About Us

We meet a few years back, the fall of 1983 and I had just started college as a computer science student. I had brought a small u/w 110 camera and housing with me, but quickly moved a Nikon F2 SLR. Fast forward a few years and friend suggested I work as the student newspaper photographer, which gave me access to a black and white darkroom. Rebuilding the campus observatory, I started taking photos images of the sky late at night. Not good for my academic life, but great fun regardless. Dating we would take photo trips around town when we had fun, and fun we had. I then spent 23 years in the Marine Option Program at UH Hilo, getting paid to take photos for species identification, I ran the electron microscopy lab and took photos to promote the program. I've since moved on to the astronomy department and while I'm in the ocean, I find it exciting with a news of a lunar eclipse, or other epic astronomical event taking place in Hawaii. During this time, I volunteered for the Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hilo, doing computer work from networking, setting up a digital archive system and of course touch screen kiosk systems. It is these touch screen systems that gave me the opportunity to travel to India, Thailand and Alaska setting up multi language kiosks promoting tsunami education.
