Maui waui

Posted in Text

on Jun 30, 2007

Back in the world and trying to get my head above water. Hawaii was dope. Spent a couple days on Oahu, a bunch more on Maui.

Took the new Mamiya for a serious spin (see photo above). The rangefinder form factor made it all the more easy for me to pull out and shoot with, often. I’ve got a lot of scanning to do, but so far it seems well worth it.

The crater on Maui is amazing. The waterfalls are fun. The waves were pretty great and the snorkeling is ridiculous. There’s some serious animosity between the native islanders and visitors though, not quite the Elvis-Presley-Don-Ho fantasy island we’re led to believe, unless you stick to the lame ass resort villages.

Oh, and I got engaged, to the best person in the world, just before we left (doing it in Hawaii would’ve been too cliché).
