Since our first days in Tahiti, I had been obsessed with getting a perfect picture of the abandoned hotel at Tahara’a<\/a>. But in the blink of an eye, time had passed, and our two-month stay was coming to an end. And a combination of temperamental weather and other holiday occupations limited the time I could allocate to photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually I got two pleasing photos of the hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One is taken from the hills of Arue<\/a> in the afternoon light, and the other, from Lafayette Beach on an early morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
