Theme for March - Selfie

A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking. They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies". Be creative and send your photos by end of day, Friday, March 28, 2014. YOU MUST BE AN EOH MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING TO SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS. Send your submission to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

My wife and I, plus two friends, will be in Honolulu in early April and we’re looking for someone to do two 60 minute, journalistic style, photo shoots. We’re not looking for posed pictures so much as candid moments that document part of our time in Honolulu.

I’m writing to EOH in hopes that you might ask your members if anyone, with an event photography skillset, is interested. Specifically, here’s what we’re looking for:

The locations would be indoors and outdoors, one session more toward the morning and one more toward the evening/night. Our available days are 4/2. 4/4. 4/5, or 4/6.

None of the images need to be processed/edited (I will do that myself in Lightroom and Photoshop), and we would like them on a USB drive.

We are looking to spend $200. Since there is no post-processing, I hope that this will be attractive to one of your younger photographers or perhaps someone who is looking to pick up extra money when they’re not shooting weddings/events on the weekend.

Interested photographers should contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thanks,

Brent Busboom

Specific interests are culture, landscape and night landscapes / night sky.

Any assistance you could give me would be appreciated. I will be restricted to public transport.

From EOH Member Lance Wong

If anyone is interested in learning about lighting, how I use natural light and off camera flash in my model photography, you are welcome to volunteer as my assistant. I shoot 1-3 times per week, usually weekends and some weekdays. Shoots are normally 2 hours. Message me on FB or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . As an assistant you will be expected to show up on time, stay the entire shoot, do some light lifting and carrying of equipment. My biggest rule is NO cameras on set except mine and that includes cell phone cameras. Stanley Yamada,Don Rostow , Richard Daniels, Erick Tsukiyama, Gary Nakanishi and Marsha have assisted me so if you have any questions, you can ask them what its like. I've learned a lot from those that have assisted me and many other very generous EOH members. I'm willing to share what I know with anyone that wants to learn.
