Wordless Wednesday: Iron Man

On this busy, busy day I decided to share a simple photo of my son Alaka'i in his Iron Man costume at our church celebration for Hallow Him (on Halloween). This simple photo took forever to edit because I didn't have a real backdrop so I masked out his and 84 other people's photo background and added a digital background. Not easy but...

What Are You Thankful For?

Wordless Wednesday: Serenity

On this rather gloomy day in Hawai'i I thought I'd share a photo from a recent sunrise I shot at Sandy Beach on the south east end of the island of O'ahu.  It was perfect that morning and the colors were so vibrant and beautiful.

The Utter Exhaustion of it all...

I don't know about you, but I've been feeling utterly drained of all energy lately.  I don't know if it's just because the holidays are approaching and preparing for it is both stressful and time consuming, or if it's the fact that I've been working the equivalent of 5 jobs pretty much every single day.  Let me switch gears here and go in...

Starry Night...

A few weeks ago I ventured out to two opposite ends of the island of O'ahu where I live to try my hand at photographing the starry night sky.  It wasn't as easy as taking my camera, pointing it to the sky and shooting, however.  There were a few challenges I had to work out so that I could capture the incredibly beautiful...
