The Directory

The cover of the 2011 Edition of The Directory, our Ka'u Business and Community Resource Guide, features the photography of Peter Anderson, of Na'alehu - the winner of the cover art context for The Directory 2011. The art show and contest was held at Ka'u Federal Credit Union's Na'alehu office where the publick voted for their favorite pieces during the weeklong exhibition.

About the Artist: Anderson says he was photographing a pair of nene off Highway 11 in the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park area when the male decided to lead his partner away from Anderson and into the underbrush. He walked ahead of them and waited patiently until they emerged again, and then too his final few shots. "It was worth the wait," he said. "this one photo I believe captured that very special "buzz off" look he gave me when he discovered that I was still hanging around."

Anderson's photos of Ka'u have graced the pages of previous issues of The Directory as well as The Ka'u Calendar. In addition to being a photographer, he is a member of the Back to the 50's Trio that plays at various venues in Ka'u.

The Directory 2011 is widely available and can be picked up for free at merchants throughout Ocean View, Na'alehu, Pahala and Volcano.
