I am a surfer, explorer, photographer, snowboarder, skier, fisherman and family man who's been living in Hawaii for 30 years.

I live in Idaho now and travel to my Hawaii home twice a year for my tropical large surf fix. I also travel to Oregon/California (my original home state) for ocean trips.

My passion is for action, especially water. To capture in a frozen moment life's beauty of everchanging movement.

Tom Candelaria's Photography is in galleries in Hawaii and California.

"The Beauty of the planet is ours to explore, enjoy and treat with respect for our future generations."

I hope you enjoy your visit!
