maliaio

hi, this is my first journal entry. it’s been quite the month. i work with the pacific arts hawaii and they put my photos on snapfish this month and made up my new business cards, then so many of you asked me to join redbubble and facebook and i did and i’ve been trying to get my work posted and join in. then last week i got a job mentoring a young fella who wants to be a photographer. i start working with him this week.
a lot of my work this week was done on the volcano and at the beach, then saturday i went to an informational fair in pahoa town, i lived there 20 years before moving to hilo. it was great seeing old friends and i ended up working. a friend of mine is a counsel woman for the district and asked me if i would photograph the event. i got some great images, usually i shoot landscapes, flowers, seascapes, but not people, i don’t want to get into dealing with releases, but since this was public i was told no releases were needed and everyone seemed quite happy to smile and pose for me. so it’s been quite the month and quite the busy week. this week looks like more of the same and that’s fine with me. the more i have the camera in my had the hapier i am.
