Oh the shame.

I know it would seem unfaithful for me to ignore my own blog in order to post photo tips on a much bigger blog…. but I have been doing that for the past couple months. Cheating on myself! The other blog is called the Digital Photography Experience, or DP Experience, for short

I was invited by internationally known photographers/instructors Rick Sammon, and Juan Pons to become a part of their growing blog community — with about 15,000 daily readers. I was whooed and honored at the prospect of being “one of them“…. know what I mean?

Well, now I am one of them, and I find that I am learning a lot just by being forced to sit down and write a 300 word photography tip once each week. It is fun, and it make me actually think about how to put my motorized picture-taking process into a logical set of words.

Now my goal is to post the same tips on both sites… sort of double-dipping with the Doritos, if you will.

This blog has been made up of many fun, personal, non-photography experiences. I love to write like this, when I find the time. I will still attempt to keep posting my more personal posts here. If I am slacking, I know Rachael will kick me in the butt and nudge me to post a blog; you know how she is! You will also start seeing a few of my tips here.

Oh! by the way, we all survived the massive 3-foot tsunami following the Chilean earthquake. It was a really great practice drill for the island, and we all shared the aloha that day as we sat for hours on the mountain. It was a huge, fun backyard party and BBQ once we saw how harmless the 4 waves were. We will be extra-ready for the next time!

Aloha, a hui hou…
