Malama Maui (34 photos)

We are working with the Maui Visitors Bureau (http://www.visitmaui.com) to help promote Maui's innovative and sustainable practices. From the eco-friendly sailing canoe adventures on the beach, all the way to the top of the mountains where Maui Cattle Company herds roam and feed only on the grasses of the Maui Mountains. Maui is leading the way in it's use of New Media and Social Networks in order to tell the world why Maui is so unique in it's approach to conservation and preservation of Hawaii's native culture and Aina (land).

Shower Buddy (4 photos)

There's always lots of lizards and geckos scurrying about outside the house here in Hawaii. But this little guy "owns" the shower and chases off any intruders. On this day, he was feeling especially brave and let me get within a few inches but my camera.

Best Camera (iPhone App) (9 photos)

Photographs taken with my iPhone and processed with the "Best Camera" app (http://bestc.am) and uploaded directly from the app.

Hipstamatics (29 photos)

Hipstamatic is an amazing iPhone app that I used to take these photos. http://hipstamaticapp.com/ From their website: "The Hipstamatic for iPhone is an application that brings back the look, feel, unpredictable beauty, and fun of plastic toy cameras from the past."

Freelensing (4 photos)

I just saw the term "freelensing" tonight for the first time. Too dark to head outside so could only experiment in the house. Looking forward to trying this outside and at the beach!

35000ft (11 photos)

A mixture of photographs from several flights between Honolulu overnight to Palm Beach, Florida. Roxanne works from HNL to SFO; stretches in SFO; sleeps on the way to Charlotte; and reads and catches a nap on the last leg to Palm Beach.

An afternoon by the pool (21 photos)

Beauty is everywhere. In the patterns of trees, water, stone, and concrete. Just stop. Close your eyes. Breathe... Now open your eyes and take a fresh look at those everyday things that surround you. Taken in Palm Beach during our recent trip to Florida in January, 2010. These photographs are for sale at shanerobinson.imagekind.com and also may be licensed as stock photography at shanerobinson.smugmug.comt

Abstract Photographs (40 photos)

This entire set was my first attempt at abstract photography and ICM (intentional camera movement). First one happened by accident but then I ran around the house for about 45 minutes shooting over 500 photographs while trying different types of camera settings and different ways of moving the camera. With most of these I used the camera as if it were a paintbrush. That's especially true of the spiky yellow light ones in the center of the set. All photographys in this Gallery were created entirely in-camera. No Photoshop, digital manipulation, or post-processing of any kind was used in the creation of these photographs.

Saturday Evening Walk at Kalama Beach Park (8 photos)

Rox, Lexi, and I took a quick walk at Kalama Beach Park last Saturday evening right after sunset. I grabbed the camera on the way out the door and these are my favorite shots from the walk.

Thanksgiving, 2009, in Kansas (17 photos)

Rox and I spent a few days with my family in Kansas City over the Thanksgiving weekend. I actually didn't take a lot of pics except one afternoon when my sister, Danielle (herself a budding photographer) asked me to shoot a few of her and her family at a nearby park. I don't consider myself a photographer but we got a few fun pics and had fun playing in the sunny but brisk November weather.

Social Media Club Hawaii, October 9, 2009 (66 photos)

This Social Media Club Hawaii event centered around Flickr. How, Why, and how best to use it for your personal, professional, and event photographs. Somewhat ironic that I, as a complete newbie to photography, was the "official photographer" for this event... This is the first public event I've shot with our new Canon T1i. I've never used a SLR camera before, only the little point-n-click pocket cameras. I have a LOT to learn about how to capture moving people at events while using the Manual setting and not using flash... Also, if you see someone in a photo who is not tagged, please do so.

Beach Shoot with @VuBui (14 photos)

@RoxanneDarling and I did a short photo shoot with @VuBui on Lanikai beach while he was on Oahu at the end of September, 2009. We just got a Canon T1i, my first real camera, a few weeks before he arrived and these are some of the first pics I took with the camera "behind the scenes" as he shot Rox. Still trying to figure out how exposure, F-stops, film speed, and shutter speed work together as you can tell from some of the photos. All photos are straight from the camera. I don't touch them in iPhoto or Photoshop.

Overnight Embark on the Navy USS Nimitz (CVN 68) Aircraft Carrier (7 photos)

NOTE: Most of our photos are posted on Roxanne's USS Nimitz Set Roxanne Darling (@roxannedarling on Twitter), I, and 14 other "Distinguished Visitors (DVs) from Hawaii had the priviledge and honor of spending almost 24 hours aboard the US Navy aircraft carrier, USS Nimitz as she ran training operations off the southern coast of the Big Island, Hawaii.

First Shots from the Canon T1i (7 photos)

My Loft 4 Sale in Santa Fe, NM - Photos by Pav (15 photos)

NOTE: New MLS listing: bit.ly/myloft If you refer someone to me that ends up buying my loft, and you can prove that you referred that person, I'll pay you $1,000.00! I met Andrew "Pav" Pavitt last year at SxSW in Vegas. He was traveling across the US (he's Aussie) and was going to be staying in a hostel in Albuquerque for 3-4 days. I told him that he should instead stay in Santa Fe (60 miles North) and that I had an empty Loft just sitting there wanting someone to visit. I then found out he is an excellent architectural photographer. He was kind enough to take these photos of my Loft in Sanfa Fe. Now I'm putting it up for sale. Know anyone that wants to live in a beautiful, completely unique Loft i Santa Fe, New Mexico? If so, email me at shane@shanerobinson.com PS: This PhotoSet originated and is managed directly from an Album in my iPhoto. When I add photos to this Album in iPhoto, they are automatically added to this set on Flickr. Very slick!

Office Remodel (4 photos)

After several weeks of thinking about how to work in a new Mac Pro and MacBook Air into my already messy office, I decided this morning at 5:30am that I've finally had it and that it was time to just do it. If all goes well, two days from now I'll have a kick-ass new office layout.

Toys (8 photos)

MeToday (11 photos)

One photo, per day, of me.

365Days (21 photos)

Take a photo of yourself, every day, for 365 days. Join the 365Days pool. Tag it with "365Days" and add it to the pool. Now just try to remember to take a new pic every single day.

Lan & Bonny - Visit Hawaii (14 photos)

Lan & Bonny from Noodlescar (http://www.noodlescar.com) visited Hawaii for the first time and crashed with us for a couple of days. It was already late when we picked them up at the airport but they were ready to experience Hawaii so we stopped by Dr Trey's studio and found he, Kekai and Alan hanging out, talking story and having a few beers.

Kailua and Lanikai Beach (15 photos)

We're on this beach every day. Guess I should create a set.

Fish Pond - Above and Below (7 photos)

Loft Remodel (12 photos)

Adding a wall of cabinets and range/microwave to the kitchen and a new bathroom and laundry closet to the upper loft

The Loft (15 photos)

I bought, designed and built a loft at The Lofts (http://www.thelofts.com) in Santa Fe in 2001. It's our Santa Fe base of operations and where we live and work and meet clients several times a year.

Ireland and London 2006 (80 photos)

In April I flew from Santa Fe to Dublin, Ireland to visit, Beth, my ex-wife. She had been living there for 3 years and was preparing to move back to the States so I went to visit before she did. We also went to London for 3 days and I completely fell in love with London.
