Malia Lauer - hoop dancer, maker, extraordinaire, wearer of "ze stretchy pánts". 

She and I were tromping about with our hoops when that golden Northern California light came through the trees. I ran back to the house to grab my camera, and photographed her dancing in and out of the light until the darkness set in.

The Drive

 We spend so much time in cars

Getting to where we need to be

Want to be

I drove somewhere with my mother for the first time in a while

It was where I wanted to be

Kula

There were three of us

we watched the sunset just a little too late

the sun was gone, but the fire remained

and for the night, I was home

beneath the darkness 

beneath the diamonds

next to you

Pipeline

Hank the night before the contest. 

I was recently on the North shore of Oahu to watch my brother compete in the very thrilling Pipeline Masters. It seemed as if there were 2 photographers for every surfer, so I decided not to take pictures of the surfers, but rather the people around me who watched in anticipation as I did. Here are a few.
