Hawaii Finale
I’ve finally found the time to finish processing photos from last April’s trip to Hawaii. There wasn’t a lot, but the summer provided enough distraction to keep me from its completion. I hope you all can enjoy these photos. Better yet, I hope they inspire you to see such a beautiful place with your own eyes. See the rest of the collection on my flickr.
That One Sunset That I Will Not Forget
Blaine and I stood on a cliff overlooking the green sand beach near Southpoint, Hawaii, on the big island. Each of us taking photos of this and that, avoiding the driving wind and the sand it brought to our camera gear. The sun was making its way down the western sky, but it seemed an instant change when the entire valley on both sides of the cliff glowed with the pinks, oranges, and blues of an incredible sunset. Anyone who knows such a moment knows that these photos do it not justice, yet I still post them if for no other reason, to remember.
The Big Hawaiian Island, Photos Part 2
While in Hawaii a few weeks ago, I made a one day jump over to the big island. My great friends from Hood River, Blaine and Bethany were there for a few weeks after having shot a wedding. Naturally, I had to spend at least a day with them (on an island other than the people-packed Oahu) enjoying a day with the most adventurous people I know. Here are a few photos from the day, which had started off with Kona coffee, snorkeling off a lava beach, and later, journeying to the southern most point in the US and making a loop up to Kilaeua to see the lava glowing in the night. I’ll have more photos to share in a few days as I (slowly) get them edited, so please be a dear and check back soon.

Hawaiian Panorama
These are a few panoramic shots I put together after last week’s trip to Hawaii. My blog was a bit dormant last week, not sure if I’d mentioned the trip in advance to any of you out there. I hope the photos I’ll be posting the next several days will make up for it. It was a grand ole’ time. These photos are all available on my Flickr, as will many more to come as I get around to editing.
Near Southpoint, Hawaii (big island) the pastures remind me of nothing short of Ireland. Not pictured here are the countless rock fences built from black volcanic rock. In case you were wondering, yes, Sigur Ros was on the iPod.
Would have preferred not being in Waikiki, but this sunset softened the blow a bit.

The Adventures Of John And Sandy In Oregon, Part 3
On day 3 of the adventures of John and Sandy in Oregon, we started with the huge tossup of whether to go to the ocean or not. It wasn’t until the folks we had lunch with insisted on it and we changed our plans for the third time that we were decidedly going. I had to call Parker up and convince him that the menial tasks he had lined up to do that afternoon weren’t worth it and he should instead accompany us. (he did)
I was especially proud to take ma and pa to the ocean particularly because dad had never been, and mom probably hadn’t been in about 30 years. Dad wasn’t that excited about it (don’t ask why) until we got there. We had planned on it being somewhat warm when we would get there since it was over 100 degrees all weekend in Hood River, but we quickly felt the 60 degree coastal weather as soon as we arrived. Good thing I had a few backup plans stashed away in my trunk.
