Under the Alder Tree



“Under the Alder Tree” is a long-term photojournalism project covering homelessness in Livermore, California. I hope through this project, I can help you get a better understanding of this situation, so that we can raise awareness and help our neighbors-in-need get back on their feet. I plan to document people’s stories in words and photos, while treating everyone with dignity and respect.

Please view the introductory post on my “Under the Alder Tree” blog.

Ia 'Oe E Ka La Hula Festival - 2015

Moku'aina Wahine Kahiko Group Performance

The girls of Moku'aina competed at the Ia 'Oe E Ka La Hula Festival at the Alameda County Fairgrounds this past weekend. In addition to the group performances, Kami represented her halau in the Wahine solo competition and did a wonderful job (in my humble, unbiased opinion).

Here are a few pictures from the hula competition.
