Koki Kids

 These past 7 weeks I have experienced a few days that were filled with these kids. From 4 months to 7 years, they fill a space together and interact in the most transparent ways, smiling when they mean it and screaming when mean it. It's refreshing. I don't like putting black and whites together, but I think it works alright here. The kids keep it together.

Mahele Farm

 Mahele Farm is, in the words of my friend Mikala, "a living farm".  Mahele means to share, to divide. For the past few Sunday's I have been photographing the people who come to Mahele to work for a few hours and take home a box of fresh, organic veggies, fruits, and whatever else the garden gives. Kids, parents, and grandparents weed, plant, and harvest side by side in the dirt rain or shine, and on the East side it rains and shines most days.
