“It’s just a little Salem magic before the big reveal.” 🧙♀️ The Chaos Coven Chronicles The plot makes no sense, and that’s exactly why I love it. Hocus Pocus is chaos bottled and blessed by accident—a spell miscast that somehow stood the test of thirty Halloweens. It’s part slapstick comedy, part feminist allegory, and part…

One of the many breathtaking moments I captured on my honeymoon to Oʻahu in October 2016, later used for all the promo for my last photo business, Aloha Media…
