These postcards are an idea I'm experimenting with using my numerous collected cutouts from tourism brochures and Hawaii travel magazines. The backgrounds show places that I have photographed around the island that you are unlikely to see in advertised or highlighted in a travel mag. I've been focusing on mundane sites like shopping centers and parking lots. I have also been drawn to any sites that include signs with warnings like "No swimming, no fishing, no trespassing or kapu (forbidden)." I like the idea of placing the stereotypical tourist icon against a mundane background or near a warning sign - the opposite of what you would expect on a flashy postcard.
