@bruceomori is, in his own words, "obsessed" with lava. He’s also asthmatic and allergic to sulfur. When Omori, 58, grew up in Hilo, on Hawaii’s Big Island, his mother—a nurse—would keep him away from #Kilauea during school field trips to the nearby Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. "I was one of the two kids stuck on the bus with the windows up and the air conditioning on, and I’d be walking the bus, watching the kids do their projects while I had to do my work inside," he tells TIME. “I had this burning desire to get up close to the lava, but always had this fear that my mom instilled in me." Fast forward to 2008: a few years after leaving his longtime job at a mechanical engineering firm and falling back into photography, Omori got the opportunity to photograph lava. He estimates he has spent "thousands and thousands of hours" photographing lava. Over the years, as the smartphone put a camera in every hand, once easily accessible areas have become more restrictive. Now, he does most of his shooting from a helicopter. That’s what he did on May 6, during the latest volcanic activity at Kilauea. Magma flow into the nearby lower East Rift Zone resulted in several lava- and gas-releasing fissures in the Leilani Estates subdivision near Pahoa, seen here, where more than two dozen homes have been destroyed. "While we were hovering, we saw two homes get taken by the flow," he says. "If you’ve ever seen a flow move through an area, there’s nothing that can stop it. Absolutely nothing."
