Aloha Members,

Get ready for an exciting meeting next week. We'll be hosting Lyman Medeiros an accomplished videographer, photographer, story teller and business owner. Lyman is born and raised on Hawaii Island and his professional careen spans decades on Radio and Television.

Here's the information that I sent to West Hawaii Today regarding our upcoming meeting:
---------------------
Kona Camera Club announces that Lyman Madeiros is our next Speaker:

The Kona Camera Club was founded in 2001 by a group of amateur and professional photographers to accentuate the art of observation and provide local photographers with the opportunity to expand their talents and deepen their understanding of the art of photography.

At the end of 2021 the core team made a decision that would change the way people think about a photography club. The club has decided to expand their scope by adding more media types to its monthly agendas. The club has never been a place to just sit around and talk about lenses on the contrary “we have hosted professional photographers, photojournalists, travel adventures and Social Media gurus” said Kirk Shorte acting President. This month’s meeting will feature a Big Island icon to whose careers in TV and Radio and photography spans decades.

Lyman Medeiros

*Co-Owner Big Island Television, Channel 130, Local Programming of Big Island people and places

*Owner Laulima Media, my personal videography business

*Born Hilo HI

*1980 began radio career, worked at many island stations

*1983, amateur black and white still photography

*1985, Ackerman Black Productions, Big Island Television

*Skills: Cameraman, producer, script writing, voice over narration, video editing.

“The stories that I enjoy most are the personal lives of those who live here. We have a diverse population here on the island and their stories are remarkable. From musicians to craftsmen to historians to the Kona coffee farmer each has a unique perspective on the life they lead. Capturing that story on camera gives me the most personal satisfaction.” Lyman Medieros

Join us on Thursday February 24, 2022 at 6pm for an exciting presentation. RSVP to [email protected] for the Zoom link no later than Wednesday February 23, 2022.
Mahalo,

Day 2 of “install the cabinet extension”. Progress is being made, the new jams and doors are up. Plus I picked up 2 rolls of backdrop paper and 2 great curtains. 1 20’x10’ black and a 20’x10’ white curtain. Along with the 3 4’x10’ black curtains I will be able to control the light nicely in the new space.

Progress continues at a good pace. The walls are up on the second full day of construction. They will be primed tomorrow and fully painted on Nov 10th. The new cabinet construction will kickoff on Nov 3rd. The electrician will start running new circuits, trenching and installing switches, a ceiling fan and outlets hopefully the second week of November. I have to buy a curling fan and paint for the floor then I’ll be ready to start booking shoots. If you need Head Shots or would like to book a studio family portraits of holiday photos contact me to book.
