Photos by the Sea... Featured Photographer: Mark Ramelb..

A photographer friend of mine, Mark Ramelb, has been shooting pictures for quite some time.. He's such a loyal friend and photographer that whenever there is an event, Birthday party, get together, you name it, he is right there with his trusty camera(s).. He has gotten some great visual documentation of me and my friends being silly and some that are definitely frame-worthy. You can always count on Marky Mark!!

On one of my last visits to Hawaii we did a quick shoot at Kaka'ako State Beach.. Since it feels like forever since I had been in front of a camera, I was excited to take these pictures and work with Mark officially for the first time professional wise! If you're looking to get some pictures done, call Mark and set up an appointment.. He is super nice and you may even make a friend out of it!

Let me just say that I did need help walking on those rocks with my wedges.. NOT EASY!!

Picture time!!

Life in the view of a Holga...

I love my Holga camera, as you've probably heard me say before.. You just never know what the outcome will be until you lift the flap from the picture holder envelope... I must say this is definitely my favorite roll yet... Shot in Fresno, California over Memorial Day Weekend, there was so much on the drive up I wanted to shoot, but those highways can be so dangerous with everyone going 90 miles per hour... The hills off the 5 North were so beautiful it almost looked like a cartoon.. maybe next time I'll be brave enough to do a quick photo sesh off the side of the road for that deserty gritty look.. Until then, these were the shots I captured.. I saw the Cadillac across the street and was dying to use it for some shots but worried the owner would be upset, turns out the owner was at the same BBQ I was at! BONUS!! I ran and got my camera and starting shooting away!!

I usually keep it as true as possible by shooting with the setting at 12 photos per roll.. I have a flash on my camera and typically use it even when outdoors and the sun is out.. These pictures were just "point and shoot" with no added filters or lenses.. perfectly imperfect shots...


This Cadillac shot is my most prized photo thus far...
