Here are some images from Sunday's Cycle to the Sun Bike Race in Maui. For those of you who cycle, you have more than likely heard of this race. Those of you who have yet to see the craziness, the race starts in the small town of Paia, on the North Shore of Maui, and climbs 10,023 FT. to the summit of Haleakala 36 miles away. The event was organized by Go Cycling Maui, and they did a great job getting everything t go as smooth as possible.
How much fun can you have with a beach ball, ten 4 year olds and an ice chest?? Tons of birthday fun! Check out Jersey's 4th b-day in Maui, Hawaii with all of her friends. I had a fun time following this gang around from activity to activity and enjoyed watching them as they played.
This is my favorite way to shoot photos...on the sidelines with clients in a relaxed atomosphere...in this case a big group of 4 year olds.
If you wish to send out a B-Day wish to Jersey, please leave a comment below. She's learning to read now you know.

Today was a really fun day here in Maui. Most people on the island love to be kind to the environment, so a day to celebrate the earth was bound to be a good time.
We started the day with a boat trip from Pacific Whale Foundation. They offered a eco tour, to teach people about the ocean and it's animals. While we were out on the boat we saw Hawaiian Green Turtles and a Baby whale and it's mom. Our good friend Lasha and her mom joined us for the tour, as did Me-Shell and my dad.
Next was off to the Earth Day celebration in Paia. There was so much great music and educational booths to teach people in the community about being more friendly to our earth. We saw so many good friends and the kids we having tons of fun playing in the beach break. The main thing was learning about how we can do our own part in helping clean up and use less in our daily lives.
Here are some photos from today.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.
I went whale watching today with Me-Shell and some of our friends. They took there Kayaks, and we took our Stand Up Paddle boards out to Makena Landing in South Maui. It was such an amazing experience and truly life changing.
We were in the ocean for about an hour or so, when we just stopped paddling and felt like taking a rest. The five of us were enjoying the sun and great views. Casual talk amongst friends, when someone started joking around about how a whale might swim under our surfboards and Kayaks while we sat here.
Not even 2 minutes later I was looking down into the water and I saw a dark shape below the surface. After looking closer at the water I saw that it was a whale. As we sat there on our boards shocked, I saw that the tail was actually attached to a mom whale feeding a baby whale. The whales were only about 15 ft below the service of the water. Everyone started to freak out, but was also really interested in seeing the whales. The Mom whale was around 40-50 ft long and looked so beautiful. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!
After about 5 minutes of watching, the whales starting moving, within seconds the 2 whales got to the surface to get air. When the 2 whale were getting air, we noticed it wasn't just the 2 whales we were watching just a few minutes ago. There were 3 adult whales and 2 baby whales 10 ft from our boards! As they came up to get more air, it felt like you could touch them, they were so close! I couldn't believe how close we were to these amazing animals. The whales gave us a private show for a few minutes and then moved on.
It is truly moments like this, that make me feel so blessed to live in such a natural and beautiful place. No boats, no tours just friends in nature enjoying time together and experiencing the true beauty of life in the islands.
If you enjoy whale watching January and February are the best times in Maui to see whales. This weekend is whale day on sunday. If you are near Kihei, stop by kalama park and see the parade and free concerts in the park.
For the last couple of weeks I had driven by the skatepark and seen so many kids skating at the Paia Skate Park on Friday nights. So tonight I thought I would stop by and shoot some photos with my new flash set up.
When I got there I was stoked at how good the kids are. Kids weren't that good when I started. I think alot has to do with the ability to skate parks over and over.
I met Charlie who had just gotten back into skating after 25 years. He was cruising the big bowls and he had a son Zane who was 6 and he was ripping. Zane will be stoked later in life that his dad was there at the park skating with him so much. Plus in another year he should be keeping up with the big boys.
Thanks to all the other guys like Lyon, and Lucas for their hard work and multiple go's to get the just the right shot.
I will be back soon to shoot more photos, and might have to dust off the deck and pads and give the bowls another run. It's been about a year since I skated. Never to late to start again!
Here are a few of my favorites of tonight. The mix of lighting was great for the camera, and gave a really cool look to the images.
