This summer, I was fortunate enough to have my company ship me out to Hawaii for a business trip. I guess I am one of the lucky guys. Anyway, I won’t go into the work side of the trip here, but if you are curious.
So, I spent a few late nights prior to my flight setting up as much of the network as I could before I left the mainland. This is my attempt at maximize the time I can get the network setup, but also maximizes the amount of time for fun, sun, and of coarse, photography. We shall see..
I also had a unique problem, in that I was trying to travel lite, and since I had to hand carry a computer server, some of my camera gear would need to be left behind. Truly a sad day for me, but I guess I can’t complain too much.
Photography in Maui is actually an interesting problem. The vast landscapes are criss crossed by power lines, farms, and buildings. Arguably not my favorite subject matter. The majority of the photos that I have seen usually involve amazing sunsets, smooth beaches and a few palms trees. I try to avoid the obvious when I am composing. Additional problems involved dark black lava rock, harsh noon sunlight.
I will be writing more in time, I am a bit anxious to post some photographs, but I would like to be sure to thank the gang at Hono Hu’aka Tropical Plantation for taking such good care of me.
