People These are links to some of my pages of people I have worked with, shot photos of or that I have done a write up on one of my websites. These are people who I am inspired by, enjoy listening to their music or watching them work! Next to the photo I will explain my connection to these people and list the pages you can find on this website. 

Quote: The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Aloha Joe is all about ALOHA!  AlohaJoe.com is mentioned many times on my website and other sites I help run for a few reasons. Aloha Joe was the first person to publish one of my photos on his online magazine back in June 2000.   Aloha Joe has also been able to use a number of my images on his website and online magazine. I have shot 5 CD covers for Aloha Joe and there are a few more in the works. Thank you Joe for your belief and support!  As long as Hawaii is in my heart, I will be a listener to ALOHAJOE.COM. I hope you will too!

 

Artist Extraordinaire

Wyland (1999) The Artist Wyland is one of my favorite people on this planet!  Wyland has an amazing gift to see and paint LIFE SIZE whales on the sides of buildings and he's GREAT at a long list of other talents he possesses (like photography)  Wyland was one of the first people (friends) who encouraged me to do more with my photography. I am forever thankful that someone, like Wyland, took the time to encourage me to follow my passion.   Wyland is one guy hoping to help save the oceans and the whales one wall at a time. If you are visiting Hawaii, or another area he has his art, take the time and see his art. If you really look at it, you can see how he has captured the animal's soul.

Allison (2003)  An AMAZING 11 year old talent from Hawaii allowed me the honor to produce her first website pages that are hosted on Danny Couch Cheerleaders. Allison & I had met briefly at the 2003 Hoku Awards. I had a nice photo of her with Aloha Joe, but at the end of the evening, my biggest nightmare happened... I lost all of my images captured on digital when my brand new compact flash card FRIED...  the card was so hot it could have left a burn mark.  I did happen to get 2 shots of Allison with my print camera. Also my friend Tim Couch had written 2 songs that Allison recorded. Small world we live in. Allison is a HOKU (star) we should all be watching to shine! 

 

34 Below (ACOUSTIC POP) (2004) I met three of the band members of 34 Below in Myrtle Beach, SC during a Wyland Event. They are from San Diego, CA.  This guys are full of ALOHA and LOVE what they are doing.  I hope to see/hear/shoot these guys again. I look forward to their next CD.

Danny Couch (1999) Danny Couch, the GOLDEN VOICE of HAWAII.  My first (known) published photograph was of Danny Couch holding his Hoku Award for the Single of the Year 2000 for the song THESE ISLANDS. I shot this image the day I bought my first SLR 35mm camera.
