“Photos through a lens by my eye” JC
Aloha!
Most of the time, I feel like a Hawaiian. As the motto goes, “ainokea” (I no care – no worries) or even “shaka” (hang loose), embracing the island style of life. Maybe it’s because I visit the islands throughout the year, or perhaps it’s the way I dress.
Many people ask about my ethnicity. “Banana” fits: Asian on the outside yet white on the inside. My Irish dad plays a big part in this, influencing the food I like, but not my Japanese mother. Let’s just say, I fit in well with my company.
In my free time, I am a photographer of cosplay. Press coverage of conventions has increased my knowledge of anime and manga, which may or may not help in the real world. My love for anime movies led me to watch the endless series available. With an artistic understanding of photography, I appreciate the skill and creativity that goes into the costumes.
Pushing a button only captures what is seen through the lens by my eye. My camera may be glued to my hands; please do not pry it out, as pain will occur.
Mahalo!
