Photos from Hawaii.



Is the LHC too big to fail?The inefficiency of tall people. Posted by james Email post author, 2009-10-22 21:27:10

In an odd effort to delay processing the photos from Croatia, because that would be hard work, I decided to sift through all my photo archives looking for gems I may have missed. It turns out that I still had a bunch of photos from Oahu and Maui that I hadn't processed yet, because that would have been hard work. I'm sure I'm not alone, faithful reader, but I've noticed it's in my character while procrastinating to make more work for myself.

I'd likely be better off not letting my mind wander, but really it's the only way I think of new projects. Instead of linking you to only the Maui work, the link in the picture below leads to the full gamut of my Hawaiian experience, because a lot of hard work went into it.


I've been to Hawaii twice and have had the opportunity to visit three of the islands: Kauai, Oahu, and Maui. One trip was for my honeymoon and the other for a friends wedding, leaving the islands filled with connotations beyond their intrinsic romance. I'm always amazed at how distinct each of the islands, and moreso how varied each of the islands is within itself.

The pictures probably do a better job conveying this. Some might find it interesting that the Kauai gallery was the first set of digital pictures I took and processed. There's quite a difference in style when compared to the other two galleries. I've definitely taken the "my sliders go to eleven" philosophy to heart lately, but I like the results. What do you think, faithful reader?

Great pictures! Usually the slider goes to eleven philosophy turns out looking a little bit unrealistic, but I think Hawaii is the one place where that is how it really looks. Makes me want to go back there soon.

I liked the colours in Wall of Stone. I think I detect a theme here: sea and sky.

Ah, sweet Hawaii. I like the photos of Alyssa "cleaning up" (really it should be titled, "how many of these did Alyssa drink herself?")

I also like tough guy - Bec, pre-baby, flexing.

You are so very talented James, whether it's architectural shots or nature shots or delightful people poses...all so good.
