The Winter of 95/96 began on a sad note, after just 5 days on Oahu, a stone was smashed through my car's window and almost all my camera equipment was stolen. Hence only a few surfing pictures and I concentrated on beach and street photography instead.

Instead of visiting another neighbor island I bought a new camera this year, with the promise to do better next time.

Without the mission to capture surfing's golden moments in the waves, I looked more closer around me and found a wealth of interesting sights and views on the beaches and in the streets of Waikiki and Honolulu.

The Honolulu Marathon was great, after my participation in 1993 now I made some 20 kilometers on feet this time, good fun walking with the 25000 participants.
