2013-08-07 & 08 Nimitz Beach Milkyway Mu-Rang-Sa Korean Buddhist Temple Palolo Valley

Richard's sister Nancy visited this past August so naturally she had to put up with us going out and shooting pictures.  She was a pretty good sport about it...

The first evening Nancy, Brandon and I hit the Central Oahu coastline and shot the Milkyway from Nimitz Beach.

The next evening we stuck around the town area and went to Mu-Rang-Su Korean Buddhist Temple in Palolo Valley.

The clouds parted long enough for me to get this shot.

2013-08-04 Lance Wong Model Angel Diep Downtown

Once again Lance was kind enough to invite me along on to assist on a model shoot.  This is the second time we've worked with Angel and she is a pleasure.  She's quick to laugh and smile and follows directions and suggestions quickly.

Because we were shooting downtown I also looked around and took pictures of things that I saw that were interesting to me.

2013-05-12 Lance model shoot Quynh Downtown Merchant Street

Lance had previously worked with Quynh at Makai Pier on a shoot I was unable to attend, so I was happy when he called and asked if I would assist for a fashion shoot downtown.  We meet initially at the Hawaii Theater then moved down to Merchant Street to work the buildings and street.

2013-08-02 EOH Hilton Hawaiian Village Fireworks Display Magic Island 1st Friday Chinatown

The Eyes of Hawaii photography club tries to have at least one consistent shoot every month at Magic Island for the Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks display.  The show is not very long but it draws a pretty good crowd of people both at the Hilton, up and down Waikiki Beach and at Magic Island across the harbor from the show.

Brandon and I joined them in before we headed off for the 1st Friday block party held in Chinatown.

After the fireworks presentation Brandon and I headed for Chinatown to join in with the 1st Friday revelers.

Not quite sure I focused on the right subject here.

For some reason I really like this particular alley at night.  Every time I go downtown I take a picture.

This was the band playing at Mark's Garage.  They had finished their set and were kind enough to pose for me.

This couple was here visiting from Germany.  They made a documentary film and were showing it against the side of the Hawaii Theater.    

2013-07-30 & 31 Chinatown, Moms Flowers and a Friend

My mother and I visited her friend and afterwards we went exploring and window shopping in Chinatown.

These are part of a floral arrangement my mother brought home from her church.
