My Lifes Journeys https://journals.worldnomads.com/summertm/ Mon, 27 Apr 2026 06:12:35 GMT World Nomads Adventures Born and raised on the big island of Hawaii, I spent most of my childhood going to the beach in Pahoa, where I grew up. Hiking in Volcano national park and watching the birds. Went swimming in Kona beach. I love being outside and I have God and my parents to thank, they are down to earth and taught my brother and I a lot about loving and respecting nature. When I turned 14, I just started experimenting taking pictures with our old camera. First I was taking pictures of my cat, my friends pets, landscapes and people. Then I saw underwater shots, I was excited and wanted to take more and get a waterproof camera. When I turned 15 I got an Olympus waterproof camera and ever since then I have been taking pictures. I've shared my pictures with family and friends by email, facebook, mailing and even instagram and eyeem, so everyone can enjoy seeing them. I have sold a few of my pictures to family and some friends, but my very first picture sold to someone I didn't know featured in the Volcano Art Gallery. It was a awesome feeling because a stranger, someone I never met liked my picture. https://journals.worldnomads.com/summertm/photos/36880/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel USA summertm https://journals.worldnomads.com/summertm/photos/36880/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/summertm/photos/36880/USA/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Thu, 3 Jan 2013 06:38:19 GMT 0
