Travel Series - Hawai'i

Check out my trip to Hawai’i on the island of Oahu celebrating my friends birthday.

In Search of ... Paradise

I never thought in my life that I would be going to Hawai'i, Honolulu on the island of O'ahu to be exact. For weeks we been planning a trip, originally the first trip we were looing into was Africa. With such short time before this trip. Trying to find the flights, hotel, and shoots... oh yeah shots just to travel to Africa. So, Honolulu was the final decision. Within one day we found a hotel and car rental everything was finalize. Two weeks later and off we go. 

On the plane the there I was chatting with another passenger and learned of a few things to do while there. She gave me a few things to check out, and we did none of it, but we did end up stuck on a 10 mile highway going the wrong direction. We landed, took pictures and got the rental. Just like most of the hotels we've had on many other trips. This was one okay. After we finally settling in, we went exploring a bit during the day. Later that night we went hiking on a trail that was not very beginner to say the least. It was an old rail system that went up the mountain that only gets steeper higher you get. About half way up, Chris and Jacob headed back because it was getting a little dangerous in the tracks, and we were concerned about Jacobs health, as he was bigger than all of us. 

Enough of the introductions check out the the photos and video below.

I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.
