Ok, so I haven't blogged in a LONG time

Dealing with a bunch of stuff but that's besides the point.

We now have a new Narcissus Queen and Court and this is my 33rd year (or thereabouts) with the Pageant.

The new Queen is Catherine Wong Jayne. Her Princesses are from left, Theresa Lu (3rd Princess), Jacklyn Ma (1st Princess), Leilani Soon (2nd Princess) and Chantel Ching (4th Princess). The official portraits have been taken and I'm just waiting for them to decide which one they want for next year's souvenir book.

I've also been involved with archiving 59 years of Narcissus Souvenir programs. Had to go down to the Chinese Chamber offices and scan 59 books, 59 Queen portraits, and about half of the contestants (those we didn't have posters for). Then those scans were compiled into posters and display pieces to be exhibited at the Narcissus Coronation Ball at the end of the month. I'll post some of the images after the Ball is over.

I also needed to get off this rock (Oahu) so I went to another rock (Kauai) for a day. Visited a photographer friend there (Herbie's photography) and he and I secured a model and went on a photoshoot.

The model is Gena from Hanalei and we all got wet. I was sitting on the sand doing some low level shots when a gentle wave came in and managed to douse me (camera remained dry).

This is to prove to Herbie's wife that he was working. LOL!

Back to work for me. Hopefully the pinched nerve in my back will resolve itself soon...
