A document of my trip to the island of Oahu in Hawai'i. Song - "Ulili E" by Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole

Another personal gem from my digital photo archives. This was taken while passing through a bridge in a Southern USA journey. I was intrigued by the very structure of what looks like yarn string holding a metallic frame.

While combing through some old photographs, I came upon this striking photograph of a friend, the beautiful Alisha Pillay. I call it a 'Moment of Sincerity' as this shot was invariably between looks. This was one of a series of photographs we took on an impromptu photo session while working together in Los Angeles in 2012. 

'Mont' - I randomly met Mont at a restaurant in Winter Park, Florida where I thought he was a manager. I was looking to setup a photo shoot there but Mont was eager to be photographed and this was the result. He ended up being called inside and he wasn't the manager.
