Took about 350 pictures, majority which were black, and these 12 came out nice.

It’s pretty fun and something I’d like to get better at.  So much to learn…

Anyways, here’s some pics from Chinatown last night.

Some of you may be thinking, “What old one? I’ve never seen a Hard Rock here.” Well that’s because its former location was very hidden, hard to find, hard to see, hard to get to… it was right across the street from the Convention Center on Kalakaua and Kapi’olani.

Now at the entrance to Waikiki, the new Hard Rock Cafe serves excellent food, has awesome music videos playing all the time (Metallica, Megadeath, Beastie Boys, to name a few artists) and looks amazing! They have a huge “wave” of guitars starting from the main steps and extending all the way though the entire restaurant.

The food was really tasty and the service was great.  A little pricey, but it’s not a McDonald’s menu!  So check out the new Hard Rock Cafe in Waikiki.

It’s sand with liquid in a picture frame. The cool thing is that the picture keeps changing! I think it’s awesome; watching art appear before your eyes! Though, I was called a hippie for liking it so much… It actually is pretty soothing, and I can calm down during my stressful days at work by watching the sand build a new picture for a few minutes at a time.

I got mine from Martin & McArthur in Ala Moana, so go get yours! There’s gold, sea green and blue with various wood frames. exotic-sand 1 exotic-sand 2 exotic-sand 3 exotic-sand 4 exotic-sand 5 exotic-sand 6
