Maui Highlights: Hana Road

05060008

After our trip to Oahu, my mom, boyfriend and I jumped on a plane to Maui. Since we only had one full day to enjoy the island we were lucky enough to get advice from the locals on what to do. So we chose to do Hana Highway which takes you around the prime spots on the island. The best part is that you can do a self-guided tour and chose to stop off anywhere you want. I only wish I had more time to explore Maui. I guess there’s always next time.

Watch us get crushed by some massive waves! LOL.

New Video: Oahu Highlights

During my family trip to Hawaii, I wanted to test out how well the iPhone 6s captured video as well as put together a memento we could all look back at. So here are the highlights of our trip mashed up into a small video. Overall, I think the quality of the video from the iPhone was better than I anticipated. Let me know what you guys think.

Exploring Hawaii: An Overdue Family Vacay

aloha1

I spent about a week getting reacquainted with the dynamics of my family. It had been years (so many that I can’t even remember how many) since we’d been on a family trip together. The travelers were my boyfriend (Ian) my older sister (Momo), her husband (Alex), their kids (Aria and Jayden), and my mom.

The journey was documented through film photographs and video that will be up in a separate post.

Check out some 35mm photos from our fun exploration:

Camping @Navajo Lake: How to get 3 noise complaints

A group of sixteen friends set off for a weekend getaway in Utah for a little camping fun. Since the majority of the group had to leave late on Friday, a few of us set out to secure camping spots for our big group. Little did we know that the rest of the gang would arrive past “quiet hours” thus resulting in three noise complaints and a lot of stinkeye from other campers at Navajo.

Here are some memories I captured with my Olympus Stylus:
