Time seems to accelerate with a child… They say “days are long but the years are short”… and it’s pretty much spot on. I haven’t been contributing to my blog as much as I’d like, but I cannot miss the 2018 review post for my personal sanity and as a nice recap of the things…

Night Photography in Hawaii
In Jan, Betty and I went on our babymoon in Hawaii. We love Oahu because of the mix of good food, things to do and relaxation outside of Honolulu. Among other things, I was able to spend a few nights out shooting nigh photos (astro photography). below is the area which I traveled to from…
Color Factory
It’s amazing a business model like this can succeed… Purely made for social media. I’ll keep it short and sweet: Not worth the ticket price About 60 minutes end to end (if you take your time) A few little fun surprises Overall, it’s a cool concept and definitely appeals to those who love social media….
Thank You 2017 (A Photo Post)
Reflecting back on 2017, I had a few thoughts on how to continue to change and grow in 2018. But I’ll be using this post as a photo journey through the last year. I’ve divided it up into different themes – enjoy! Dogs Bleu was our first and is still our pup. This year she’s…
5 Days in London
2 months ago, I spent several days in London for work. I’m super thankful for having the opportunity to visit the London office as well as have a little time here and there to explore parts of central London. The last time I traveled to London was in 2005, right after I graduated from college…
First Backpacking Trip – Young Lakes
Last year, Betty and I decided we wanted to give real backpacking a try. We have a couple of friends who are pretty “hardcore” doing multiple day backpacking trips that cover many miles each day, so we thought it would be a good idea to go with them. First, it was a good idea… but…
Closing out 2016
2016 has been an amazing, yet tough year. We witnessed a crazy election, many changes around the world, many many losses and much more. It’s easy to focus on all of the tough times, but there is still plenty to be grateful for… and with that, here are some highlights from 2016 with just a…
Hawai’i – Hilo, Volcano, and Kona
Last Hawaii vacation, we were lucky enough to be escorted around by my brother in-laws future in-laws. They owned a place in Volcano and showed us parts of Hilo and Kona. We opted for the nature/historic sites as it seems the Big Island has a ton of great outdoors and is home to the largest…
Nara and Kyoto
Ohh the fabled deer park with aggressive, yet friendly deer. It was fun, I must say. Though, I would almost venture to say these deer were too friendly with humans… The bowing was super cute, they wouldn’t bite your hands and overall it was a symbiotic relationship between the deer and the city. The deer…
Osaka, Japan
Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to join a work trip out in Taiwan. Afterwards, Betty and I decided to travel to Japan for our first time! We decided to visit the more “traditional” Japan and went to Oaska, Nara and Kyoto. We landed late at night and went straight to our hotel. The…
Chasing Waterfalls
With El Niño this year, local waterfalls became abundant. Earlier this year, Betty and I decided we wanted to do more hikes, so naturally, we went looking for waterfalls. Personally, I’ve enjoyed waterfalls… especially in years past when Yosemite had all of its different falls flowing. This year, we ventured down to the South Bay…
Palm Springs and Joshua Tree
This post will be mostly photos as Palm Springs and Joshua Tree were visually amazing. Palm Springs was an interesting mix of old and new… and the casinos :P. Joshua Tree was out of this world and definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. It is known as a “climbers paradise”, but also…
