Zoomify! ~ September 28th, 2007
I discovered a cool program called Zoomify that allows viewers to zoom in on high-resolution or panoramic photographs. I always enjoy taking a panoramic shot on my trips and took quite a few while in Eastern Europe a few years ago. I've added four of them to my website. Enjoy!
(You can stop looking. Waldo isn't in any of the photos.) ~K

For the new year, I re-designed my entire travel website, kahunna.net. I hope you find the new design easier on the eyes as well as easier to navigate. More stories and photos from my travels will be added soon.
Looks like I'm still at square one with retrotravels.net. I'm still thinking of ways to make it work, but for now, it's going on the back burner.

Journal on moleskinerie.com ~ June 27th, 2006
My most precious relics brought back from my journeys abroad are my journals. Recently, the scans and photographs featuring my journals on my flickr.com page has been picked up on moleskinerie.com!   Click here to read more. One of my first tasks as a writer (after my tasks as the web designer have been completed) is to write an article about documenting travel for eurotrek.net. ~K |

Update: Gallery ~ June 24th, 2006
I have opened up the Gallery on this website. The section will showcase my favorite photographs I have taken both locally and abroad and will include some thoughts about the subject matter and the story behind the shot. As of this posting, I only have two photos up, but I should be adding a couple every week. I hope to add a few that aren't up over on my travel-related site, kahunna.net. ~K |

Bingo! ~ June 12th, 2006
A couple of weekends ago while I was studying an old Bingo set I bought on eBay, an idea for an urban challenge popped into my head: how difficult would it be to locate specific terrazzo found on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles by the smallest to clues? I've spent many-a-weekend afternoons photographing my favorite street, but only recently started concentrating on the interesting textures found beneath the soles of one's shoes. I grabbed my camera, a couple bingo chips, and headed downtown. It was just my luck that it was something around 1000 degrees downtown, but after an hour of taking a handful of close-up shots of the Broadway sidewalks, I had what I needed. I posted the following challenge on my blog over at retrotravels.net:
I also posted it on Flickr and shared it with the blogdowntown photo pool, hoping that the challenge takes hold. Eric Richardson over at blogdowntown.com has picked up on my challenge on his site, helping to gain support. There has been a mixed reaction to the challenge. Some have mentioned that they plan on going downtown with a printout of my collage to try to identify the historic urban terrain. One guy had given up before he had a chance to begin, saying that it is impossible since "the shots are are too tight to identify" and not enough detail is given of the area. Hm. I guess he didn't see how the texture, the metal lining, and the colors of the marble terrazzo are as unique as the buildings they lie in front of. This challenge wasn't made to be easy, folks! It won't be solvable online no matter how well you are at googling. Get out there and take a walk down Broadway! After all, the whole point of this challenge is to hopefully introduce you to the amazing strata of history located downtown. As you pack a water bottle and a camera (I want pics!), I'll wait patiently for you, wondering if there's an Angelino out there willing to solve this challenge. ~K UPDATE! ~ June 16th, 2006 Eric Richardson of blogdowntown.com solved my urban challenge! I would have loved to see him walking around trying to figure it out. He did such a good job, he even identified exactly where I had photographed most of the bingo pieces. Kudos goes out to Eric for his interest in my little game! |

Welcome! ~ June 10th, 2006
Here we go! The first entry in my website's blog! Exciting, isn't it?!? Nah, I didn't think so either. I guess I'll start this off with the reason why I added yet another blog onto the Internet. It's simple, really: organization! Right now I'm creating/adding to/helping with a handful of projects that I'd like to share in one area, making it easy for you, the wonderful reader, to explore and hopefully keep track of them. Here's the short list of the websites I'm currently working on:
