Temple in the Jungle Highlands

Video – PhotoWalk Fun!

I honestly get a little confused about what videos I have posted here.  I can’t remember!  I’m producing so many videos lately that I lose track.  So, rather than perhaps forgetting entirely, I think I will opt on the side of posting videos twice, especially if they are good.  Also, I know some of you don’t come every day… so this also serves as a nice “repeat” in case you missed it the first time.

We did this hangout the night after the big LA PhotoWalk.  It was a great event, and we share a lot of photos as well…

Daily Photo – Temple in the Jungle Highlands - Byodo-In

I would never have guessed that something as ornate and unique as this would be buried up in the deep jungled highlands of Oahu!

It is a popular destination, and I guess people in Oahu know about it, but I had never heard of such a place.  This is the Byodo-In Temple, and I happened to arrive right when the sun came out.  This is a nice time because the morning fog and storms had left many layers of clouds and mist in the background, which gave everything a very unusual feel…

Chinaman’s Hat

 

Facebook Interest Lists

I decided to do something different when I curated some Interest Lists over at Facebook.  Come see and subscribe!

Keynote at Kent State

Are you in the Ohio area and want to come to a great event?  The admission is free and I’ll be talking a bit about the future of photography, sharing, and the internet.  I think.  Actually, I like to throw in a bunch of wildcards that I’m not even fully aware of until a few hours before the talk.

Daily Photo – Chinaman’s Hat

Also known as Mokolii, this distinctive island seems to stay in your view for a few hours as you go along the coast of Oahu.

EXIF-hunters will notice that I used my D3S to take this photo instead of my D3X.  I had to give that D3X a rest after getting it too wet over the previous four days of rainfall.  In fact, this was the first opening of the skies after an endless torrent of water and storm.  I was so happy to see some dynamic skies and be in the perfect spot when it happened…

Daily Photo – Oahu Vacation

Well, it wasn’t really a vacation.  It was work.  Hard, wet, slogging work.  Don’t let this picture fool you.  Okay, you can let it fool you a little bit…  This is about the only sun I got the whole trip.  90% of it was me being extremely wet and rather physically and emotionally drained. Things were so wet, in fact, that they declared part of Hawaii a disaster area!  I was there for about a week with Tom Anderson, and he was so excited to show me his second home… he had big dreams of fancy-free days, taking photos on sunny beaches… be we had very little of that…  However, I did my best to produce a lot of images while there… here’s the first one I wanted to share with you.
