Shy Beginnings

This is 4 year old Taina, my housemate. She is the most sassy one of the family and she enjoys being in the company of everyone.

Wildest Feelings

Tell your friend to act all natural and it turns out into this :) 

Hot Pocket

This is Passion, she loves hot pockets :) And we all love her!

Scent

Here you can really see the light from the window on her face and shining through the flowers.

Always Ready to Play

Our little Football player. 

We went outside to take this picture and took this shot still under the roof to add a shady background. 

Shy No More

After taking a few pictures I moved on to take others and who wanted to continue shooting more?

This girl. Told you she's a sassy one :)

Caught in the Moment 

I really like this picture because it was very spontaneous, being at the right place at the right time.

I like the different highlights in this picture and the white doors reflected more light back on his face and all the items in the shelf.

Strangers

This picture is my favorite in the sense of thinking a little bit further. I found this wall at "The Point" in Laie, but you have to climb down to get to that little niche. The weather was perfect, a bit cloudy but giving light to everything. On the wall you can read a few names but you can tell how many people have carved something inside - without knowing each other their names are written down - they are strangers who come together.

This photo is a dried out crab. I was asking myself how in the world did it get up so high on that rock and why did it die there?
I like this picture because it gives away its surroundings and how high above the ocean we are.

This picture is more about the idea of strange things that don't belong into this environment. Cans and bottles, all kind of trash everywhere...it doesn't belong into nature.

Subject Exploration

Waka Taua a Maori War Canoe

Great detail put into the carving to show their dedication.

Carvings on the side represent ancestors who watch over the warriors

Up to 40 warriors can fit into this Waka Taua
