Mokoli`i, May 1999

I started my blog in 2004, so there are a bunch of film-based pictures I've never posted before. Here are Hunter, Kelly, and me on the circle-island drive we did in May 1999. The picture is from the beach near Mokoli`i.

Hunter had grown between my visit home in 1996 and his visit for my graduation. When I picture him in my mind, I don't think of the bald guy with the beard -- I think of this teenager.

I suppose it's not fair to remember him as a child, before he grew into the man he'd become, but that's exactly my greatest regret with him -- that I'd not been around to enjoy his company.

Not me as an adult and him as a 14 year-old, but as equals, as a brother, and as a fellow man.
