RECENTLY I SUBMITED A SELECTION OF THE BEST IMAGES OF THE LAST SURF SEASSON HERE IN HAWAII TO : www.waves.terra.com.br
IT WAS A EL NINHO YEAR AND THE BIG SURF WAS JUST AMAZING.

A VERY SPECIAL MOMENT

I'VE BEEN SHOOTING WEDDINGS FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT I NEED TO ADMIT THAT THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST TOUCHING WEDDING I EVER SEEN. EVERY THING WAS PERFECT AND VERY WELL ORGANIZED BUT THE TESTIMONY OF THOSE TWO FAMILIES , THE TESTIMONY OF KEVIN AND MISTY MADE THE DIFFERENCE . WE ALL COULD FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLLY SPIRIT ON THAT CHURCH IT WAS ACTUALLY HARD TO CONCENTRATE ON TAKING PICTURES , BUT IN THE END I HAD A LITTLE OVER FIVE THOUSAND PICTURES TAKEN , THE HARD PART WAS SELECTING ONLY FIFTY SHOTS FOR THE SLIDE SHOW THAT ILLUSTRATE THIS POSTING.

TWO IN A ROW

YOU MAY THINK THAT ALL WEDDINGS ARE THE SAME . A MINISTER A COUPLE , THE WEDDING PARTY ...

BUT THIS WEEK I HAD THE CHANCE TO PHOTOGRAPH A VERY UNIQUE WEDDING . THE LOCATION WAS ALI'I BEACH PARK WHERE MR. BURTON HAD A OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS HIS TWO DAUGHTERS GETTING MARRIED AT THE SAME TIME.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY PERFORMED BY PASTOR LUIZ DE OLIVEIRA .

FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

IF THERE IS A SPECIAL EVENT IN HAWAII , IS WHEN WE CELEBRATE A CHILD FIRST BIRTHDAY . IT IS JUST PART OF THE TRADITION AND THIS WEEKEND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PHOTOGRAPH THIS NICE CELEBRATION AT THE HAWAII PRINCE GOLF COURSE THE FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY OF LITHE KAITLYN.

RIEKO TOMINAGA - TEMPEST SURFBOARDS PHOTOSHOOT

IT WAS A GREAT PLEASURE TO MEET RIEKO TOMINAGA FROM JAPAN , SHE WAS THE PERFECT MODEL FOUND BY RICHARD HUNTER FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT . WE CHOSE A COUPLE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS BETWEEN WAIALUA AND HALEIWA . THE IDEA WAS TO GET A GOOD COMPOSITION WITH THE TWO ELEMENTS RIEKO AND THE SURFBOARDS . THE RESULT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING.

THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST YEAR FOR BIG WAVES IN THE PACIFIC AND TO HAVE A COUPLE OF SHOTS BETWEEN THE NOMINEES FOR THE BILLABONG XXL BIG WAVE AWARD OF 2010 WAS DEFINITELY A HONOR.

IT WILL BE A TOUGH DECISION THAT BILL SHARP AND CREW WILL HAVE TO TAKE TO CHOOSE THE WINNERS BUT THEY MADE A VERY GOOD JOB NARROWING IT DOW TO THE FINALIST .
