I thought I would post the fun stuff I saw in Hawaii first.  I had such a great time, it was so amazing to meet Malia and Robert and their family.  When I wasn't shooting, charging equipment, or downloading images.  I was out finding anything to tell the story were Malia and Robert live.  I found some really neat things. 

I arrived in Hawaii Thur night Malia's mother Mama Jana picked me up from the airport really late.  and was so kind to give me a grand tour of Waikiki.  SO thank you soooo much Mama Jana =)

When I woke up I opened the blinds and this is what I saw





So amazing!!!!!!!

I had the day free so went sight seeing.

I knew the world famous Maui Divers was in town so I had to see them.  You have seen Maui divers jewelry if you own a tv.  They make some of the world most amazing jewel.  What I didn't know is that they actually harvest the coral in a sub.  Not subway and actual submarine. 

American Deepwater Engineering operates state-of-the-art submersibles, called “Deepworker 2000”, which is a one-man piloted vessel that can reach ocean depths of 2,000 feet. 8.25 feet in length and 4.5 feet high the submersible is equipped with mechanical arms, which have proven to be a precise and careful method of harvesting the most valuable pink, red, and gold. 

I arrived and they were just bringing in a new load of coral

a haul worth over 100,000 dollars!



LOL this is for my friend Shannon, as soon as she found out I was going to Hawaii,  she wanted me to get a photo of dog the bounty hunter. LOL  Shan Dog wasn't in but I got you a photo of his office. 




Here is some other random things I saw







I love this shot It just feels SO free! 




If you go to Hawaii with out seeing Hula dancers you should be fined.  I was lucky to get press access to this Show they do in Waikiki every Friday night.




So  Friday after the hula show, I was walking down the main strip and I got flyer after flyer for the gun range, I thought it was an odd thing to get.  I came to find out that in most Asian countries guns are banned.  SO I told him if I go up  want my own personal paparazzi,  so the gun instructor agreed and check it out!  Both he and I are great shots =)

NO PHOTOSHOP!!!!!!  He really caught this,  WOW GREAT JOB MICHAEL!!!!



The day I was leaving for the airport I WAS SOOOOOOO LUCKY Robert and Malia treated me to a tour of the island.  We went to sand beach.  OMG the water is so clear!
