damaged or destroyed many of the buildings in our survey.
