Photoblogging My Honolulu: Fin

Usually when I post a photoblog I like to narrate each image with my words, tell a little story about what the image means, or contains, or conveys. Usually I do this because I am never quite sure that my photographs are powerful enough to stand on their own, that they need my words to prop them up, so that they do not topple over like cardboard walls in a strong wind storm. But it is difficult for me to condense my ten years of experiences in Honolulu, in Hawaii, into short narrations of the images contained in this final island photoblog; there are simply too many memories, too many people, too many emotions, to attach to each capture.

So I shall allow them to speak for themselves. Except I shall borrow a quotation from a previous Island Girl to act as an introduction for this final Hawaii photoblog of the Island Boy.

No one can say you didn’t live Hawaii. You are Hawaii, in a way. You slept pressed against her very flesh. The island and everything you are to one another is forever a part of your two respective soul prints. — AV Flox

I think that sums up my ten years here, and this collection of images, rather succinctly.
