Tuesday with Gene Higa

It was about a year and a half ago that I met my buddy Gene Higa at my friends Jenn and Erik's wedding. Gene was their official wedding photographer of the day. Gene and I have been friends ever since. It is a blessing for me to have met him. He is not only an inspiration to me, but also a great friend. It is hard to meet REAL people these days. Gene is as REAL as one can get. Gene is a generous and also a kind person. Oh and don't forget, he is also a great photographer too! :)

Gene is a popular destination wedding photographer in the bay area. He does weddings at Philippines, Italy, Peru, Carribean to name a few.

One of the benefits of being a photographer is that we have down time once in a while. Yesterday was one of those days. We spent a day up at Tahoe together. I was surprised to find that he is a great snowboarder! Here are a few pictures that we took up at the snow. How can two photographers hang out and NOT have any pictures right???







Here is a video of Gene trying to film me while I shredded down the mountain



Sorry Gene, I had to do this... this is when Gene TRIED to snowboard :)
