So much to announce as we look to a new year and new destinations. 2010 was quite a year with places visited near and far from Peru, Seattle, Kauai, Seattle again, and now… we look to end and start the year at the birthplace and home of Americas one true original musical art form that is Jazz music – The Big Easy aka – New Orleans!

A sincere thank you all that have supported DLRfoto in the past year. Your words of encouragement along with the booking of sessions and purchases of my book ‘Hijo de las Piedras’ have been more than motivation and inspiration.

Below are some images from the first moments on the island in Princeville. We wasted no time and embarked on a mini-tour by land in Kapaa, and one by air as we climbed aboard a tour plane for a 1 hour excursion around the island.

Special thanks to Jim Degnan for sharing with me and 6 others aboard the craft on his birthday. It was a pleasure to not only see him enjoy doing what he loves most, but was by far a privilege to partake on a venture as magnificent as this.

And uhh… the view wasn’t too bad either.

On our next explorations, we packed up the ride and headed west on Hwy 550 up through the various stopping points on Kokee Rd, through the Waimea Canyon and beyond. We picked up some local dried fruit snacks from local vendors before heading off to the trail head leading to a spectacular view of the Na Pali Coast. A nice dinner and cocktails (mainly Mai Tai’s) were enjoyed at the end of the day with good company.

{fast forward a few days… island time}

July 4th was one of reflection as our trip came to a close and as daylight gave way to night, we gathered our friends lovingly and proceeded to…

blow stuff up!!!

As time came closer and closer to our departing flight from the island, we managed to squeak out one more trip to a nearby beach. This time we chose Hanalei, which apparently is the home of Puff the Magic Dragon. True story, I can’t make this stuff up!

Check back within the next week to view an added page to the blog for purchasing prints as demanded by you, the people!

Again, a big congratulations to Aimee and Brad Degnan who are to be wed this Wednesday in lush Kauai, Hawaii. Last week we spent a relaxed day in San Francisco and hung out at a few places, and took a few shots along the way.

We are now in our destination spot and have already been on a couple photo ventures. One by land and one by air! More to come soon!
