Aloha ʻOe

Honolulu turned out to be a lot different than I thought it would be. It’s a big city with a lot of cars, traffic, and people. I should have known since it is the hub of the islands. Wikipedia told me that Honolulu is the most remote city of its size in the world! The first…

What good is a camera if you can’t knock it around and throw it into the ocean?

You guys might already be aware of my love for disposable cameras. I don’t know if it’s the crummy, low resolution aspect of picture taking or if it’s my nostalgia for the 90s that’s got me head over heels. It’s silly, I know. And it’s getting more and more absurd (especially as a photographer) to carry…

Dublin Round II: Ireland Sober is Ireland Stiff

Sadly our return to Dublin draws an end to our Ireland travels. But I’ve got a feeling I’ll be back soon. This endearing country reminded me a lot of Chicago. It’s so chill. The people are sweet and ready to hang. Everyone just wants good food and good booze. I can sympathize! Then add on the…

Ring of Kerry: Ireland Sober is Ireland Stiff

I think the odds are it’ll rain on ya a bit if you’re in Ireland for a week. The day we decided to drive the Ring of Kerry, we experienced a few downpours, but that was okay with us. Although much of our view was limited, it was still such a sight.The Ring of Kerry…

Killarney: Ireland Sober Is Ireland Stiff

Let’s talk a photo tour of Killarney National Park. It’s right next to the quaint city of Killarney in County Kerry. Founded in 1932 as a donation to Ireland, it preserves native forests and wildlife. It’s huge (25,425 acres in fact) and filled with tiny little roads that curve up and down the landscape. The…

Doolin: Ireland Sober Is Ireland Stiff

Happening upon the tiny coastal village of Doolin in County Clare was a happy accident. It was sunset and we were racing to catch any last few glimpses we could. Keep in mind, that booking it in Ireland as Americans is not that fast. The teeny-weeny roads are absolutely unforgiving. What we would consider a…

Galway: Ireland Sober Is Ireland Stiff

And now we continue the Irish Adventure to Galway. To be honest, it felt like a blur. Despite what the pictures show below, we caught a lot of rain. And when in Ireland, the indoor entertainment is of course having a pint or two…The first night, we made friends with a local couple at a…

The Vancouver Adventure Continues

Maybe you got to see my post from earlier this week, Discovering Vancouver. Those shots were taken with my Canon 5d. One thing I’ve found in my travels is that when you walk around a new city with a giant camera around your neck–the city presents itself to you differently. When I just walk around with…

Discovering Vancouver

It finally happened. I made it to Canada, Vancouver to be exact. It was beautiful and so much bigger than I expected. In fact, it reminded me of Seattle with the architecture, well designed little shops, nearness to nature, and unfortunately the prevalence of homeless people. Even after five days of exploring, I saw so little of this…

Follow Your Folly

I recently got back from a trip across the beautiful state of Colorado. I started in Kim, moved along to San Jose, on to Loveland, then to Denver, and Fort Collins. Little did I know that Fort Collins is the mecca for craft beer drinkers. It’s home to tons of microbreweries and brewpubs, New Belgium…
