Black Dress. Red Skirt. Maui Forest.

Photography

One of my best friends happened to be visiting her family on Maui while I was there, so we spent a couple awesome days together, and even managed to squeeze in an impromptu photo shoot up in Olinda. With one of her black dresses, and an amazing $6 thrift store silk circle skirt, I got to do some experiments with motion.

But first, a solo beauty shot of my green-eyed girl, lying on the forest floor with geraniums in her hair. Spontaneity has been good for my work!:

black dress. stillness and motion.

President Obama and Family Depart Hawaii

Adventures, Photography

EDIT: Here’s a brief clip I threw together of the First Family’s departure:

I was honored to be asked by PACAF to return to Hickam AFB to photograph the Obama family’s departure back to Washington DC. Again, the lighting situation was difficult to work with, and this time my focus also failed me, but here are my photographs from the event (There’s always next year, right??):

Beautiful evening sky above Hangar 5.

New Year’s Eve 2010-2011, Honolulu

Photography

With my husband still gone for this New Year’s Eve, I chose to spend it doing photography rather than going out to party. I ended up going to do some light writing and sparklers with my friend Ricky before we drove up above Liliha area to photograph some of the many illegal aerials going off around the city. Later, I returned back to my neighborhood in time to catch the intense midnight explosions going off around us, and then did some smokey long exposures while walking back home.  If I manage to get my video clips together, I’ll post those later!

Note: The squiggly lines in some of my shots are those new paper lanterns that were being sold this year…they were super neat!
