I’m really happy with these. Hope you all are too. @christianvh thanks for getting sandy.
I could really have another swim on that beach again. Sigh.

The overgrown plant life in Kauai is incredible. @vassanta walked ahead of me after shooting in the creek and said “look at all this we need to shoot this.” So we did. The leaves were so huge I wanted to use them for more than just a backdrop so I asked her to cover her face with one of the leaves. Then the mosquitos arrived… And we ran.








@Vassanta and I dodged the tourists and caught some little waterfalls…






For some reason each time @Vassanta and I work together we find something a little magical; from the perfect beach, to a river filled with gold flakes floating in it, to a piano randomly parked in the woods, this time we found Jacob’s Cabin from the famed TV Series LOST. LOST was filmed on the island of Kauai mostly on the North Shore and the Napali Coast, so I totally know Jacob paid us a little visit. We didn’t have much time here due to mosquitos but here are some images I just worked on this evening…
When I tried to find the cabin again it was gone. True Story. LOL (only LOST geeks will get that) Vassanta even found some fruit. Typical Kate move.


@carlotta and I went to the south side of the island to find a glass beach that was devoid of glass, instead we found theses images. then we went to Waimea Canyon and enjoyed the Pacific’s grand canyon and Carly got attacked by a chicken. bawk!







Here are some more images @tara and I made walking around finding magic here and there…
Her posing with the tree was just incredible and I can’t choose “the one.”










Working on my second shoot of the fest that I had with @tara who I first worked with in 2006. I love to work with models more than one time. Once you figure out how each other works on the first shoot it’s over, the good stuff comes on shoot 2 and 3 and on and on. Here are a couple I just finished working on… more to come. We had a good shoot. For the first few days of the festival this location provided much tranquility and privacy and people who didn’t mind. If it had only lasted… but that is another story…
It was the perfect place to swim in calm water. A part of me is still there I think.




While we were in the water shooting the Frigate Birds kept diving and flying by giving us a great show. I wonder if they wondered about us. 😉

This was really a tree built for two.
