Hawaii 2019 - Milolii and South
December 7th
On this day, my father and I visited my mother Ingrid's memorial, just outside the village of Milolii. The white coral, which my aunt, my father and I placed back in 2008 after we had scattered my mom's ashes in the ocean near there, has turned a dingy shade of gray over the last 10 years. I decided to flip all the coral pieces over to expose their somewhat whiter undersides, which you can see in photo 16 and after. I helped my father up the lava and gave him my camp chair to sit in while I hammered in the stakes that hold up the two solar-powered LED rose bouquets. A kind passerby pulled over and offered to take a few photos (11 & 12) with my camera, of my dad and I together at the memorial. Afterwards, we headed south to the Big Island's South Point (20-28) and the last two shots were after sunset from our lanaii back at our hotel in Kailua-Kona.
These images were shot with a Fujifilm X-H1 and raw files were processed using Capture One Pro. Any shots with a focal length of 9mm were taken with a Laowa Zero-D 9mm f/2.8.
