my favorite cellphone pictures after going round and round on a topic for this assignment,

I finally chose something I could relate to and hopefully would be

easy to do. after much struggle, I decided to use images taken with

my cellphone.

i chose my favorites and

loosely grouped them by

type.

the first group consists of photos from around my

neighborhood. that first photo just happened by ac-

cident. i was walking back to my hale from “town”

and just prior to an intense rain shower a magnifi-

cent double rainbow appeared.

these lovely flowers bloom all Summer long on the Plumeria tree just off the back lanai of my little hale

i bought this ukulele from a friend of mine that

needed some

fast cash.

he’s a good

guy and gave

me a decent

deal (maybe?).

anyway, it’s a

nice uke. So I

was strumming

along on it

one afternoon

and the light

looked just

right (i wanted

to show my new

purchase to my

dad) so I just set it up on the rail and snapped this

lovely photo. I think it makes a nice composition and

takes advantage of the lights and shadows.

Nashville, TN - August 2012

these are from my trip to the mainland last summer. i flew into Crestview, FL to meet up with my dad and his wife

and we went to Nashville to visit my sister and her kids. be-ing a festive bunch as we are we went down to the little indoor/outdoor bar for happy hour. what you can’t tell from these pictures is that it’s sweltering hot and it’s just before sunset! we were walking along and i turned around and caught my neice walking with my dad. a lot of love there, let me tell ya ;-)

Lahaina Noon - July 11, 2012

Wailua Golf and Country Club 12:42 pm

this was definitely a cool serendipitous mo-ment. while golfing with my good buddy Duane, I said “hey isn’t today Lahaina Noon?” well he whips out the smartphone to verify and sure enough, we were just in time to catch 100% virtical shadows. it only happens in the tropics and it only happens twice a year.

i was admiring this incredible handmade wooden wa’a when suddenly these two lovely ladies step into the frame. thanks girls (i think it makes for a much more interesting composition)
