We made a new friend in Hawaii.

I finally had an ideal chance to play with my ND and polarizer filters… and capture some wonderful shots (like the one below) at the same time.

I have been looking forward to this day for quite some time. I have been itching to get myself back to Hawaii, but realistically (especially now that I am fulltime at my job), that most likely won’t be happening until my birthday next year. Since I can’t have Hawaii for the time being, I’ve been itching for any beach scenario, really. There’s nothing like digging my toes in the sand and finding my peace there while listening to ocean waves crash.
Karri decided we needed to return to this spot– we actually camped there together back in 2005 not too long after I first met her. I agreed. We started inviting a handful of our friends… and voila! We’ve got a [...]

A lot of you have probably seen some on Elissa and Karri’s profiles, but in case you haven’t, I have added them to my site’s collection.

More from my cameras coming soon…

Managed to squeeze in a few minutes to upload a few. Trust me, waaaaay more to come when I have more time!

Time to head out for my weekend with Rikets!

So we have all returned from Hawaii! I know we obviously didn’t get a lot of blogging done while we were out there, but hey, we were too busy staying active on the island. When we have time, we’ll start posting photos and video footage soon… Just give us some time to recoop.
And perhaps give me a week considering I won’t be recooping at all this weekend.
Why?
Because I will be out with The Gun Slingers Tour this weekend featuring my boys in Rikets and Butcher Jones!

Hi there! I just wanted to check in from Hawaii…
We have just hit Day 3, and this trip has been PERFECT already.
This trip couldn’t have come at a better time for all of us. We all needed to RELAX for a change. No stress about work. No stress about personal problems. I made a couple simple rules for this trip… NO negativity. NO stressing about ANYTHING. Everything we have to stress about at home in L.A…. STAYS IN L.A. Worry about it when we get back… Anything that might be stressful out here? Take a breather, calm down, and just let things run it’s course. Go with the flow. No mentioning names or subjects that have been draining our mental [...]

Crystal waters and white sands, here we come!!!

…and it will be back to this…

….only with the wonderful addition of my dear friends Karri and Elissa! (and obviously in Hawaii this time, instead of the Bahamas)

…and I couldn’t be more excited!!!
