Yes, it snows in Hawaii! But, don’t worry, it only snows on the high mountains of the Big Island, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The rest of Hawaii is snow free! 2015 started off very cold. Well, cold for locals like myself, normal for the rest of the world. […]
There’s no need to echo why this movie has made the news unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past month. Hot off the press, as of today (12/30/2015), the FBI may be considering evidence that those responsible for the Sony Hack may be disgruntled Ex-Sony employees, rather […]
Every year since I’ve been in business I’ve always gotten a boatload of inquiries in the days and weeks following Christmas and New Years. I have no scientific proof of why this rare phenomenon occurs, but I truly believe it has to do something the smell of Christmas trees, baked […]
2015 is right around the corner and I’m changing things slightly to keep up with the times. SWITCHING TO DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY As you may already know, I’ve been an advocate of film photography for decades. I’ve shot many of my weddings on film as I loved the look, the quality, […]
The second most common question I am asked is,”Steve, how long will our photos take to finish?” And my answer usually ranges from: a few hours, a few days, three weeks, twelve weeks, sometimes up to three to four months, it really depends…. Usually, under normal circumstances, meaning photos that […]
Interstellar is a science fiction space movie that stars Matthew Mcconaughey, that guy from the Lincoln car commercials; and Ann Hathaway, that girl who looks rather strange and doesn’t have a car commercial yet. Before Gravity 2….I mean Interstellar, was released this weekend, critics had begun singing praises, some […]
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would be writing a serious article regarding the subject of Ebola: in Hawaii, in my lifetime, and how it could possibly affect your Hawaii wedding plans. Unfortunately, this is not a drill. While the chance of Ebola coming to Hawaii, […]
The Knot ripped me off, and it wasn’t pretty. In December of 2013, I was approached by The Knot via an anonymous phone call to advertise on their website. The Knot offered me an overkill of web advertising opportunities, most of which was quickly read off a script, and most […]
While the death of Robin Williams has left the world in complete shock, and a for awhile, a slightly comatose depression, there is still much to be learned from this tragic event. All clues to the cause of Mr. William’s death, as of now, point to suicide. Suicide by […]
I saw Guardians of the Galaxy twice, and both times, it didn’t disappoint. The second time was much better though, because I ate five hot dogs. The entire movie is all around awesome, balancing perfectly the right amount of comedy, action, light drama, and talking trees. The movie stars Chris Pratt […]
Affordable Hawaii Wedding Packages, great photo and video services, easy and fun planning
The State of Hawaii is a signature away from implementing a Climate Change tax. If passed, the hotel tax will be raised to 11%, and most likely this won't be the end - it never is. To make things worse, you're going to add a 4.75% General Excise tax, which literally taxes tax.
It's bullshit - and to all my future wedding couples, I truly apologize for our government.
The money will go towards curbing climate change, which let's face it, Hawaii is so tiny that no matter what we do - it can't curb climate change. Our active volcano contributes more Co2 than tourism. And they always use these funds in all areas of the budget. Climate Change is just an excuse. Our State already raised the GE Tax to pay for our rail, which isn't done. And they took that money to give themselves raises, and to pay for god knows what. The state also paid itself by raiding our Hurricane Fund. They are so corrupt.
Currently, our Governor is suing gas companies for the Lahaina fires, which is more bullshit. The fires were caused by our local government's decision to not manage dry brush. When you drive down all of our roads, you will notice that the government doesn't landscape - anything. We used to. Now they just let it go and use the surplus money to give themself raises, and to give the homeless money to be homeless.
Hawaii is still a beautiful place to visit.
But it's not the best place to live, and you can blame that on stupid people who are in high positions of power.
This state is screwed !! Josh green is an idiot and they keep miss managing everything !! Fail rail proven useless! Bring in doge!! Climate change lol. In Jakarta alone they burn thousands of pounds of Plastic a day just cooking tofu in one village, meanwhile they take away plastic straws and bags in USA ya that helps with what’s happening elsewhere !
Vote accordingly
So sorry to hear that Steve!!
Don't forget the stupid people who vote for these stupid people!
And to the very right, what looks like a flat rock, is our endangered Hawaiian monk Seal.
That's amazing.
Probably some of the most impressive make-up I’ve seen in the past 20 years I’ve been doing this.
