Im a Picture guy.

So when I read books, look at recipes, or anything of the sort, I need pictures. So I like taking pictures. Lianna and I need your help. Lianna found a great deal on picture frames, and literally bought a million. Ok, well not literally, but still its a lot. So we're gonna be putting them up on our wall... have a photo wall or something. So we wanted pictures we've taken, and we've narrowed it down. Here are some of the choices, lemme know which ones you like/don't like/find offensive/want to hug forever. Thanks!

This is a Maui sunset from our honeymoon trip.

This is a sea turtle, obviously. We took our Japanese exchange student up the North Shore so she and her friends could see the turtles.

Here he is again.

This is when we took a catamaran excursion while on a wee outing to Waikiki with Peter and De Ohler.

Here is a picture of Waikiki taken from Diamond Head while on the same outing mentioned above.

For an enrichment hike, we went up to Laie falls. At the bottom of the trail, a dog started following us. He was a house dog that had just gotten out. It was a good couple mile hike... taking most of the day. Once down, he just went back home like nothing happened.

A picture taken on one of the many Hawaiian hikes.

Muir Woods, CA. We went with Chris, Aaron, Debbie, Lianna and me.

Gray's peak, taken on our hike of the 14er.

Byodo-In temple in Hawaii, which coincidentally doubled as Korea where Sun and Jin got married on Lost, the TV show. We went with our goodest friends, Jimmy and Mikensi.


Same Temple, obviously.

A picture of the north of New Caledonia when Lianna and I went for research. I believe that valley is called the Ouaième .

This is the same trip, on a bridge built by the Americans in WWII. This is the Ponérihouen Bridge.

Footprints... in the sand.

Our feet, in the sand of Maui on our honeymoon.

Forest at Golden Gate State Park, CO.

A flower in the same state park.

Glen, from my mission.

Let me know which ones you like best, specifically of the ones that have doubles (the turtles, the Byodo-In temple, etc.)

First turtle pic, first temple pic, second footprint pic.

But I think you need some more with faces. I'd want to see more with you two in them.

Katie said...

First on both temple and turtle. I agree with Geneva, if you're going to have the last one up you need more faces than just the one. If you're going to have a dog picture, it should be Teo! But they are all really impressive--good job!

Alicia W said...

Sorry, but I like them all. And I'm with Geneva. Get your faces up there!

I loved the sunset!! I vote no on the flowers, I've seen some of your other flower ones I like better. The first temple, definitely, and I don't know which turtle or sand one I like best. You do take cool pictures, for sure!

wow, i love them all. Can i get those in prints. We need more art in our home. :)
I love the first temple picture but for the turtles I'm torn, I like them both.

Here's how I get my pictures so big. If you are not using the latest version of blogger it's time.
Go to your Dashboard. Click on "Settings", next to comments and designs. Scroll down to "Global Settings (Applies to all of your blogs.)" Under the section "Select post editor" click "updated editor".
If you already have the updated blogger Then when you got to make a post. you'll upload your pictures. Once they are uploaded you can click on the picture and a picture toolbar will pop-up and let you make the picture super big. Let me know if you need more help.

And I'm serious about your pictures. They are amazing.

My favorite pictures are: Maui sunset from our honeymoon trip, both turtle pictures :), Muir Woods, CA. forest picture, Ouaième valley picture, the feet in the sand on your honeymoon, and both of the Forest at Golden Gate State Park, CO pictures! All the photos are beautiful and will make your house walls AMAZING! :)
