My Ho`onani Hawai'i (My beautiful Hawai`i)

This beautiful stop motion video was created by an aspiring Asian American Photographer, Kenji Croman.  With over 10,000 single photo shots, this 3 minute film took nearly 7 weeks to shoot.  My brother, Kenji Croman was invited to share his unique style of photography with the TEDx City Project held at the Aulani Resort on Oahu, October 20, 2012.  The video was filmed in my home town, Honolulu, HI.  From the moment the film begins until the end, you will be intrigued with the talent that this young man has.  Kenji, shows the extraordinary beauty of this island through his lens, the place I call home.  My ho'onani Hawai'i.

What makes a person successful?  Most would agree that it takes hard work, passion, support from friends and family and most important loving what you do.  I have only met a few who are truly successful.  One particular Asian American is becoming a superstar wave photographer in Hawaii, known for his breath taking photographs of unique wave barrels.  Kenji Croman is truly a success.  Chasing waves and his dreams, Kenji truly captures his love and passion with every wave snapshot.  Recently, he has started a kickstarter program called "Chasing Waves" to raise enough funds to travel to South America, enabling him to capture rare shots of unique waves.  He is not asking for charity, all monies raised will be going back into his work.  With as little as a $25 minimum pledge, you will receive a signed photo of your choice, 1 out 5 of his most popular and breath taking images on a quality 5x7 photo paper.  Recently, his beautiful wife wrote an amazing article on her blog "Island Fever Sisters" on the dangers her husband faces while chasing his dream.  All of his hard work has not gone unnoticed, Kenji recently was promoted on Ashton Kutcher's Facebook and Twitter.  With all the support of his friends and family, no wonder Kenji Croman is so successful. Kenji Croman, an upcoming Asian American photographer.  He is "Asia Trend"!  He also is my brother.......I'm very proud of him.
