Talons

The points of these palm leaves are very sharp ... several years ago I found out the hard way ... ouch.

The Why

After beginning the HNL RareBirds blog, I wanted to put together a photo-a-day blog of my non-aviation photos ... whatever caught my eye at that time I had one of my cameras with me, and the story behind the photo. I will also include photos from projects I have done, like commercial shoots, weddings, and senior portraits. I'll sneak in aviation-related photos here and there, mostly photos that are not on my airliner blog.

Being a videographer for the past 35 years, I am used to capturing moving images. With photography, I am now capturing moments in time, sometimes at very small fractions of a second. It's a totally different mindset, on two different levels of creativity, though the basics for both, photo and video are the same.

Over the past few years, I have been blessed to have a few dozen photos published in several international airliner magazines, and other publications, along with articles I wrote, or co-wrote.

I thank Jesus Christ, my Lord & Saviour, for the creativity and inspiration to take these photos, for putting me in the right place & time, or for the idea to modify them. I thank all of my photographer friends for your support and advice, also for pushing my creativity further.

... And, I thank you all in advance for taking the time to check out the photos, and for the comments you leave, which are greatly appreciated.

Aloha!
