Mahalo!

I have never seen so many stars in the sky as I do in Hawaii. I only hope this photo conveys a fraction of the beauty.

I actually find Hawaii one of the toughest places I have ever photographed. This may sound funny but I have always explained to aspiring photographers that their job is not to photograph something beautiful and automatically think it will make your photo beautiful, you need to find something and make it your own. Take a photo that the person next to you would not recognize because you added your style the situation. Here in Hawaii I find that I don’t see many things to take photos of because there is no way for me to make it better than what I see. I drove/walked around this morning for nearly 90 minutes and did not take a single photo.

In addition, I HATE sunset photos; seeing them and taking them. But, I am trying to force myself to get over that so here is my first go at a sunset.
