Why Optical Zoom Matters (Kodak Blog, February 21, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. Looking for a new digital camera?  What features are you looking for?  Many users and reviewers are quick to look at features such as resolution, LCD size, camera type (compact, ultra compact, full body, SLR) and price.  Other features […]

DIY Skateboard (Kodak Blog, January 25, 2007)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. As Diedra (another Kodak blogger) noted in her recent blog entry on home remodeling, digital photography is a great way to document the process and progress of those “do-it-yourself” (aka DIY) projects.  This past Christmas I thought it would […]

Family Tradition and Culture (Kodak Blog, December 28, 2006)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. In Japan, New Year’s Day is a big holiday – a time for family to gather together and to start the new year off right.  As a Japanese American, I still celebrate New Year’s Day with a traditional Japanese […]

Handmade Christmas Ornaments (Kodak Blog, December 7, 2006)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. I guess you could say that I have been making Christmas ornaments since I was about 5 or 6 years old.  Here is a fine example of one of my earlier works, which is still placed on the tree […]

Aloha from Hawaii (Kodak Blog, November 16, 2006)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. I used to go on vacation, take lots of pictures, buy some postcards and send them to friends and family. Last week, when I was on vacation in Hawaii, I still took lots of pictures, but the “postcards” I […]

Photo Guest Book & Photo Favors (Kodak Blog, October 26, 2006)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. A Photo Guest Book is a great way to remember a special party or gathering such as a rehearsal dinner, house warming party, costume party, baby shower, etc. The result is a wonderful memory book – it’s like real-time […]

Closer Close-Ups (Kodak Blog, October 5, 2006)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. One of the things that I love about digital photography is the ease in taking closer close-ups and the ability to zoom in on some of the wonders of nature. Most digital cameras today have a “macro” mode, which […]

Digital Action Shots (Kodak Blog, September 14, 2006)

NOTE: This is a “reprint” of my blog post to Kodak’s previous “A Thousand Words” blog. There’s something mesmerizing and often delightful about being able to freeze an action moment in time – that split second moment that even your brain can hardly recall. How much “air” can you really catch on a bike or […]
