Waiaha River “Smooth Flowing” Kona Coffee – February 29, 2012



My first entry using only photos taken with iPhone 4s… Chikao Kunitake is a simple man. He does not own a car and does not drive miles to go to work. He does not rely on electricity to watch TV, or power his household appliances. Built by his grandparents, Chikao lives on a small coffee […]
