Portland Wedding

October 28, 2008 – 9:30 pm

Some where on another I promised to post images from this wedding I did in Portland a few months ago.  I am in catch up mode now and loved a few of these images from Ashley and Kevin’s wedding.  I love flying to destinations to shoot weddings.  The difference is that I get to live on Maui and shoot here daily and then travel to the Mainland to shoot events that most other wedding photographers get to shoot every day and hope to someday be able to go to Maui and shoot a wedding.  I am so in love with what I get to do and to be able to tell stories about special days in peoples lives. I am truly blessed.

Voodoo Donuts?

October 18, 2008 – 3:28 pm

I am visiting Portland Oregon today and spent the day with my daughter Sally and her Husband Dave.  We went exploring downtown.  I moved to Maui from Portland and it was good to see downtown again and all of my old stomping grounds.  The University of Oregon ( Sally and I are alums) opened a new downtown Portland campus.  There is a Digital Arts department there.  I would love to go and be a guest digital photo teacher there sometime.  We went to the Saturday market, to Urban Outfitters (Lucky Lexi) and best of all to Voodoo Donuts.  It is a hole in the wall in the heart of old Portland.  There was about a 20 people line out the door and they have some of the weirdest donuts I have ever seen. Being a donut fan it was a blast.  If you are ever on Portland give it a try.  I am home on Monday then off to San Francisco on Tuesday to shoot a bar mitzvah.  My first one.  I am very excited about that.  As soon as I get back I will have more wedding photos to post.  We have shot some  very cool weddings lately and want to share them with you.

Camping on Maui

October 13, 2008 – 11:27 pm

One of the most special things about living on Maui is that when you have some time off you have some of the most amazing places on earth to go to. People save up a life time to come here and see some of these places and we can enjoy them on a regular basis. One of our favorite things to do is to go camping at Ohe’o Pools about 10 miles past Hana. It is also sometimes know as the Seven Pools. It is a beautiful drive and Zach, my 9 year old son, and I had a “boys go camping” overnighter. It was a blast and a time off so appreciated. Family is what we do this for and times like this are why it is all worth it. Here are a few shots of our trip.

This beautiful waterfall is a 2 mile hike from the campground. The day before there was almost no water going over the falls. It rained all night and it was flowing with lots of water when we got there.

The bamboo forest is to thick it blocks most of the light.

I want to shoot a bride in her wedding dress on these staris so bad.
I love how the bamboo forest looks from above
This shot was taken with my new 10mm lens. This lens rounds out my collection. I think I am going to like it a lot.
This was taken at Keani. It is the 1/2 way point on the drive to Hana. Another shot with my 10-17mm lens.
This is Zachs favorite shot. Still playing with the 10mm fisheye.
This cave is at the black sand beach near Hana. We went in the Lave Tubes in Hana also and could not seem to get enough of the caves.

Nick’s Fish Market

October 6, 2008 – 3:01 pm

Part of what this blog is about is to bring you some local insight on places I love.  One of my favorite restaurants in the world is Nick’s Fishmarket that is found in the Fairmont Kea Lani resort found in Wailea on Maui.  We live just down the road and I take my wife Steph there often after shooting a beach wedding.  It is a bit on the expensive side but we go sit at the bar and enjoy the beautiful tropical atmosphere and order some of the best appetizers in the world.  Here is our usual.  Calamari is a must.  Theirs is the best I have ever had. Kalua Pig Pot Stickers are also very good.  Top it off with one of their Greek Maui Wowie Salads and you are good to go.  Steph like a nice glass of wine while I enjoy their Mango Daiquiri’s.  My favorite drink in the world. After that all settles have one of their signature desserts.  Just ask for the strawberry’s on fire dessert.  It is an experience all on its own.  by the way the iPhone takes great photos.  Here is one of the Strawberry Dessert I shot last week.
