Thirty Meter Telescope Construction
2015 December 16 FTR - HSA Photo by Jamm Aquino.
****POY 2015, I made this shot after establishing a relationship with my subjects atop Mauna Kea. One of the most vital aspects of being a photojournalist is the ability to earn your subjects' trust. With the gravity of the Thirty Meter Telescope situation, I knew that the story that should be told had to be one of emotion, power, and spirit. I feel this image has all of these elements.****

Construction on the Thirty Meter Telescope is set to resume June 24 after a nearly two-month hiatus during clashes with opponents of the project who view the mountain as a sacred place.
