Ala Moana Spring Runway Fashion Show


Models strutted their stuff with a preview of spring styles and trends. It was a challenge for me shooting with the variable lighting and my shorter lens, despite my front row seat.





Valerie Joseph-It Girl Event


Valerie Joseph boutique store had 10 finalists vying for the title of "It Girl". Autumn Matsuwaki (in red) was a crowd favorite. She was featured in Thursday's Star Advertiser. But she was edged out by the youngest contestant (last pic). The photogenic Autumn made it a joy to shoot the event.

Fashion Show-AM


Mid afternoon fashion show at center stage. Just an hour or so after the yoga demo and the overhead sun made it extremely challenging to shoot






Yoga-Ala Moana Centerstage


The Lululemon store did a demo of various yoga poses. Loved the intense expression on this girl. They had potted flowers all around the stage except for the runway ramp area, which made it a bit difficult to shoot.

Super Moon

The moon was at its closest to the earth in 18 years on Saturday but I got rained out at Kakaako Park but managed to take a pic of the sunset. Went back on Sunday and it was dark, no one was around except a few werewolves in the bushes. Decide to head on over to Magic Island. Got a few shots there but I think Kakaako Park might have had a better view.
