Working on my Photography Skills!

Waaaaaaaay back in High School I took Photography. I loved being in the dark room, playing with my new photos, making some sepia, some black & white, cropping them until they were just right. I remember making a pinhole camera, and taking some awesome "still shots" with it...

Technology has made photography just a tiny bit easier and more accessible to the general public... for people who don't have access to a professional dark room (although I think even the greatest digital enhancement cannot compare to working in a dark room) like me.

So... here are just some of my most recent photos from the past 2 months (or so). I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them!



Gold Dust Day Gecko - Sunning on my cement wall



Koa Wood Grain - Taken before my nieces Baptism at the Kamehameha Schools Chapel



Sunset Beyond the Ko'olau Mountains



Lovely Yellow Rose - This one I took on a recent trip to California



Through the Bloom - This is another photo I took during my nieces baptism. You can see her in the background... I was playing with angles and focus on this one.

Kalani Koa - Somebody to Love

Kalani Koa - Somebody to Love (Music Video)


Aloha Friends! Above is a music video my younger cousin just did for the 2008 Brown Bags to Stardom competition. Hes wearing the red lei in the photo above!

For those who don't know what Brown Bags is... its a local Hawaii music competition for High School students. They have to write the song, play the music and produce the video. The video is then played on OC16 and voting begins!

I am so proud of my cousin for doing this. Last year he won 2nd place male vocalist for his song "My Hawaii"! I was up there skankin as he performed it live... so awesome!

This year, I think his song is even better... and I know he is gonna do really well in this competition and in his musical future!

They do perform for parties... so anybody looking for a new upcoming band to play at your Grad Party, Kalani Koa is the way to go! Not only does he play reggae & island music... he can sing a mean Falsetto!

If voting is open when you check out his video... PLEASE VOTE for Kalani Koa - Somebody to Love!
