This was a new experience for me. I’d never been to a Haiku Ho‘olaule‘a Flower Festival in all the time I’ve lived on Maui. I had no idea it was such a huge event. And now I understand why you don’t see many flowers at the Maui Country Ag Festival, which was just a couple [...]

On the first Saturday in April, it seems like the entire island gathers at the Maui Tropical Plantation to celebrate farmers, ranchers and agricultural allies in Maui County. This year, I didn’t have any responsibilities or obligations. I just went to support my friends. Of [...]

It began with a trip to the airport to meet my social media colleagues Jon Letman from Kauai, Laura Kinoshita from Kona on the big island of Hawaii and Melissa [...]
It’s been almost a week, and I’m still buzzing from our tremendous TEDxMaui 2013 event last Sunday. Over 1000 people attended, and we even saw surprise guests Mick Fleetwood and Steven Tyler show up in the audience, backstage and mingling with the crowd during the breaks and after party. I can honestly that while TEDxMaui [...]
It’s been cloudy in South Kihei lately, so the sunsets haven’t cooperated much, but this being the day before New Year’s Eve (and my not being available to shoot during sunset tomorrow) I decided to run down to Keawakapu Beach and give it a go. On days like this, it’s always fun to use the [...]
