I’d rather be in my garden.

No WE,
No ME
Luvs you Bubs, only way this works is together. XO
Hi Max

PORTRAIT FOR 124 FRIDAYS
I look like I've misplaced the instructions.
Max looks like she wrote them.
Max is 124 Fridays old today.
That is the official measurement.
Not years.
Not milestones.
Fridays.
She points at the camera
as if to say:
You.
Yes, you.
Pay attention.
This father holds her
like a fragile argument.
This mother captures her
Like proof that exhaustion can be holy
without admitting it.
One face is weathered.
One face is weather forming.
124 Fridays.
That’s not age.
That’s a stack of small sunsets
no one could return.
She already knows
something the adult forgot:
Time is not passing.
It’s accumulating.

Photography was born perfect.

One camera; GraflexSuperD
One beach; Ho'okipa, Maui, HI
One lens; Buhl f/2.5
One film; TMAX
Nothing extra to hide behind.
No backup bodies.
No options menu.
Just light moving across skin,
salt in the air,
time doing what it does best—
leaving quietly.
I didn’t try to improve the moment.
I let it happen.
That was the whole point of this tiring holiday. I wouldnt change a thing.
Aloha Kakahiaka 😄
Maui holiday report.
Early mornings,
soft light,
coffee still working.
Conditions:
Sunny with scattered laughs.
Warm water, warm hearts,
zero rush.
Small kine waves,
easy rolls,
plenty float time.
More smiles than wipeouts.
Trade winds gentle,
just enough to remind you
where you are.
Days spent paddling nowhere in particular.
Evenings heavy with sunsets
and tired feet.
Fun factor:
100%.
Stress level:
gone.
No schedule,
no hurry,
just one more swim,
one more look.
Maui doing what Maui does best.
Holding us still
long enough to remember.
E ala e.
Mahalo for the reset 🌺
Aloha Ahuihou 😄

Happiest of holidays everyone. Looking forward to crossing paths with you all in 2026! The Meadows
We wanted to tell you Max
something profound
but the words came out
like loose change in a dryer.
Not poetry.
Just sound trying to be meaning.
We said
the world is broken
and she smiled like she already knew.
We said
the stars don’t care about us
and she shrugged
stars never have.
So we tried again.
No metaphors, no prophetic thunder,
just the small truth:
We love you,
in the way a match loves striking; explosive and bright
gone too quickly.
We love you
because we're here
and you’re here
Let the oceans do what they want.
Let the sun forget us like we forget
birthdays,
names,
stuff and things to do
All we have to give you
is this trembling little prose
patched with breath and bone:
We love you,
for as long
as the music keeps happening
between us......and then after. #happy111fridays #super8mm
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.
