First Friday – December 2010

I wandered around Chinatown last night during First Friday and stumbled onto a fashion show at the Hawaii Institute of Hair Design. If you are one of the models or designers from the show, click through to the full photo set.

I was invited to attend an arrival ceremony for fallen servicemen recovered from World War 2 and the Vietnam war. The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) holds arrival ceremonies every few months or so to honor those recovered from the field. The remains will be identified over the next several months at JPAC’s Central Identification Laboratory and be returned to their families.

I got turned on to free lensing a month or so ago. I’ve been playing with it on and off since then. My favorite technique is to make tilt-shift photos with just a 50 mm lens sticking halfway out of the camera body.
