Ka mea nui o ka hana ʻana me nā Mentors Photography

Pehea wau i loaʻa ai i kaʻu alakaʻi:

Ke ulu nei wau, ʻo wau ke keiki e kaʻi lime ana i kahi kāmela e pili ana i nā hōʻike lio a me nā hanana i kūloko i ke kiʻi ʻana i kaʻu mau hoaaloha a hoʻāʻo i nā ʻenehana hou. Ua holo lio wau i ka hoʻokūkū mai ka makahiki 5 a 17, i ka wā i koi ʻia ai au e hoʻolohi i koʻu hele ʻana ma muli o kahi ʻoki. No ka hoʻopiha ʻana i ka ʻole, ua hoʻomaka wau e hāhai i nā haʻuki ʻē aʻe. Mahalo i kaʻu hana ma ke ʻano he kiaʻi rink ma kahi hau hau kūloko, kahi maikaʻi loa ka hockey e hoʻomaka ai. ʻO ka wikiwiki i mua o ʻelua mau mahina, i kekahi mau lā ma hope o New Year 2012… Ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi kelepona mai kaʻu hui NHL kūloko - ka Nā Mokupuni ʻo NY. Loaʻa iā lākou kahi wahi i loaʻa me kā lākou papahana paʻi kiʻi a makemake lākou e ʻike inā hiki iaʻu ke hele i loko no kahi nīnauele. Ua kalaiwa wau i ka Nassau Coliseum kahi e pāʻani ai ke kime a hui pū me koʻu luna o ka wā e hiki mai ana, ʻo Alexa Conforti. Makemake ʻo ia e ʻike inā hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomaka i ka pāʻani i ka pō aʻe e kūʻē i ka ʻO Detroit Red Wings. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu inā ua ʻike ʻo ia i koʻu wā ʻōpio i ka wā mua, akā ua maopopo iaʻu i ka wā e pīhoihoi ai wau i ka ʻōlelo, “E ALOHA au ... akā pono wau e nānā me koʻu makuakāne ma mua ... he pō kula ia. ”

ʻO ka ʻike Mentor:

Ua hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻia ia, akā i ka pō aʻe e paʻi kiʻi ana wau ma kaʻu pāʻani hockey mua! Ua ukali wau i ka pahu paʻi kiʻi ma kahi lima hou a nānā i nā kū no nā mea pā e kali ana e kiʻi ʻia i kā lākou kiʻi. Ua holo maikaʻi nā pāʻani mua. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka ʻike, loaʻa kahi hana keu hou no ke koleke, a ua hui pū ʻia i kaʻu mau mea punahele loa: ʻo ka hockey a me ke paʻi kiʻi ʻana. Akā naʻe, ua hoʻomaka wau e ʻike i nā mea paʻi kiʻi e noho ana ma ka papa me ka hau. ʻO kā lākou mau aniani kilohi a me nā kukui strob ākea ākea i lilo i mea hoʻonāukiuki loa. Hoʻohui i kekahi mau pule o ka pipili ʻana i koʻu ihu ma kahi nona ʻole ... a me wallah. Ua lawe ʻia wau ma lalo o ka ʻēheu o ko lākou poʻo kiʻi - Mike Stobe. Ua kamaʻilio wau iā ia e pili ana i nā aniani, kāna hana a kōkua pū iā ia ma ke kiʻi paʻi ʻokoʻa no ka makasina haʻuki kūloko. Ua hōʻoia wau i kaʻu hoʻolaʻa.

Ma hope ma ke kau, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Alexa i mea pani noʻu ma ke ʻano he mea paʻi kiʻi. ʻAe kēia iaʻu e aka iā Stobe no kahi pāʻani holoʻokoʻa e hoʻomaka e pau. Ua hoʻomaka wau i kēlā lā ma 3 PM- ʻehā mau hola ma mua o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka puck. Ua hōʻike ʻo ia iaʻu i kāna mau strobes, nā papa inoa o nā noi i loaʻa iā ia, nā kau no nā kāmela kaupaku a ʻoi aku. Ua kī wau ma ka ʻaoʻao iā ia i ke kīʻaha a pono e mālama i kaʻu fangirling o nā mea pāʻani (NY Islanders vs Washington Capitals) ma lalo o ka kaohi. Manaʻo wau he maikaʻi loa e ʻōlelo ua aʻo wau i kēlā pō ma mua o kaʻu i ʻike ai ma ke ʻano he mea paʻi kiʻi i kēia manawa. ʻOiai ʻaʻole paʻakikī e ʻike-ua lou wau.

