Thank you God!!

Show of hands~ Who saw the commercial for these and flipped out and did a handstand and lick the T.V screen? Dont be shy, because I did. I saw the commercial about 3weeks ago and have been on the hunt for them. Well I found them! Yup, I found them at a 711 and I bought 6 bags!

Ok what these are, is Reese's cup but SMALLER. No, these are not the Bites that are in the foil. These are 1/3 the size of those! In other words, TINY!
This isnt a review, Im telling you to get them. Go now! Go! :]
Now if you dont mind I have 2 more bags to finish up~ <3

Reina de la noche

"Queen of the night"

The Night-blooming Cereus is also known as the Lunar Flower or Moon Flower.
A green, long, dead, ugly plant that looks much like a cactus with no thorns, surrounds Punahou School. But little do many know, these plants are really the Night-blooming Cereus! A plant that's flowers only blooms twice a year, at night. So getting a glimpse of this rare sight is something I had to shoot. It was well worth missing work to catch this interesting and rare flower on film~

3rd annual Convention of Noise

So for those who don't know I am a photographer for SpeedHawaii.com (check it out btw lol) and what I do is go to car shows, meets or anything car related and shoot pictures and book photo shoots for featured rides for the site (check it out btw LOL).
SpeedHawaii was asked if we could cover the 3rd annual Convention of Noise at ForJworks. Many of the staff members couldn't make it so it was up to me and another photographer, Rhi Kanda. So the first challenge was squeezing through thick traffic to get to the Pearl City meet. While in traffic I spotted Rhi driving and was able to get in front of her to lead her to the place. After a few tries, we found the place. A small group of 20 and their bikes talking story and enjoying beers and home made cookies.
The two owners were very happy to see us and got all the bikes ready to be shot one by one. Each was built in their own way by different people. After seeing these small bikes, it made me want one. LOL

This hasn't even been posted on SpeedHawaii.com (check it out btw lmao) yet so you are getting first look at this. Please enjoy the beauty of the Ruckus and the hard work put into them. :]

"The Zoomer is a motorscooter developed by Honda and introduced in Japan and America in late 2002. In Canada and the USA, the scooter is sold as the Ruckus. The Zoomer differs from more traditional scooters with its rugged design, including fatter tires with deeper tread and a skeleton frame that intentionally lacks an enclosed storage compartment."

Homemade doughnuts!!

So I love doughnuts~ that's a fact. I love so cook/bake too~ So one day when I had some free time, I made doughnuts from scratch. The recipe came from Alton Brown's "Good Eats" episode about doughnuts. They came out so yummy! I have to make them with the wife next time~ She would love it!

You can see how I used a korean metal dish to cut the shape and then used a small cup that is used to measure out cough syrup to cut out the doughnut holes. ><;;;

Ilikai Yacht harbor adventure

Funny Story time!!
I went to shoot at the Ilikai yacht harbor to shoot the boats and what not. So I was walking around looking for nice sets to shoot and I walked down the docks and notice that the fence that leads out to the private docks was open. So of course I take advantage of this and sneak onto the private docks to get some killer shots. Setting up taking shots I get a tap on my shoulder by the cops! Telling me I had to leave. LOL!! I left embarrassed but I also left with some awesome pictures.
