Project Runway with Andy South

Fabulous display of fashion talent with Andy South, Guerra, Casanova, Christopher Collins and Michael Drummond of Project Runway Season 8 fame. I was there to try out my Nikon 70-200 mm f/2.8 lens. Very happy with the results. Most shots were taken at f/5.6, 1/200. The overhead sun proved to be a challenge again at the Ala Moana centerstage.

Thai New Year

Thai New Year at Kapiolani Park. A few food venders and a band playing to a small crowd.

Hula Saturday

Just happened to pass by the center stage at Ala Moana and a local high school, I think Wahiawa, was showcasing their band, chorus and dancers.

Scottish Festival-Men in Skirts

More dancing with bagpipes and other colorful costumes.

Scottish Festival-Games

There were several contests to display the best abilities of a "good wife" in the frying pan and rolling pin throwing contests.

Scottish Festival

This was the second day of the Scottish Festival at Kapiolani Park. It was sparsely attended, most seem to be family and friends of the performers. Entertainment was pretty good with singers, dancers and contests. These girls got some air time in their performances.

Ala Moana Spring Runway Fashion Show

Models strutted their stuff with a preview of spring styles and trends. It was a challenge for me shooting with the variable lighting and my shorter lens, despite my front row seat.

Valerie Joseph-It Girl Event

Valerie Joseph boutique store had 10 finalists vying for the title of "It Girl". Autumn Matsuwaki (in red) was a crowd favorite. She was featured in Thursday's Star Advertiser. But she was edged out by the youngest contestant (last pic). The photogenic Autumn made it a joy to shoot the event.
