PIPE DREAMS SMOKESHOP - 1st Place in Film Category
An impromptu performance during a First Friday in Chinatown, Honolulu.
NIGHTLIFE IN HONOLULU - 2nd Honorable Mention in Film Category
Taking panoramic photographs while walking the crowded streets reminds me of stills from a CinemaScope picture. Shooting at night without a flash allows me to get close to the “actors” at the “movie set.”

EMILY - 1st Place in Portrait Category
Taken at an IONA Contemporary Dance Theatre photo shoot, Emily, in her role as Strength is posing among her fellow dancers and friends. She is at the center of the energy radiating from everyone surrounding her.
LIZ - 3rd Place in Portrait Category
Liz (Elizabeth Grote) was performing at thirtyninehotel as a promotion for the IONA Contemporary Dance Theatre show, Paint by Number. Her solo interpretation and the emptiness of the space is the essence of this picture.
