I’m joining some other local photographers in a monthly photo post, this first month the theme is ‘water’. If you’re checking out the other posts in the group, you’ve likely seen a few great water shots, here’s mine–I love this moment, I love my family :) Now head over to Sasha Prince’s blog and check out her water shots :) See you next month!

FILM IS NOT DEAD | MAUI

alisa — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:23:35 +0000

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to head over to Maui for Jonathan Canlas’ Film Is Not Dead workshop. I’d met Jon last November doing a 1 on 3 half-day workshop and was thrilled when he announced earlier this year that he’d be having one on Maui, I knew I wanted to be there! I’d highly recommend going to one if you’re into film, or weddings, or just like to take photos and want to improve your shooting skills :)

Sister-in-law Ashley and I boarded a morning flight the day before the workshop started and we met Jon and his assistant Joe once we got off the plane–Jon grabbed an instant shot of us using Joe’s new camera :)

Each day of the 3-day workshop we started with lectures from Jon and even one from Richard Photo Lab. All of them packed with tons of information. Good stuff. Each afternoon we had models to shoot, day 1–engaged couples, day 2–families, day 3–wedding couples. The days went by too quickly, but were filled with amazing information, great food and even better people. Wendy opened her home to host the workshop, and an incredible home it is! I’m so thankful I got to have a mini vacation from my loud kids, met lots of new friends and most of all had fun!

We even made the trip up to Haleakala on day 3, at 3am, but it was definitely worth it!

A HUGE mahalo to Jon for sharing all that he does, so kindly and openly and funnily, to Wendy and her family for hosting and opening your home with us all, all the awesome and fun models, Della from Dellables.com for the beautiful florals, Cheryl from MauiWeddingCakes.com for the amazing and tasty cake, and Sandra at AMauiWeddingDay.com for all her help in planning! Everything was perfect :)

(all images minus the top 4 were taken using my mamiya 645af and 80 1.9)

OCEAN TIME

I got myself a cheap underwater housing–put a couple of rolls through it a few days ago–definitely doing it again, hopefully a few feet deeper :)
