Michael Shapiro
Writer, “Poke Is Here” (p. 86)
As a longtime Hawaii resident and editor
for Hana Hou!, the magazine of Hawaiian
Airlines, Michael Shapiro has had more than
his fair share of poke, the island delicacy
composed primarily of raw fish. Lucky for the
writer, his office is located directly across the
street from establishments that offer some of
the best poke on Oahu. More fish than man,
Shapiro has won numerous awards for his
writing, including the Hawaii Ecotourism
Association’s Travel Writer of the Year.
Milan and Shannon Rosan
Photographers, “Go West” (p. 58)
The Rosans are a husband-and-wife photography and video team based in Northern
California. Focusing primarily on lifestyle
and fashion, their keen eyes craft images that
are compelling and natural and give a sense of
place. When not shooting, the two like to play
with their rambunctious teddy bear/clown
dogs Sammie and Olive, search for the best
slice of pizza and plan their next big adventure. See more at milanplusshannon.com.
