Where is Asian Infatuation?

WHO AM I?

I am a Hawaiian. Actually I am a hapa haole or a person of a mixed background including Native Hawaiian (kanaka maoli) heritage. I live in Hawaii but through my work, I get to travel to many cities across the United States.

My friends say I have “yellow fever.” My friends are primarily Asian. They tell me that “yellow fever” indicates a non-Asian person who is “infatuated” with all things Asian; in other words, a person who acts Asian even though they may not have that heritage.

As you will see by my photos my interest in all things Asian extends to my appreciation of the beauty of Asian women. There is just something at the way Asian ladies present themselves that I find magical!

From time to time, other magical ladies beyond Asians enter my viewfinder and I find it hard not to share their photos with my friends as well.

I am a single male in my late 30’s.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND HERE...

How often do you walk down the street and pass by a beautiful woman? The image may stick in your mind for a moment- but for the most part, it will soon be gone. It is all to fleeting. It is a beautiful moment, but one that passes by all too quickly.

Through my photos, I attempt to capture that moment for all to enjoy. Time may march on, but hopefully my photography will retain the magical beauty of that moment forever.

My photos, therefore, are primarily candid street photos of beautiful Asian women. Because of my easy access to Waikiki, you will also find a number of candid beach photos. (Due to their content, the majority of beach photos will be marked moderate or restricted and most will be for friends only.)

All of the images here are MY OWN images taken with either a Sony T-10, Sony DSC-H7, and my newest “toy” is a Canon 40D SLR.

WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND HERE...

You will not find images stolen from the internet. You will not find images stolen from others. And, you will not find any nudity. I believe that the beauty of a woman does not require her clothes to be removed. In fact, most of my personal favorites are actually my candid portraits.

WHY CANDID?

I believe that women are at their most beautiful when acting naturally, un-posed, and simply enjoying life. My photos attempt to capture that moment without disturbing their natural beauty. I take my photos in public places without feeling the need to “hide.” When I am taking my photos, it is quite obvious that I am taking photos (particularly with my new SLR) and if ever asked by my subject, the photo is deleted and never published. If you are in one of my photos published here and wish to have it removed, please email me and I will honor your request.
