Lights at Night

Like many creatives, sometimes I get burnt out on photographing the same thing. It’s good to just play and recharge. The following is just that. Playing. This is a continuing series that started one night on the island of Oahu in 2008. The images watermarked with “Holland” were taken by either me or Jon. Can’t remember. The ones marked “Melinda Holland” are definitely mine.

I really like the following shot. Wish I could definitely take credit for it. But for some reason, I really think this one is Jon’s. Beautiful. Looks like an abstract landscape painting.

July 4th Weekend

Fireworks on Oahu

Fireworks on Oahu

Hope your 4th was relaxing and awe-inspiring. Since I didn’t photograph fireworks this year, I grabbed one of my favorite firework photos from my archive and that’s the photo you see above. This photo also made it into Hawaii Magazine. See the blog posting here.

This Fouth of July, we were out on the Oregon coast camping with our friends Heidi & Jason.  And what a great camp spot we snagged just a couple days before the busy July 4th weekend!  What a blessing to grab the last open spot–it was a NICE spot, too.  Somebody must’ve canceled.  We built a fire on the beach two nights in a row and let me just say that it was AWESOME.

Here’s a pic of Heidi & Jason in a sizzlin’, steamin’, “you’re-almost-barbeque” lip-lock next to the second beach fire we made.

I took this with their pocket camera and I must say I’m impressed with the quality of that little thing. Pretty good. I’ll have to get me one of those.

New Head for Armani Mannequin

I model Armani.

What good is life if you can’t have a little fun? This photo CRACKS. ME. UP.  Props to my friend, Jayme, for taking this stellar photo of my short modeling career at the Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii last week. The look on my face could’ve been better but I was about to bust out laughing. You should’ve seen the shoppers cracking up as they walked past the window. Ah… So great.
