I regret that I didn't have the presence of mind to shoot his disassembled camera with all those screws, levers, gears, etc, laid out on the light table. All I could think of was him putting it back together and having 3 parts leftover and scratching his head.....but I was wrong. Really humbling.

Psychologically, the sunrise is awesome because you drive to the summit in darkness and cold and to see the world revealed again is quite spiritual. But I don't like getting up at 3:00 am and wiping out my day.
Personally, I'd recommend spending the day driving up Haleakala, lots of turn outs and amazing views, and then to view the sunset. Significantly warmer and by the time you're down the mountain, you're ready for a great dinner and drink in Paia or Makawao.
