Hola Everyone!
The Marco Photography Field trip is a "GO!" for this coming weekend:
When: Saturday, April 19th. @ 1 PM
Where: For a Walkabout in Chinatown area and beyond, meet in front of Little Village Noodle House on Smith St.
What to Bring: Camera, Macro lens if you have one, another fav lens (for other interesting shots you may want to capture), and lots of film/memory cards. Feel free to bring your tripod also if you plan on shooting wide open apertures (narrow DoF) and don't have a steady hand.
Parking: There is a municipal lot off Beretania (near the Honolulu Park Place condo) and another one on Smith St (near Nimitz) that are fairly inexpensive.
There are lots of interesting items to photograph close up - trinkets in stores, flowers in lei shops, ornaments on doors and walls, etc. If some folks are interested in meeting a little earlier for lunch (@ noon), let me know and we can grab a bite to eat at the Maunakea Market Place or at Little Village.
See you then!

Thanks!

Well gang, our next Pauahi Tower exhibit will need us to fill the display cases.
One possibility is to fill them with photographs of a general theme. This could show how we as a group shoot a similar subject in different ways. We could decend on a specific location or subject and show the different results or pull from our own files.
If any of you have other ideas that would fill the cases, feel free to chime in.
Think about it,
Nick
Hola everyone!
First, there is another Pacific New Media photography class starting soon (Tues, March 11) - "On Assignment: A Contemporary Approach to Documentary Photography" with Sergio Goes. I'm enrolled and hope to see other HPS members there also!
Second, I was wondering if anyone was interested in going on a macro photography themed field trip? Maybe sometime in April? We could shoot the usual flowers and such, and them maybe some more abstract things around Chinatown. Give me a shout w/ your contact info if you are interested...
Cheers!

It's that time again, the Albtross are nesting, the seals are basking, and when we are lucky, big waves are crashing. On a good day we get it all at the same time and the only way to know for sure is to go there. It is a bit of a trek, so heading out early is a plus. The return always seems longer, so packing some extra water in place of that super long lens is a good choice for me.
If you think you might like to make a group of it, let me know. I am thinking of the second Sunday in March for now. If any of us are interested in using a mountain bike to shorten the travel time, I'm up for that too.

The Contemporary Museum has a photo exhibit running through March 9th. Richard Misrach took his 8 x 10 view camera to a room above Sans Souci beach and, over time, came away with a fantastic collection of images. I consider this a must see for anyone who takes photography the least bit seriously. Techincally these are quite a feat, just to capture the decisive moment with such a instrument is difficult enough. He not only gets it, he delivers it in huge proportions and stunning detail with a message that can change the way you look at a beach forever. This is even more amazing, considering that Richard is not formally trained in photography.
Go and enjoy, Nick
