WELCOME!

To the Eyes of Hawaii Photography Club Website!

We are photographers of all skill levels who not only share our love of photography but also like to socialize with other like-minded people.

Our meetings are held on the 4th Monday of the month. Potluck is from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Our general meeting is from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Meetings normally consist of member presentations, short technical tutorials, the Theme of the Month Slide Show and a guest speaker.

Visitors may attend up to 2 meetings before deciding whether to join the club. with over 90 members, the meetings tend to be quite crowded and confusing to some so if you are there for the first time, please ask for our Vice-President, Eddie Freeman.

Terry’s Place is a small intimate locally owned restaurant on the edge of Chinatown run by Terry Kakazu and her sisters. We have reserved the whole restaurant for the EOH Party. There is a main dining area, back room and outdoor seating area. They plan to shut down next year so we would like to take advantage of this place and support local business for this year’s party.

Thank you to Luther for putting on another great Worshop

THEME FOR JANUARY: "YOUR BEST OF 2022"

Submit up to 5 pictures or video of up to 15 seconds (2 videos totalling 15 seconds can also be submitted) to: erickt72@gmail.com

Send to: by midnight WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 2023.

Please insure your submitted pictures are at least 2000 pixels wide and not too small (I.e. 300-500px).
Send the pictures as an attachment rather than embedding the picture in an email.

Remember to rename each image beginning with your name, eg., JoeBlow1, JoeBlow2, JoeBlow3, etc.

After sending your pictures, if you have not received an acknowledgement, please send a second email asking for such, since it might mean they did not arrive.

"5 PHOTO STORY"

"5 Photo Story" will be a new feature at our meetings. . It would be similar to the Contemporary Photo Exhibition where a "portfolio" of photos which is called Visual storytelling or Narrative Photography. It could be something simple as a day in the life of a photographer or Christmas shopping or the homeless problem in Honolulu or the birth of a butterfly. The story (in 2-3 sentences) must be submitted with the photos. The challenge will be not to have 5 photos of an event but to tell a story within the event. For example, it’s easy to get 5 photos of a wedding but the challenge is to get 5 photos of the cake cutting ceremony with the smiles, laughter and messy faces.

Send you photo stories to Lance Wong at: dragon0419@yahoo.com
