now available in limited quantities in the United States...
the book of Bruce Behnke's photographs published this summer in Japan is now available in the U.S. in limited quantities through Amazon.com entitled Ho'okili o Hawai'i, this bilingual edition is a collection of images from all the islands. Bruce explains the title and theme of the book in this excerpt:
"As I write this, sitting on the lanai behind my house, I am watching a fine, warm, light rain falling in the woods. The rain is so fine, I could walk a long way in it without getting wet. It cools the air and leaves fine, diamond-like water drops on the ferns and tree leaves. Hawaiians call this kind of rain ho'okili. In Hawaiian poetry, rain can signify joy, life, growth, greenery or good fortune. For indeed, our Hawaiian rain showers seem to bring all of those things. I have chosen to call this collection of photographs Ho'okili o Hawai'i because the rain is a ubiquitous and important part of the growth, life and regeneration of the Islands depicted in these images."
Ho'okili o Hawai'i is now available in all major bookstores in Japan and in the United States only on Amazon.com. See our Books section for more details.
Photographer Bruce Behnke will be teaching at the University of Hawaii's Lyon Arboretum on two Saturdays, March 6 and March 13 from 8:30am to 11:30 am.
The class is a nature photography practicum for those who already know how to use their cameras and want to elevate their practice to a new level. Bruce will use in-class discussion and critique, exercises and objective setting. The group will shoot an assignment in the Arboretum and follow up with prints, more discussion, coaching and another photo shoot a week later.
The Lyon Arboretum is charging $50 ($47 for Arboretum members). Enrollment is this class is now closed. Registration for future classes can be arranged by calling the Arboretum offices at 988-0461
