I'm in Hawaii to shoot a football game. I'm not a big fan of the beach and sun so much of the appeal of this place is lost on me. Waikiki, where I'm staying is essentially Las Vegas with a beach. It's the most commercial, tourist pocked place I've ever been.
I've been to the island of Hawaii aka The Big Island and much of it is quite nice. Fewer tourists and more glimpses of what it must have looked like before Whitey fucked things up.
My room on the 28th floor has a small balcony which gives me a view of the ocean. It's nice but the noise from the traffic below is a constant reminder that I'm in a city. Sirens are ever present. As I type this I can see people with surfboards strapped to their bikes heading for the beach.
I walked around today and shot pictures of tourists. I'm sure if I spent more time I could do better but hey, I'm here to shoot football.
I shot this stuff in color of course but since I set the color balance wrong and wasn't able to see the screen because of the bright sunlight, I converted them to black and white.
