Happy Rojo Day!!!
Today we celebrate the life of my brother Ro, a true gift to his family and everyone who knew him. If you didn't know him you may have heard of him. He was an F-15 pilot with the Hawaii Air National Guard and a Captain for Hawaiian Airlines. It was this day three years ago that he moved on to serve a greater purpose. It was his heartwarming smile, his sincere kindness, and his sheer love and zest for life that is most mentioned about him.
He was my first best friend!!
As a young boy and into adulthood he emulated dad in so many ways.
His wife Laura, Laura's mom Karen, their daughter Alena, and son Parker.
Me and my two handsome brothers.
Thank you Ro, for gifting us with your spirit!

After the rain
It was so beautiful today in Kane'ohe. I noticed it was raining up mauka (toward the mountains) today and for the most part you couldn't see the mountains. Well, this afternoon as I was cleaning out the garage I just happened to look up and saw several waterfalls. It was such a beautiful sight to behold. Simply Miraculous! This doesn't happen every day, in fact I can't remember ever having seen waterfalls from my driveway before. Truly a moment with God! So humbling!

The Kahala Hotel & Resort Bridal Showcase
I just want to say that I had a great time tonight at The Kahala meeting new people and seeing some familiar faces I have not seen in a long while. It is so nice to be included in a very special group of wedding industry professionals. I am so very grateful to The Kahala for putting this event together.
Here I am with my second shooter Carrie Hoehnen
She's an awesome photographer too!
Here I am with Chris Cain, one of the coolest individuals I get to work with. He is a wonderful
person as well as an awesome minister.
Carlo was passing around some incredible pupus tonight.
Here's the clear cocktail tent at the Kahala O Ke Kai.
Here's a reception tent outside of the Kahala O Ke Kai. Simply Elegant!
This is the Waialae Ballroom turned into a Moroccan Themed party complete with belly dancer.
There was also a sparkling wine tasting bar. SO COOL!!!
I met a very sweet couple who will be getting married in May '10. I believe we definitely resonated with one another.
Thank you Stuart, Grace, Jamie, Charles, Yoko, Jenny, and everyone else at The Kahala
for a very successful evening. I'm already looking forward to next year's event!
Mahalo,
Arna

My First Bus Wrap!
Okay, so I've been trying to track this bus down to get a decent photo of it with my pro camera and just as I was making a delivery to my clients who were staying in Waikiki - voila! There it was right in front of me!
I shot this image of the Polynesian couple back in '04/'05 for the O'ahu Visitors Bureau.
Little did I know at the time that any of the OVB/HVCB members could utilize any images taken for OVB for promotional, advertising, and marketing purposes.
Hence, my first bus wrap!!
