portraits with a purpose

honolulu photojournalist david murphey, who splits his days between assignments for modern luxury hawaii and capturing island weddings, is donating his time and talent for the first ever portraits with a purpose, a photography project to benefit the hawaii chidren's cancer foundation.

in exchange for a tax-deductible $30 donation (which, fyi, is significantly reduced from david's standard sitting fee), you can book an hour-long session with the freelance lensman to snap a senior portrait, family photo, or professional head shot. you will also receive a 5x7 print for your kokua, however take note that additional prints will cost extra.

spots are limited so hele over to the reservation page for more details.

new peeks: shivhon rugs

kohola + coral

since we continue to rent our digs (i heart the ny times' rent vs. buy calculator), i am a big believer in rolling out a pretty rug to add a bit of personality to bland apartment-issue spaces. from seagrass to angela adams and our all white kitchen's kitted out flor, a rug is a simple way to transform a room without putting your security deposit at risk.

so enjoy a little decorating eye candy courtesy of the north shore's shivhon who has released a new round of looks for your floor. the locally designed line continues to give traditional island style a modern translation from intricate tribal drawings to introducing artistic abstracts like the lovely big splash of blue featured on the kohola design.

siapo + kuiki

all rugs are made to order in tibet so click rewind for more details.
