Expressing Mood in Images: Happy (in) Hawaii
While I often find myself capturing dark and dramatic subjects and stories, summer is just around the corner, actually, “officially” here for those in the U.S., since yesterday was Memorial Day. So, why not photograph fun and happy stories for a change?

Images evoking a lighter mood often make us smile or even laugh. They remind us of happier times, if only for a moment.
So, Happy Summer! to you all, and, as always, thanks for stopping by!
