Katch Time


My plan for yesterday was to finally walk around in the Kakaako area and get some photos of their murals. Wendell's softball games got cancelled, so I was relieved of Aunty-sitting duties.  But . . . rain, rain, rain and more rain hampered my plans. I went to my mom's house in the morning to wait it out. By the afternoon, when it became apparent that it wasn't gonna let up, I decided to do go anyway and check out the one mural that I really, really wanted to shoot most . . . Katch's.


I had staked out the area earlier, so I knew exactly where to go. It was still raining hard when I got there, but I was determined . . . or stubborn . . . or stoopid . . . so I got out of my car and started shooting. I hurried . . . it took me about 2 minutes. Me and my camera still got pretty wet. But it was worth it. Check out his work below . . . and you'll see why . . . he is my favorite.

This is my favorite, I am impressed with how he used the existing grills to create a scene. I don't know if Katch titled it. I refer to it as sad clocks. They know their future. Jalna, I am glad you focused on the different parts of this mural. There is so much detail. Great job!!!

I owe my thanks to you Celia. I didn't know about the mural until I saw it on your blog.

Aww, thanks Didi.

Thanks Shun Wah. I always try to use a polarizing filter when I shoot murals, although I don't know if it helps on overcast days. I also underexpose my shots a little bit and then lighten with curves in Lightroom.

Wow, this is a nice one...I drive around Kakaako all the time, I can't believe I haven't seen it. The weather was crappy but at least the lighting was nice eh? :)

Les, the mural lies perpendicular to the street and it's inside of a parking lot so it's not 'bam' visible, especially if you're driving. The lighting coulda been a tad brighter, but I loved the cloud cover.

Thanks Erick. I'm "Major Flavor Jellos" of your Audrey Hepburn shoot. You totally did an awesome job.
