New Year’s Eve 2017 Fireworks

This year I decided to try my luck getting shots of fireworks up close instead of going to see one of the pro fireworks shows in town. So I walked around Kalihi for most of the night and found a couple of places that were launching aerial fireworks in the street. Overall, I’d say it was a lot more fun than dealing with the crowds in Waikiki or paying to get into one of the big NYE parties.

Haleakala Star Trails

I last visited Haleakala a couple of years ago. This time, like the last time, it was raining on Maui but things cleared up once I got to the top of the mountain.

This was the first time I’ve done a shoot with a belly dancer. Looking forward to more fun shoots like this one in the future.
