1 day late, procrastination is not a good way to start off the year! Lol! Creatively 2022 has been, for the most part, an amazing year for me. I’ve grown as a photographer, especially in my lighting & planning what exactly I want in each frame that I shoot. With that said, I failed more times than I’ve succeeded in creating my vision. As with everything we do, with failure, I feel that has moved me to become an overall better photographer & retoucher…I hope?!? I feel that I created some of my best work in 2022. Without failure, we’ll never get better at what we do!
Sunrise silhouettes
Unfortunately, there was a bit of bad news toward the end of the year, but I truly believe that things happen for a reason & it was time that I move on to start a new journey!
First sunrise family silhouettes of 2023
On December 31st, a couple of my buddies, Brandon, Eric & Darcy, planned on shooting the first sunrise of 2023, so we met up at Sandy’s at 5:30 am to beat the many people that would show up to witness 2023’s first sunrise. We made our way out to the “donut hole.” The skies were filled with dark, ominous clouds, but as sunrise approached at 7:09 am, the lower clouds on the horizon opened up & lit up the sky with a beautiful orange-golden light!!! Turned out to be an awesome first sunrise for 2023! Just about 10 minutes after sunrise those same dark rain clouds moved in & we were blessed with rain. The 4 of us met up after to have a wonderful breakfast to sit down, eat, have more coffee & talk story. What a great way to start off the New Year!!!
Mahalo 2022, Aloha 2023
