Kelli with an Eye Photography

DAVE WAKELING brought the English Beat to a small club in Honolulu this past week...it was a hot, sweaty 80s dance fest that brought back memories of pegged pants, big hair and black eyeliner... AND 2 NIGHTS LATER, I MET THEM AT THE MARDI GRAS CARNIVAL ON THE STREETS OF CHINATOWN!!!

Another fantastic assignment with the Honolulu Weekly. Here's the link to the article: http://honoluluweekly.com/cover/2011/03/keeping-the-country-country/ The Matoons, a lovely couple from Punalu'u, helped to start the "keep the country country" campaign on the island of Oahu back in the 70s. They are still going strong as community activists and voices of sustainable and smart growth in the rural regions of Oahu, and I had the privilege of meeting them, talking to them, and snapping some images of them in their garden and "front yard", the Kamehaha Highway Punalu'u Bridge construction project.....

so many things have been happening...birthday celebrations, births, friends visiting, and new legislations! I am busy creating my business and moving it in a new direction; I hope you enjoy the changes, and I look forward to hearing from you! FEBRUARY: I was very excited to get the call from the Honolulu Weekly to photograph a young filmmaker from Hawaii, Ty Sanga. Ty just debuted his short film "Stones" at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah this past January! He is definitely one to watch! here's a link to the online article... http://honoluluweekly.com/cover/2011/02/the-sundance-kid/ and my cover photo!!! Here's a few more shots of Ty from our shoot
