Been fooling around with this iPhone app: instagram. Nifty little app that allows me to "add effects" to images I've taken, then post it to a feed that's shared with my friends who follow me.

Went for a stroll at Ala Moana Beach Park the other week.  There were brief moments of beautiful light.  It was sporadic...much to my dismay.  Bumped into colleague and friend Marco Garcia.  Nice times chatting about life, work, and just stuff in general.

I spent the night at the lab printing everything.  I then spent the next day sleeping through critiques.  Well worth the final effort i crammed into it.  I was very proud of the work i put out.

Chase and Austin are two of the coolest cats i know.  This past semester Chase Olivieri came down to Hawaii for school.  Just so you know, He's on heckuva photog, and one heckuva paddle boarder.  The last image was taken by Austin.

I spent much of my days this past Spring Semester at the PhotoLab.  Processing, Printing, Scanning.  Film Rocks.  Thanks to Austin, Chris, Amy, Robyn and everyone else for making it fun.  Film forever!

Spent some time under the wing of AF1 last year.  Spent god knows how many hours on a short bus with 10+ other people.  Oh yeah. Met the President too.  Mahalo to Larry Downing, Jewel Samad, Alex Brandon, Ben Finkenbinder for making it a fun time.

One day I was walking to campus from where I park (at the Atherton YMCA) and I had my cameras dangling at my side...Both of them.  I pulled, as Joe McNally put it, the "Plaxico Burress."

The “Plaxico Burress Default Mechanism”–This is a locking device that initiates whenever you have it slung over your shoulder, dangling at your hip. It prevents the camera from accidentally shooting your leg. (Good thing Burress didn’t shoot himself in the ass, he’d have brain damage on top of everything else.)

I must've fired off five or six frames while heading to class.  I got to class, thumbed through the images and came accross this one.  Whoa. It looked neat.  A cool mistake. But, is it art?

I used to blog for the Honolulu Advertiser.

I also used to be staff.

Now I have a posterous.

==============================

As some of you may know. "The Shutter" was originally the Photo Blog of the Honolulu Advertiser.  In this current incarnation. I will be posting images - mostly outtakes - from my assignments with wire services, commercial clients, or just images from my everyday travels.

Please check back soon! aloha!
