Beach Where I Belong!!!

I used to hate going to the beach. Waves, sharks, jellyfish..., how could I love the place? Well, it has changed completely since I went to Hawaii 10 years ago and learned to surf there. Since the day I surfed for the first time at Temple Beach in Laie, Hawaii, surfing has become my life. Surfing has been the way I show appreciation towards and communicate with the mother nature.

This photograph is the place I surf in Japan. I love the scene with waves, sand, mountain, sunset, and the driftwood.

Maia: Portrait

I love shooting her photographs because she isn't only cute but also cool.

I went to the park with her that morning while her older brothers were in the kindergarten and mom and baby in the home.

USJ with In-Laws

Last month of April, my wife's family got together to celebrate their dad's 60th birthday at so-called USJ, the UNIVERSAL STUDIOS JAPAN. He has been blessed with a faithful wife, 3 wonderful kids, and 7 lovely grand kids.

It was kinda challenging experience for me to shoot their photographs while watching over those naughty kids and enjoying the atmosphere of the park at the same time. To be honest, I hate those coaster rides and stuffs, but of course, it was fun to be there for sure!!!

SAKURA: Cherry Blossoms

The warm spring has brought the heavenly gift that only one word of explanation can think of. Sakura: Cherry blossoms is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

Much mahalo to my little models. I got to capture your moment!
