I shot Justin and Angela's wedding in Chinatown April 24th, 2008. Happy 3 year anniversary!
This was a beautiful January day at Koolina on Oahu's west side. I love shooting over here.
Kawela bay is a nice secluded bay on the north shore of Oahu. Great place to get married.
I have to be the worst blogger of any photographer I know but sooner or later I do get around to blogging. In a very random haphazard manner. Here's a few pics from a December wedding shot at Laie LDS Temple on the North shore of Oahu. Thanks Aileen and Peter-- I had a great time.
Just had my Dryzone camera backpack replace for free under Lowepro's lifetime warrantee. Having some zipper issues.
Got to love that. In my 20 years of shooting I've had a ton of their bags.

One of the first photographers I fell in love with was Richard Avedon. He was a fashion photographer in New York who did some really beautiful portrait work. His book of portraits entitled "In the American West" impressed me a lot when I found in my second year of college. I miss being near a college with a large collection of great photo books. I just did a quick search on ebay for copies of the book and found them going for about $200. I love the internet because you can quickly find all kinds of photographers to inspire you but you really miss a lot of the nuances of photography that you can get from a really well produced photo book. I have a 30 inch monitor with a little over 4 million pixels but it doesn't compare to the detail you find on a large photo book.
My favorite lens is my Canon 50mm f1.2. When people talk about lenses they always talk about two things-- the focal length and the aperture. The focal length (50mm) determines the angle of view or the magnification of the subject. A 50mm lens sits right in the middle of the range-- not much magnification and not a particularly wide field of view. The second part of the lens description is the aperture-- in this case f/1.2. The aperture controls the amount of light let in the lens. The smaller the number the more light the lens lets in. Larger apertures also create a smooth blurry background behind the subject in focus. That is actually my favorite part about this lens. It's very flattering for portraits. When you put this lens on a 5dII like the one I use for all my weddings you can shoot all the way through the reception without turning on the flash. It's a great lens for shooting in a church where flash photography is off limits.

Moili Gardens is a great location on the east side of Oahu.
