President Barack Obama leaves Hawaii after his annual winter vacation in the Islands. He returns to our nation's capitol on Tuesday. I was fortunate enough to grab some shots along with some friends and the media as he said goodbye!
(My blog wasn't very presentable at the time of this event so I'm finally posting now. Better late than never, right?)
A number of us were extremely fortunate to be lifted to and tour the USS Ronald Reagan as it was exercising in Hawaiian waters for RIMPAC. We got to experience (up-close and personal) fighter jet take-off and landings on deck, as well and tour the belly and tower of this amazing machine. We also got to experience deceleration from 125 to 0 mph in two seconds and acceleration from 0 to 150 mph in three seconds. Crazy. And it was a blast - quite literally. Thank you, Captain Kenneth Norton, for your hospitality while onboard. I certainly have greater appreciation for our armed forces and your service to this country!
Howdy! My name is Marc Orbito. I'm a general photographer in the state of Hawaii who enjoys photographing people!
I'm also a father, husband, Apple geekboy, writer, Disney junkie, Miami Heat basketball fan and washed-out cinephile.
I invite you to look around. Hopefully you'll like what you see and and maybe even hire me!
