Visions of Hawaii

Having a rough day at work? Winter blues got you down? Maybe this will help warm your spirits. Take a break from your routine with this compilation of photos I took during my time back home in Hawaii (specifically on Oahu, where I grew up, and Kauai). Photos were taken with my iPhone, as I left my DSLR in San Francisco, and originally posted online (hey, follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook!).

I’ve also included a compilation of vintage Hawaiian music from YouTube below which you can play to add to the escape. Hover over photos/press and hold on smartphones for info.

Have you been to Hawaii? What was your favorite part of your trip? Let me know in the comments below!
