Ono ono Umeke
The ponzu barbecue sauce on the meatloaf sandwich at Umeke market is pretty killer. Add the crispy bread and you have the makings of a gastronomically superior afternoon repast…. er, yeah. This image was shot for Umeke’s latest lunchtime promo. I really have a soft spot for food - it goes hand in hand with the soft spot around my midline.

In light of my recent lapse…
So we have been busy. Our little girl, Lucia Belen Solis, was born in September. She was hale, healthy and hollered loudly on exit. Quite exciting. Here are a few pics of her at 3 weeks old.


Night at the Museum
We were contracted to cover Bishop Museum’s Fundraiser where they honored Roy Yamaguchi and David Hulihee. Danny Kaleikini was MC, and the food was provided by all of Oahu’s best restaurants. Here is just a few pics which do not do justice to the huge night that Bishop Museum hosted. If you haven’t already donated this year. Please do so. Every little bit counts…








Sweat Equity
It is always nice when someone gets a shot of you extra hard at work (thanks Boe). Otherwise photographers get the bad rap of being artsy lethargists. This is me and model Christina sweating profusely on the corner of Bethel and Merchant at around 9 p.m. a few nights ago. I will post a gallery of the shoot as soon as I get around to it…yawn!
No Severe Burns
It took way too many tries to get this shot of Justin from Humanhand playing with fire (read: morning glory). The new year was brought in as usual - too much food, a little talk and a little music. Happy New Year to all who were there and all who were not.
