Up in the air
I've spent a lot of time looking out the window. As a child, I always chose the window seat, a habit that stuck with me until now. I guess there is something poetic about faces and places passing you by, and while photographers talk about developing a keen artistic eye, personally, I look at it as cultivating appreciation and gratitude. Appreciation for the beauty, artistry and grandeur of this place we call home and gratitude that we are able to be a part of it.

The artistry is in the details.
Aloha, I'm Elaine Panlilio & welcome to my photography blog!
For my first blog post, I invite you to get up-close (& personal? Hmmm, maybe we'll work on the personal part later on, shall we?).
I am the type of person who appreciate the beauty and artistry in patterns and intricate details. When photographing along this theme, trying out different angles can produce interesting results. Don't be afraid to get up-close, kneel, or lay down if you have to in order to get that shot.
The chandeliers and the candle sconce in the photos above are from the Parker Ranch Historic Homes in Kamuela (or more popularly known as Waimea) on the Big Island of Hawaii. Puuopelu, the second home on the site, was purchased by John Parker II and was expanded and modernized by Richard Palmer Smart. This home is known for its European heirloom furniture, crystal chandeliers and delicate figurines, along with one of the finest private art collections in Hawaii.
The MacBook Pro in this photo is my own (and what I am using as I am blogging this!), the desk is from one of the rooms at the Courtyard Marriott in Waikiki.
The Bird of Paradise flower is from a garden in Waimea. Can you see the tiny black ladybug?
So what are you waiting for? The best way to learn is to just go out there, start snapping some photos and above all, just have fun!
