Kona Photos' photostream
|
I live in Seattle. I am originally from Pennsylvania.
I love to travel. And I am blessed with the ability to do that frequently.
When I was a teenager, I discovered photography. But it is only in the past three years that it has become a passion and a serious hobby.
My favorite place in the world is Japan. But I have a Hawaiian heritage and also like to visit the beautiful islands of Hawaii as often as possible. Both of these locations are favorites of mine to photograph.
I love color... but I also believe that black and white can set a mood.
The majority of my photos are edited in photoshop. I don't "change" anything- but I do emphasize certain colors over another... or play with shadows and highlights. I love the HDR style of photos- but I am lazy to actually produce one. And so I use a photoshop add-on - called Topaz Adjust.
I currently use a 5D Mark II but as you can see, I've used many different cameras throughout the years.
