What do you want me to capture in Kaua’i?

As most of you know, we are heading to Kaua’i for a much needed vacation. This will be the third time I’ll be visiting the island and althought I’ve photographed a lot of the scenic areas, I know there’s much more to see and explore. I’ve been doing some research on places I want to check out, but I need more suggestions – so, let’s play a game!

What do you want me to capture in Hawaii? It could be one of the many incredible beaches, a vista or spot from the numerous delicious hikes this island has to offer, the culture, a scene, tradition or its people. Name it, send it and I’ll try to go out, look for it and capture it. Rules? Yes, there are a couple:

a. It has to be something or someone I haven’t featured here in my blog or in my website. So no Kilauea Lighthouse, no Queen’s Bath, no Kalalau trail, no Hanalei Valley … What’s left? Oh, a TON more! Be sure to check out my website for a gallery of images I was able to photograph in my previous visits.

b. Only one entry per person. Along with your entry, send in your full name and contact info (email address or phone number so I could contact you in case you win!) to: info@portia-soderberg.com

Is there a prize to this game? Of course! How do you win? Here’s how:

I will compile all your suggestions and try (my best) to go out and capture all the people and places you suggested. A week after I come back (trip dates to follow) I will post all the pictures I was able to capture based on your suggestions. A voting period of one week will be opened so people can choose their favorite shot. The person/people who suggested the shot that garnered the highest number of votes win!

So what is the prize? The person/people who suggested the shot will get a 16*20 print of the image. Fun and simple huh?! Deadline for submission is on February 15, so hurry get those entries in! Happy February!!

Travel: Poipu Beach / Kaua’i, HI

We’ve been to Kaua’i twice and I could never get enough of Poipu. The weather, rain or shine, has always been generous to us.

*U N Y I E L D I N G*
Fiery and fierce
Her spirit didn’t flinch
Nor did it tremble
As it stood against a ‘mighty’ giant

Steadfast and strong
is her faith
in her love, in her passion
in herself
