March 1, 2008: "why" do I work on this site and what is in it for me?
I started wondering how great it would be if we shared our images from all the EOH shoots (or some of our own shoots) with exif, and use it as a tool to learn from each other. Plus, it is always fun to see how others saw the same shoot you where on and how they shot it.
The Eyes of Hawaii club has helped me "get out and shoot". In fact some of my favoite images has been on a EOH shoot or with a EOH member (Ken,Reid,Milton,Jerry, and Stanley/Maureen).
"this" is my small way of giving back to the Eyes of Hawaii Club..... "so now, you know the rest of the story" ...
* At it's core, that is what the EOH is about: Members sharing/helping other Members.
It always surprises me, when you "share" ... how much you get in return (as long as you don't expect it) ... Aloha, Ross Hamamura

* WHEN YOU POST AN IMAGE *
Not only are you sharing your shot and view of the world … by including your exif shooting data you are also helping others! (and that in itself, gives meaning and purpose to posting images of your experiances ... good or bad).
