Today I met an photography hobbyist and her military husband.
My mom and I headed towards Waimanalo Country Farms because she wanted to see the sunflowers. While we were there, she saw a man taking pictures of the restored Volkswagen van sitting in the field. She asked him to take a picture, and then offered to take one of him and his wife.
His wife offered to take pictures for us as well, and really that's where the fun began. She and my mom ended up taking pictures all through the sunflower fields because both of them are "the photographers in the family."
Her husband and I talked about what he does, and he does IT for the military. We talked about how he and his wife do a lot of stuff outdoors, and that's where they spend most of their time together. He even shared that they met in Colorado Springs. We talked about being in Iceland, as he was stationed there for a year. She visited him there before they were married, and took a picture at one of the famous waterfalls on the southern coast.
It's the picture that they have framed together in their living room as one of their first adventures together. I think that's the sweetest thing.
