My Place to Slow Down

Place to Slow Down

My place to slow down and relax is anywhere where I can enjoy the beauty and quietness of the outdoors.

A serene coastal scene at sunset, featuring palm trees and reflective ocean water under a colorful sky.

My favorite time of day to be out with my camera is at sunrise. The quietness of morning helps settle my soul. Macro photography forces me to slow down to notice the tiniest of details. Finally, hiking is what started my love of photography by getting me out the door to explore the trails.

Two other Hawaiian landscapes were featured in “Feel the Breeze.”

    Me too. Spending time in nature is my happy place. I’m a big fan of the mornings as well. It feels like the whole world is still asleep. Lovely captures.
