Just browsing the usual friends sites and came across this on HONOZOOLOO. Individual write ups and extra photos from his shoots for the latest CONTRAST MAGAZINE. Check em out, they’re all pretty fresh. Thanks braddah Aaron! Next time can you use a start filter and put your camera on the setting that makes me look buff and less angry! haha. ps stop busting my balls about being grouchy people, thats just the way I look.
Thanks to “Manifest Brandon” & the NMG for letting us use their office space to shoot for a upcoming MORALS FIBER ad. A word of advice don’t have your friends in the same room as you while your trying to take serious photos. They just end up teasing you the whole time. (also thanks to D Brown & Lyan Rau)
ps these are not the shots for the ad- aloha
This thing was amazing AND he drove it there. 60’s corvette. I don’t even want to know how much this thing is worth. (sorry bad pic) So i guess every 3 months they have this huge car gathering @ hawaii kai costco. Open to all and free. Just pull up and check it out. I rolled up with orly in the Galaxie and caught some dirty looks, you know car guys ego shit. But other than that its was pretty cool, real chill, cool cars and lost of oldies music. Everyone was feeling the busses. I think Orly an Bong had a twinkie van boner for like a hour
The highlight of the show! Yogurt land. Check out the kid to the left of Orly with the sweet mullet. Hawaii Rules
Definitely more my speed. Im pretty sure its for sale too… I think Bong said he was gonna buy it for me. I could have been mistaken but i thought i heard that come out of his mouth
This past week i had the opportunity to help out a close friend of mine by letting him borrow some of my really good looks for FLYING COFFIN’s summer look book. We all headed out to the beautiful North Shore of Hawaii, for some good times. Its hard work being so Zoolanderish but, you know… i make i work. As you can see from the pics my face was so amazingly handsome that they couldn’t use it for the shoot for fear of starting a world wide epidemic of over sexually charged young women that would far surpass the fans of Twilight even. hahah Some sweet out door shots of everyone getting nasty with the shave ice and even some really fun under water stuff. I wish more of these days happened. Photography by the ultra cool and amazingly sexy boy status of “JOHN A HOOK” check out his awesome blog!
I haven’t been really been on here or at the shop doing tattoos for that mater but lots of shits been going on. So to make up for it here are a bunch of pictures to pacify your undying urge to know whats going with me and my ultra cool extravagant life….. yaaah right.
you have no idea how much i hate getting tattooed.

Photo by Mar Kushimi, super sick photographer and very nice guy. I’m really happy with the way this came out. I don’t have to many good pics of the both of us together. Its usually me holding the camera in front of our faces and resulting in someone being blurry. For more info about him or his photos/art design check him and the rest of the crew out at CONTRAST magazine.
Recently i had the opportunity to shoot some photos for a SAAJ LANE (hand crafted clothing & accesories)along side with IMAGINATIONS car club, Waipahu Hawaii. Not to mention i met the must incredible dog ever named Diesel, thanks to Cici & Claire and Imaginations and Tattoo Krew. Check her site for more info and photos of the shoot and creations. check it out or else!!!!

SERIOUSLY! somebody call Nat Geo and get Aaron Yoshino an award, NOW. Not only is he a great guy and photographer. He is also the only human being alive to witness and actually capture a photo of a real dragon, live and in its natural form. And not to mention a handsome one at that. They do exist I’m telling you this guy is off the hook. HONOZOOLOO SON!!!
