Those of you who have been following my blog know that it is an understatement to say that I enjoy photography and film making. They have become my lifestyle and my life support for quite some time now. I decided that I wanted to take a handful of some of my favorite photos that I have taken over the course of this year and share them with you. As I began preparing a standard slideshow I realized that it just wasn't doing the images the justice I felt they deserved. So I dug a little deeper and spent the last Two days at my computer doing what I could to really bring these images to life. I feel...

First of all let me apologize to any Led Zeppelin fans out there who may have accidentally come here hoping to hear one of the best songs ever recorded. Click here to ease your woes. No, this particular post is about the hike I was lucky enough to experience called "Stairway To Heaven" here on Oahu Hawaii. If you want to know the complete history of the stairs click here, but the gist of it is that these stairs were built in 1943 by the Navy to enable them to string communication cables from one side of the island to the other. Later the Naval base was decommissioned in the 50's and was then used...

Hey everyone, remember my post "Making a Mess and New Friends"? It was the first thing I filmed out here in Hawaii. In fact I think it was like the third day I was here? Anyway, Devin finished editing the video and has posted it to his YouTube channel! Now it's time for you to enjoy it :)
The Aftermath
Partners in crime.
Bonus Video:
The song in the mud fight video is by a guy named Kyle Andrews. His music rocks. I helped film a music video for one of his songs (You always make me Smile) last Summer. I highly recommend watching it, and I definitely...

When you get the opportunity to hike an area referred to as "Sacred Falls" you can't really turn it down. What an amazing place. When you come to Hawaii it's easy to spend all your time on the beaches, and for good reason. However, I must say that going inland is just as incredible. I've never felt so detached from the world. The high cliffs rendered my cell phone useless. It was just my friend, his father, and myself walking through the untouched landscape of Oahu. Below is a very shaky, handheld video of this expedition. Enjoy!

I got to be part of something that was quit amazing today. I helped my friend Devin film a "Haka" (hawk-uh) performed by a group of men and women who are renown for their performances and even compete in Haka competitions.
They give nothing less than a 110%
Haka is a traditional dance form of the Māori (indigenous people of New Zealand). However, these are are unlike any dance you have ever seen. They are raw, intense, intimidating and beautiful. Many people are mistaken, and have been mislead to think that there is only one Haka, or that it is a war dance performed only by men....

This post is a bit different from what most people are used to. It's not a long article with photos, but it's also not a VLOG Episode. I went on a hike with some good friends and shot some video while we embarked on our journey. This is just a quick video documenting the experience.
People in the video include my home state friends Adam (has a camera on his head) and Sam (dark shirt, and sunglasses), both from Emery County Utah where we all grew up. They flew out here for a few days to take on the island life for a while. The other two people are my friends and current roommates out here in Hawaii....

You've come to know people throughout your life. Some pass through without hardly any impact at all. Others become good friends, while a select few become part of your life. Everyone around you has knowledge. Their skills, talents, and abilities might be right out in the open, but you may be surprised in the things that have slipped your attention.
A wonderful playground.
I feel like I am quite proficient in many areas. Over the years I have become pretty good at a handful of sports, my skills in film making and photography have skyrocketed, I have composed music, created paintings...

I haven't been in Hawaii very long. Just over a month to be exact. So naturally each day feels incredibly new and fresh. Even when I stay in all day editing on my computer, the sound of the ocean and swaying palm trees out my windows are still very much foreign to me. Each day feels like an adventure, but adventures come in different sizes and last night's adventure was a big, beautiful mess.
Around 3:00pm my roommate Devin suggested that we go camping. The location sounded amazing. A lighthouse perched at the point of the rocky coast complete with WWII bunkers on top. The catch, is that nobody...
