Bokeh And Kaeo – Portraits

Posted on August 17, 2010

Last week, I had a last-minute cancellation due to a personal emergency, but since I still had the 50mm f1.2 lens rented from Hawaii Photo Rental, I called up my BFF Kaeo (sporting his vintage 8mm camera!) for a spontaneous portrait session in Waikiki. He would cite me for lens flare and bokeh abuse, but with that lens, I just couldn’t help it! Here’s some images from us messing around, enjoy!

Moments after this last photo, the leather strap for his vintage 8mm’s bag broke.  Sigh.

But otherwise, see, it’s good to be friends with me! ;)

Backyard Sessions with Bristol Dunlap

Posted on April 14, 2010

Last summer, I had my old friend Mika Yamaguchi come up to my house for a visit along with Bristol Dunlap, an artist/musician whom I’ve long admired. With Kaeo assisting with the lights, we had an impromptu photoshoot session in my yard while Bristol played for us.
