Hey everyone. Just sharing that I had another great photo shoot with @roxannemari1z She is great to work with. She needed some up dated pics of her for her website that is re launching.

Amazing lighting result as you can see. Achieved with very little effort. Takes a few mins only to setup. Worth every p

AMAZING!!!! I finally went night snorkeling with Mantas. I was doing Photography for Anelakai Adventures, a manta tour company. It was amazing to swim with the mantas.

Even on these little Hawaiian islands 2000 miles from the continental US we are feeling the repercussions, which most islanders have never experience. The islands were always sheltered from the politics in Washington. We are not however. Hawaii has had sho

FINALLY! I have been trying for so long to find a decent video editor for windows that has all the options of a pro program like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere CC.

Now Adobe is the obvious choice sine I use windows, however from day
