    Christmas is definitely a time for the children. It is when their dreams come true and hearts are relenquished for the new year. And as the gifts and presents are unwrapped, we are reminded that the Holidays isn't about toys or candy or feasts, but about being grateful for what we have and that sharing a part of ourselves - the happiness, kindness and joy inside of us, is what really matters. With the new year, there is always hope and a chance for renewal and forgiveness. Let us march forward in good nature. The Hungry Eye hopes you had a wonderful holiday season!

    November 5th was Military Appreciation Night at Aloha Stadium when Utah State brought their brand of football up against the Hawaii Warriors. There were special presentations before kick-off, honoring military spouses, as well as a "wounded warrior" ceremony at halftime. Military and local dignitaries were there for the festivities, amongst a grateful crowd and the always jubilant University of Hawaii Marching Band.

    On the field and under a rainy Halawa sky, the hometown Warriors lead 31-14 after three quarters. Utah State then rallied for the comeback to win 35-31. Pre-season Heisman hopeful and quarterback Bryant Moniz finished with 227 yards through the air on 27-of-43 passing and joined Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan in the 10,000-plus yards club. The loss, however, puts Hawaii out of the race for the Western Athletic Conference title.

    As a huge Hawaii fan, it was great being on the sidelines shooting again. But it's always a privilage to honor the men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom every day.

    October 25, 2011 - With the NBA in a lockout, reigning league MVP Derrick Rose is leading a USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour of players to military bases in Hawaii. The group, including NBA stars Tyreke Evans, Al Horford, D.J. Augustin, Brook Lopez, JaVale McGee, Robin Lopez and Mike Miller, is playing basketball with soldiers and their families on base. They will lead youth clinics and meet with military families and hopefully boost morale.

    I was fortunate to be there last night and have the opportunity to take some pics.

    "It is an honor anytime I am able to give back and I appreciate the opportunity to travel to Hawaii and visit with troops and their families on a USO tour," said Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings. Evans also happened to hit the game winning shot at the buzzer that night. 

    There will be another tour exhibition at Schofield Barracks on Thursday evening.

    (I shot these photos with my pair of Canon 5D Mark II bodies and a 70-200 2.8 II at 4000 iso. I really wish I'd had a 7D or even the new 1D-X. Being able to anticipate a move on instinct is great, but having a quick burst-rate is sometimes better. Enjoy!)

    I recently added a new member to my family of Canon lenses - the 35mm 1.4L. Simply put, this thing is amazing. 

    I took it with me on my recent trip to Las Vegas and Disneyland (yes, again). The following photos are straight out of the camera (for the most part). I may have cropped them slightly and upped the fill light just a tiny bit, but for the most part, what you see is what you get.

    Tiare_5_of_85

    Always wanted to do a sort of geeky parody of Tiare's true self. Here are the results!

    Hair, makeup and styling are all her.

    We essentially shot guerilla in the library so librarians were following us like hawks. Still, I'm glad we had a few usable shots!

    Disney_40_of_60

    This past week, I had the opportunity to take my hungry eyes over to the Disneyland Resort in California. As a frequent visitor, rather than just leisurely enjoying myself, I went with a mission this time. I went with purpose - to capture as many characters as I could with my cameras.

    I decided to travel light. Most of my photos would be shot in the generous light of the SoCal sun, so fast, heavy lenses and strobes stayed home and wept.

    Camera and lenses:

    • Canon 5D Mark II
    • 24-105L f4 - good all around lens,
    • 70-200 f4-5.6 - great for parade closeups
    • 85mm 1.8 - I don't think I used this even once
    • 50mm 1.8 - Ideally, I would have a 35mm 1.4 but this would have to do. Great for nighttime or in the rides shots.
    • 15mm 2.8 fisheye - something different
    • Canon s95 - brought along this point-n-shoot so that I could give it to other people to take pics of me. Lending people my SLR often led to blurry useless shots and me sobbing buckets (and I look really stupid doing that, so no more).

    Now, Most people who's been to a Disney park will tell you that getting a photo of or with a character is no easy feat. You've gotta wait in line, the character could leave at any time, regardless of HOW LONG you waited, or they may not show up or be substituted by some other character right as you are about to step up to the plate. (I noticed that this happens especially if you want a photo with someone in particular. Grr...)

    Related story. I was waiting for the Tomorrowland Monorail the other day and overheard a woman griping "I haven't seen one Disney character the entire week that we've been here. Are we even at Disneyland?" I sort of chuckled inside.

    They're here, dear, but you have to be lucky, a fortunate victim of happenstance, or... put in the energy to study a particular cahracters schedules and hunt them down.

     Luck was on my side and all three things happened on this visit. Happy, happy! :)

    I took a while bunch of shots, but most would be reduntant to the stuff I posted last year. Instead, I'm just putting up the with Disney face characters (no masks).
