Just finished uploading photos from my recent trip to O’ahu, Hawaii onto Flickr–thanks DC for letting me borrow that lens! For the photos, I’ve broken things down into two sets: Hopu Ka Lewa and O’ahu. The former covers the initial impetus for this trip: to attend Hopu Ka Lewa 2009 Ultimate tournament held at the Waimanalo Polo Fields in O’ahu, Hawaii from November 7-9, 2009. This is my first shot at sports photography, so it can only get better from here.The later set covers what happened after the tourney: hiking and beaches. Needless to say, it was an excellent trip.

Over the last week I’ve been updating PantherModem.com bit by bit. I’ve added links to my Innovis publications page, posted my visualization portfolio, and did some general house keeping. I think the renovations are now done, and I hope you like the changes.

Before I go, I’ll leave you with my new favourite picture (and my first HDR photo) which I shot last weekend:

I took this picture in a subway tunnel last weekend while in New York. It reminds me of the architecture from Tsutomu Nihei’s Blame!

I’ve been quietly adding some more photographs to my account, so it was about time I made note of it on the blog.

Public Notice: New photographs are now online. And this one is my favourite:

This past week, I’ve uploaded a few new pictures to my Flickr account. This one here is definitely my favourite of the batch:

Pictures from my AT skiing trip to ACC’s Bow Hut in early February of this year.

Here’s one of my latests addition to my Flickr photos.

This picture was taken on a midnight XC skiing trip I did back in February on the Goat Creek Trail, a 18 km stretch of track that connects Canmore to Banff. The strips of light coming down the hill and across the bridge, are the head-lamps of skiers, as too are the wide streaks of light in the center and right side of the photograph. Those latter streaks are from people standing close to the camera lens wearing head-lamps.

Gallery 2 is dead. Long live Flickr.

In the past, Gallery 2 was my go-to-guy for putting my photographs online. I had found a theme to my liking and things were going smoothly. Well, sort of. Over time, management was becoming increasing annoying and general usability was plagued by insufferably low bandwidth. When my web hosting company performed a “server upgrade” and in the process broke my photo gallery, I began questioning if I wanted to continue using Gallery 2 for my online photo publishing needs.

Today that question was answered.

I dropped my Gallery 2 database tables and created a [Pro] account. Check it out at: PantherModem @ Flickr
