I just spent a week in Hawaii teaching and doing demos at the University of Hawaii on Oahu. What a beautiful place. I cant even begin to describe the beauty, the feeling in the air, the ocean and the amazing people that I met. I am sure a lot of you have already been to the Hawaiian Islands, but this was my first time. I was hosted by my friend Kait Rhoads who is teaching at the University for a semester and changing lives by the minute. I spent a lot of time in the studio but even more time out side. From hiking mountains to swimming oceans to giving tourists reccomendations on places to eat I had a full week. Sunsets, rainbows, sushi, tonkatsu, udon, musube and kimchee! Not to mention getting leid three times!

So here are some photographs from around Oahu. I tried to find texture and focus on the micro compositions and surfaces.

Favorites:  Rainbow Eucalyptus and Iron Wood bark! Holy shit!

Aloha
