February 2, 2010 Hawaii
For Christmas, our bosses (it’s a husband and wife team) bought us tickets to Kauai. Mark (owner, boss, photographer) photographs rental homes in Kauai and Mexico for a profit. Mark went to Kauai last September to work and was asked to work again in January so -Voila! – studio Christmas bonuses!
We just returned a couple of days ago and while I would like to write about everything I did while I was there, I just don’t think any of you would really care all that much. I do however wish to share with you that I either had severe case of jet lag or I was uber-depressed that I had to come back to cold, cloudy Indiana. I think it was a combination of both, really. In any case, it got me thinking about my life and how people end up living where they are. What if I packed up my bags and moved to Kauai where everyone seems so laid back and carefree? Where I could spend my days working (somewhere) and then lazing on a beach, hiking the mountains, going to fresh farmer’s markets, snorkeling, writing, taking pictures, etc. Sounds nice now, eh? It makes me wonder why I spend my days the way I do here in the Midwest. I feel so down and out here. In Kauai I felt alive.
I will share one picture from Kauai that I have photomerged into a panorama. It still needs work but I wanted to share it with you.
Mahalo!
Hanalei Bay at Sunset, January 25, 2010:
An added note: I have spent way too long trying to post the image above. For some reason, the picture you see is not the one that I posted. The one I posted has better colors and more of a “pop” to it but I am getting way too frustrated to figure out why and thus leave you with this (very) unsaturated version of the original. Just click on the picture to see the better version! Sorry!
