Clockwise from bottom left: Arrival in HNL, a rainbow on Kauai, Luke discovers something, a waterfall.

The before and after of doing outdoor activities on Kauai. On the left, some sights encountered, on the right, dirty shoes, empty beer bottles, and the hunt for good shave ice.

Clockwise from bottom left: Dinner with Corinne, food at Ono's, signage at Leonard's Bakery, sunrise at Waikiki, wedding reception with Betsy, domiciles on the north shore.

More shots of Kauai. Clockwise from bottom left: Hamura's, a reknown (though not the best) place for saimin, kayaking down the Wailua river, ahi poke and Primo beer, view from the Kalalau trail, a sign at the farmer's market, and a waterfall taken from a hiking trail.

Some brilliant shots of Kauai taken by Betsy in March 2009. Clockwise from bottom left: sunrise in Kapa'a, lush fields in the countryside, and sunset in Hanalei.

Taken during winter in Evanston, just near Kafein, a café we frequented for late afternoon macchiatos and Ms. Pac Man.

Another shot of Lake Shore Drive, this time experimenting with movement and a longer shutter time.

Strolling through Tracy's neighborhood just off Belmont, one encounters things like this. Any guesses?

Two contrasting snapshots of Chicago.

I'm continually fascinated by street art, and often will gravitate towards it as much as "normal" city sights. Here, a corrugated metal wall in Wicker Park.

Early summer 2009 in Chicago, a good place and time to reflect.

Poised above Lake Shore Drive, watching the cars go by.

Snapshots taken from working in Chicago the winter of 2008/2009.

Twilight at Lake Michigan, near Lincoln Park.

Hanging out at the Boring Store and beyond with Tracy and Tammy.

More excerpts from Chicago. Here, some snapshots of the El: the schedule, Washington Street platform, and train interior.

Relaxing in Hayward with a good glass of red.

Nothing says Sunday in the US like a good plate of breakfast. Here, Jing and I enjoy the fare provided by Rick and Ann's on Domingo Avenue in Berkeley.

Sunset comes upon Bear Gulch Road.

How could this series be complete without an overhead shot of the party, and a closeup of the cake?
