Evolution of Epicness

I must admit that looking back, living in Hawaii was pretty spectacular. It is unfortunate the human condition of assumptions and taking things for granted. I only began to see the negatives there - traffic, cultural collisions, expenses, you name it.

But, perhaps the best thing I have from it all are the images.

As a wildlife and nature photographer of many years (only as a "hobbyist"), I hold a treasure trove of over 40,000 images. One of my favorite things to do is crack open my massive photo library and look at photos I took one year ago (or two or three) from today. It helps me look at life in slices.

While looking through my collection tonight, I came across some from a hike I took on the island of Kauai with my friend Nate. He flew in from Portland, OR and we both tackled the 22 mile Kalalau trail. This trail meanders along the Na Pali Coast. We did it in two days. It was a truly amazing experience.

I have also come to notice how Florida, while devoid of scapes such as these, holds its own beauty and uniqueness.

I want to share more of my photos with you - my clients and my friends - to let us all get to know each other better. While I am a photographer first, we all have fascinating stories we should be sharing.

I'll post some of these personal stories from time to time (it depends how good my espresso is I guess). Feel free to share yours in the comments, or just read and smile.
