The Manifest on First Friday’s.

Feburary’s First Friday consisted of Red Bull Thre3style’s 2012 Chicago champ Mike 2600 with DJ’s SSSolution and Jonccc.

I’ve been taking event photos at The Manifest for over a year now and it’s been a blessing. You can never tell that this is Hawaii.

This Saturday night was the opening of “Love Letters” Art Show at Prototype.

I went to support my friends Spel Oner, WerdupStu and Cloud, who are very amazing artists.

Just recently shot the F/W ‘12 lookbook for Freelance, a local brand out here. They’ve always supported me in my endeavors and events so I was more than happy to be their photographer.

Duke really expressed how much he liked the ocean as a background. I loved the openness and it gave me a lot of playroom for composition.

The second location was at Lana Lane Studios in Kaka’ako. It was my first time there so it was great being able to shoot pretty much…anywhere in Kaka’ako because of the beautiful walls done by Pow Wow Hawai’i.

Thanks Duke and Kiki King!

Few snapshots I got from Contrast Magazine’s “9 On The Wall.” So surreal seeing my photos in print. I swear I get chicken skin every time. It’s like an infusion of inspiration.

Thanks again to the genius, Mark Kushimi for setting this up. It was amazing.

Check it out at The Human Imagination.

Poi Donuts from Kamehameha Bakery

I made it through morning traffic to start Dilla Day with Kavet and Lofa of Lightsleepers, who were giving away free coffee from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf and free donuts from Kamehameha Bakery (poi donuts, what whattt?). They were also celebrating the release of the DAFP (Donuts Are Forever Pack) and of course, the birthday of one of my favorite producers (and pretty much the whole world’s) James J-Dilla Yancey. The best part was that portions of the package went to Lupus Hawaii and the J-Dilla Foundation. I couldn’t think of a better cause.

Cop the DAFP here.
