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 normally held on the 4th Monday of the month unless the Clubhouse is closed for a holiday. 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.
Dues are $30 a year from July to July. Anyone joining in other than July will have their dues prorated. Dues can be sent to
Eyes of Hawaii Photography Club
P.O. Box 161066
Honolulu, Hawaii 96816
If you have any questions, please contact our Treasurer Don Rostow at drostow@gmail.com
Visitors may attend up to 2 meetings before deciding whether to join the club. You must bring a contribution if you intend to participate in the Potluck whether or not you are a member. 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.

THEME FOR JULY: "Make The Ordinary Extraodinary"

Use any means/tools to turn an ordinary photo into something extraodinary. You can use anything; Photoshop, Lightroom software. AI camera settings etc. The idea is to change a common image into something different. You can flip and image horizontally or vertically, invert it, colorize it, etc. Use your creativeness, skill and imagination.
Send up to 5 pictures to okanor968@yahoo.com by 6PM, Wednesday, July 21, 2026. Pictures should be 2000 pixels on the long side and labeled with your first name and last name and a numerical number indicating the sequence you want the picture to be in i.e. SamChu1, SamChu 2 etc.
Mahalo to Roy Okano for the theme idea and for putting it together.
