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.
If you're in the area, go check it out. It's on the Makai side of Auahi between Keawe and Coral.

Very cool!
I agree Dean . . . Katch's work is very, very cool!!
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!!!
awesome...totally felt like I was watching a movie.... ;o}
wow cool mural..so what is your secret in capturing such vibrant colors in your murals..esp. on such an overcast day? jellos!
Way cool! Love all the details, I like go. Major Flavor Jellos.
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.
Incredible!!!
I agree, Akemi!
