Gingerbread at Princess Kaiulani Hotel - 12/27/2014

Every Christmas there is an awesome gingerbread village display in the Princess Kaiulani Hotel lobby. This year, it was moved to a different location and now they allow people to get really close to the gingerbread so I was able to get a lot of closeup shots. This year, there is even a chocolate Eiffel Tower. 

Study of the heart - 11/27/2014

As a continuation in Black and White, I've seen samples of these types of photos online and was interested in trying shooting something like this. Over Thanksgiving, I was able to enlist help w/ the setup. We found a book and used a wrist band and used an iphone flashlight app to back light the ring onto the book. 

It came out so cool that we found another smaller ring..this is an old flashlight cover that had turned yellow.. hence in the color of the shadow came out yellow.  Too bad we didn't have red filter..that would be more cool.

then we tried double rings..
