My Photos of Hawaii

wrote:
I asked for advice from these groups prior to my trip to Hawaii in
January. Now, I have a few of my photos available for viewing online.
Photo Albums 0 through 90 represent about 1/4 of the total photos I
took in Hawaii. Please, tell me what you think of them:

You must be joking - there are hundreds of them. You think people have
the time and bandwidth to sift through hundreds of your holiday photos?

Pick your best 12 and put those up for comment. Then you might get some
useful feedback.

My last count was just under 1300.

I hope I am not infringing on their pr0n and pirated media downloads. I
mean, just about every high school kid downloads GIGABYTES of MP3s
these days.

I already have gotten useful feedback, just not from Usenet.
Thankfully, I have access to other forums, online and off.

You should have driven to the top of the volcano. Most impressive! Go
back and see that one!

Yes, that is one of my regrets from that trip. I had particularly
wanted to see the caldera. Unfortunately, I just wasn't able to do it.
Fortunately, that does not mean the entire trip was wasted. Far from
it!

Ron, I'm guessing you're an American...?

You're not infringing on anything, because no one with an opinion worth
having is going to sift through 1,300 of your holiday photos to give you
feedback on them.

Meaning what, exactly? I can't wait to hear this one.

Hawaii is a place I really love but these photos seem to me like a total
waste of a trip.

Most people of other nationalities would climb a volcano. You know, pull
on boots and use their legs to propel themselves up the side of it? This
results in exercise and a sense of personal achievement. I figured only
an American would recommend driving up one.

LOL, there used to drive bus loads of people to the top of Mt Kosiousko for
a look, now the closest you can get in a vehicle is about 6Km.

It's a matter of perspective.... you see all of your photos as a chance to
relive each moment of your great trip to Hawaii, while the rest of us see
it as a tremendous amount of individual photos. Overall they do tell a
story but the same story could be told with far less photos.
Reminds me of back in the days when slides (or home movies) were
so popular. A neighbor would take a trip, come home and invite all the
neighbors in to see them. About midnight with 4 or 5 more trays of slides
to view folks would get restless and sleepy ..... it gets old.
Enjoy your photos but for the rest of us, it's a bit much!
