Honolulu March 2014
Work brought me back to Honolulu and as usual all work & very little play. I did manage to go to Roy’s in Waikiki. It’s a tradition with me. The following night I had dinner with the Asato’s and they took me to a place called HASR Bistro. They own the wine shop next door …
Mad Chemistry Teacher
Sandy had the great idea to shoot a Kathy Portrait in a chemistry setting. I faced obstacles as usual. I forgot to put in fresh batteries in my speedlites (rookie) which gave me inconsistent results & it was the 1st time I used a fog machine.

Gemstones
I got Sandy a nice blue orchid. I thought I should photograph it as it’ll never look this good again.

Jim Pire
We got together with Jim & Kelly again and had a wonderful dinner at Nido. What better opportunity to shoot a portrait.
