So a pretty cool thing happened this week. In 2005 a group of young boys from Ewa Beach made history by winning the Little League World Series. Naturally, the entire state, including myself, was glued to their televisions as we watched these remarkable kids put Hawaii on the map by defeating Curacao.

Oh hi, Pali lookout
It’s amazing how much you miss when you concentrate solely on the task in front of you. Prime example: Today I got the chance to film a photography tour group as they walked around the Pali lookout learning photography skills. Full disclosure, I hadn’t been to the Pali lookout in quite some time and IContinue reading “Oh hi, Pali lookout”
