6 Days in Hawaii

Just came back from a quick break in Hawaii. What a beautiful place. The weather was just perfect. The water is so blue, the waves plentiful. You could snorkel and scuba dive to your heart’s content. I’ve uploaded a bunch of pictures that I took over there. I’ve mixed it up with some still life images inspired by place settings that I saw and food that I ate in Waikiki. If you have any comments, post them here. I’d love to hear from you.

I’ve decided to focus my travel photography more in the conceptual side and more food related too. I just don’t know how I’m going to do it. I have this idea of taking pictures of backgrounds (like tables and chairs) so that I can composite it on food shots that I will later do in my studio. I’ve always been interested in compositing. The main picture in this series is such an attempt: Eating Taro in Hawaii. Taro is very popular in Hawaii so I created this image that ties all my interests together in one image – food, portraiture, & travel.

Hi Jonah-
I love your new website! It’s laid out like a magazine! I’m enjoying reading it. I know you want to write about food, but man you have to write about how you created this website too. I’ll have to check out textpattern now.
