I’ve been wanting to put this cover up since the beginning of November but life has gotten in the way. Not the good life mind you but life. It can really just come out of nowhere and really put you on a different path.
But back to the cover…
I don’t like to sing too many praises to myself at times but I must admit I am very impressed with my ikebana, or Japanese flower arrangement, photo appearing on the cover of Halekulani Living, the resort’s in-house magazine. One of the editors I work with seems to never give me the easy jobs. She never hires me to snap photos of bikini girls or beautiful celebrities as she’s always throwing the hardest and most difficult subjects on my plate. The jobs are usually obscure, never obvious or easy to capture. Either she wants me to fail or she knows I can pull something out of nothing, as they say, and come up with something bordering on the fantastic.
If you could only imagine how this picture was taken and the little photoshop it took to make it sparkle, you’d be surprised. Well, more than surprised. I won’t say much more other than “damn, that’s a good shot!”
