Memories from Maui

Here's a small collection of shots taken during vacations and submissions for the Maui Photo festival and Workshops.

I'll explain the images later but for now, enjoy them.

A Preview

Mary asked me to work with her to create some head shots. 

I agreed.

Preview of the Kahulanui concert

Last nights concert was pure joy. A 5 piece band whispering Hawaiian love songs while some on some tunes they brought out the horns...

Don't play with Fire

I asked Tiana Leigh LaRosa and Kainoa Leong-Aguon if I could photograph Tiana's Tahitian dancer and Kainoa's fire dancer routines. They agreed and here are the results.

A Partly Cloudy Day in Kona

The day had so much promise. I was suppose to go with a group of 5-6 folks on a 45' Catamaran to photograph some surfers and SUP. As I was driving down the hill towards the harbor I got a phone call saying that the sailing trip had been called off due to the boat owner being on call to rescue a boat that had run aground up north. So what do you do when you can't go sailing to photograph surfers? Go to Banyan and shoot them from the shore.

Thanks go out to Danielle Zirkelbach!

The Cinco De Mayo Super Moon

According to NASA's website Yesterday's moon was a super moon.

May 2, 2012:  The full Moon has a reputation for trouble. It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through drapes. If a moonbeam wakes you up on the night of May 5th, 2012, you might want to get out of bed and take a look.  This May’s full Moon is a "super Moon,” as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2012.

Balloons Encore!

Well Lauren, Clint and I decided to do the Balloon shoot again.  This time using balloons that had real helium in 'em for lift.  The Helium helped to keep our balloons aloft so the first part of our shoot started off nicely but soon security rolled in and asked us to leave the nice studio that we'd created in the former Kona Border's Book Stores underground parking lot.  These shots are from our secret studio.  I hope you enjoy them.... Cheese it, the cops!!!
