With my hobby for editing videos and my passion for photography, I’ve decided to combine both and create a short, time-lapse video of the beautiful, island of Maui.

An online photographer friend of ours, Ben Canales, did this time lapse project of Portland, Oregon (which took 2 months to film), and it’s definitely worth the watch. Check it out!
