THE LAHAINA WILDFIRE'S DISASTER CHANGED EVERYTHING

 

I have been a Maui resident since 1994 & became a Pro Photographer in 1999. Primarily I do Luxury weddings, Beach Weddings, Elopements, Engagements & Family Portraits to earn a living. For fun I chase all the Stunning Maui Scenery I can find and Maui Adventure Sports

I live on Maui's North Shore with my wife whom I married in 2019. When I married Cory, I became a step-father & a grandfather. Becoming a grandfather to Olivia is one of the greatest gifts I have ever received! Just after I married the love of my life, the pandemic hit Maui really hard & all of the Hawaiian Islands completely shut down. Life here in Maui became very difficult, but somehow we survived! Since the pandemic, the economy and tourism slowly came back & Maui saw some light & prosperity! Thank goodness!

GET A HANDLE ON YOUR CAMERA was created because of Maui Wildfire's Disaster in Lahaina. Immediately 12 clients canceled which was most of my fall 2023 bookings & a few large luxury weddings in the early spring of 2024. This second major impact on my finances coerced me into bringing my camera handles to all my fellow pro photographers everywhere!
Maui's Hopes & Dreams quickly changed on the afternoon of August 8th, 2023 when hurricane fueled winds ravaged 50-70MPH across super arid grasses with our beloved Lahaina Town in the cross hairs.

I was there that night when the disaster struck and witnessed it first hand from about a mile north of town. It was worse than anything I have ever experienced in my entire life & still think about it.

Look closely at the above image & you see the ferocity of the wind and fire that was like a blow torch, towering hundreds of feet into the air. The wind shook all the palm trees near me & sounded like a charging locomotive. In the distance every few minutes, you could hear huge booms that were gas tanks exploding, and the constant whine of fire engines racing in vain trying to deal with the runaway inferno.

I had very little communication with my wife that entire night, but she did know I was safe. In the morning the police lifted the roadblock on the north side & I was able to drive home into the arms of my worried wife!

This is an absolute nightmare for the residents of Lahaina, as our beloved Lahaina is completely charred to the ground! I feel so incredibly bad for the people that lost their lives, their livelihoods & their homes!

With that being said I encourage you to continue to help support Maui & its residents by donating to The Maui Strong Fund.

Get A Handle On Your Camera

Changes how you work with your camera making it much easier to manage & control. I find myself even holding the handle with just a couple of fingers as I do lens changes or working with my lighting.

Ease of Use

This image was shot on a tripod high on a rock wall. I used Get a Handle On My Camera as I scaled the wall, then I was able to maneuver the camera into position & connect it to the tripod, all the while securely holding my camera.
