Aloha. I found my Hawaii disk. I love my Hawaii disk. It
disappears, then reappears when I least expect it. The photos are not on the
computer, but on this precious little disk. The photos were created long before
I had any inclinations of becoming a photographer. They were shot with a simple
point and shoot. An old point and shoot, not one of these super megapixel point
and shoots you can buy these days.
But I reviewed the disk again because I love the landscape
of Hawaii. Or I should say the seascape of Hawaii. The photos were shot in 2004
on the island of Oahu. The reason I’m bringing them out is because I stated in
my previous post that I don’t have the photographic talent to shoot landscapes
(or something of that sort). When the Hawaii disk does show up, I realize I
underestimate my own talents. And this before I took the whole photographic
thing seriously.
Now to be fair, I did do a little touch up on these photos,
added some contrast, pulled the color for a sharper image. But the skies and
the sea are real. That’s why I love Hawaii. The skies and the sea are
absolutely beautiful.
So maybe I do landscapes (or seascapes or cityscapes or
riverscapes). To me a landscape is rolling hills, but I do know there's more
to it than that. Rolling hills bore me. But the sea and the city and the river,
just my style. And black and white (yeah, that's a style thing too).
Aloha!