Me he mea lā he mea kupaianaha loa ka poʻe Mokupuni i kaʻu hoʻomohala ʻana ma ke ʻano he mea paʻi kiʻi, ua ʻae lākou iaʻu e huakaʻi i Bridgeport, CT e paʻi kiʻi i kā lākou hui līkiʻi liʻiliʻi ma kaʻu iho. ʻO kēia mau manawa kūpono wale nō ma ka papa inoa lōʻihi a lākou i hāʻawi mai ai iaʻu. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kekahi mau kumu aʻoaʻo kupaianaha mai nā mea paʻi kiʻi ʻoihana ma ka hui. ʻO koʻu nele i ke aʻo kiʻi paʻi kiʻi pono ʻole ʻia i ka lumi papa (ʻokoʻa nā papa kula kiʻekiʻe loa i hāʻawi ʻia ma kaʻu kula) ʻaʻole ia e keakea hou i koʻu ulu ʻana. Ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi hilinaʻi a me ka makemake e aʻo. Eia hou, no ka loaʻa ʻole o kahi huaʻōlelo ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ua loaʻa iaʻu kaʻu "pocket elf" ponoʻī (Stobe). Ke hele wau i ka pana a huikau e pili ana i nā hoʻonohonoho a pono paha i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, kī wau iā ia i kahi leka wikiwiki a ʻoiai e hoʻomāʻewaʻewa wau i kekahi manawa - loaʻa mau kaʻu pane.

Ma waho aʻe o kēia mau kumu aʻoaʻo kupaianaha, ua loaʻa nā alakaʻi ma nā wahi ʻano ʻē. I kēia manawa o kēia lā, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e ʻike i kekahi mea he alo a he alo e ʻike ai me he mea lā he "hoaaloha" ʻoe me lākou mahalo i ka pūnaewele a me ka pāpaho. ʻO Rachel Tokarski he mea paʻi kiʻi INCREDIBLE mai Pittsburgh, kahi aʻu i pōmaikaʻi ai e hui pū me ke kī ʻana i kahi pāʻani pāʻani ma Hartford, CT i kēia kau i hala. Ma ke koi a Stobe, ua noi au iā Rachel e hoʻohewa i kaʻu hana o kēia manawa a ua ʻoi aku kona makemake. I koʻu pūʻiwa, i kekahi mau pule i hala aku nei ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi leka uila mai kāna nānā ʻana mai iaʻu a me kaʻu kiʻi paʻi kiʻi. ʻO kāna hana i hana i koʻu lā. ʻAʻole ia i kēlā me kēia lā e hele aku kekahi ma ke ʻano kupaianaha e like me kāna e hele aku nei no kahi malihini e hoʻāʻo nei e ʻimi i kona wahi i ka paʻi kiʻi ʻana. ʻAʻole hiki i nā huaʻōlelo ke hōʻike i koʻu mahalo, a me ka hoʻohui-pehea wau e aʻo ai.

No ke aha e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe kahi alakaʻi?

Inā hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo i kekahi mea paʻi kiʻi, ʻōpio a ʻelemakule paha, e ʻike ʻoe iā ʻoe iho he alakaʻi. ʻOiai inā ma laila wale lākou e hoʻohewa ai i kāu hana a hānai iā ʻoe i kekahi ʻano ʻokoʻa, e kōkua lākou i kāu ulu nui ʻana. Ke hana nei paha lākou i kahi mea maʻalahi e like me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "hey-nice shot" akā ʻo kā lākou mau manaʻo ʻokoʻa a me nā maka ʻike e kōkua iā ʻoe e lilo i mea paʻi kiʻi ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. A hiki i kēia lā e leka uila mau wau i kaʻu mau kiʻi ma hope o nā hanana nui iā Stobe a loaʻa i kahi papa inoa lōʻihi e pili ana i nā mea āpau me lākou. ʻOiai ʻaʻole paha wau e hoʻolohe i kēia mau manaʻo, hoʻomanaʻo mau wau iā lākou a hoʻāʻo nui e hoʻoponopono iā lākou i ka manawa aʻe. ʻOiaʻiʻo ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia hoʻokahi mea, kahi papa inoa lōʻihi lōʻihi o nā pilikia e ʻike ʻia. Akā, he mea maoli kēia na nā mea paʻi kiʻi e makemake e ulu. ʻO nā loiloi pau ʻole e kōkua wale nō.
