Born and raised in Hawaii; 3rd-generation Uchinanchu, 4th-generation Yamatunchu (it makes a difference to those that care about such things). Served in the active-duty U.S.M.C., most of adult life in government service.

 

Sucker for rich blues and purples... but like any rich color. And monochrome, when used properly.

 

Drink less than I might want, but much less than my stream might indicate.

 

Still trying to figure out which way is up...

He is a person with awesome talents, and with awesome equipment. Look at his photos, folks, and you'll see what I mean. But behind the equipment is a man, so unassuming and humble to a fault. Never one to preach, but always generous with advice, and quick to offer his equipment for you to borrow, WITHOUT a return policy! Through my association with him, new doors of photographic opportunities have opened, and I am truly grateful. Thanks Todd!

We have a nice flickr ohana here in Hawaii, but I have to say that nobody manages to capture such nice sunsets as "rubbah_slippahs." He is a gentleman with fine eyes and some amazing Nikkor glass.
