If you have any questions about my techniques, gear, etc. don't hesitate to ask, I try to be an open book. However, don't be disappointed if I simply link you to a flickr group discussion or a informational website. There are so many resources out there for the people who are hungry for knowledge and willing to do some digging.

Testimonials

rob_fuel says:
"Niimo's stream is a constant source of inspiration and heartache for me. Inspiration because he takes amazing photos with amazing gear. His film work is particularly captivating. (It also helps that we both love shooting wide open.) The heartache comes from seeing the vistas that he's so familiar with in Hawaii. His excellence in capturing the beauty around him only makes it worse for me."

distortion photographik says:
"Niimo is an Hawaii insider with the ability to place himself outside of the scene, and capture the details within it that many locals have forgotten, or no longer appreciate. His experimentation with multiple types of cameras and film lead to an amazingly wonderful, and diverse portfolio. Keep churning them out Niimo, love the work!"

.. Phlatphrog .. says:
"This guy has good taste in cameras. Which is to say, we have some nearly identical equipment. Anybody who thinks like me has got to be special."

Xapa says:
"Niimo is such an amazing photographer with real talent. His work is brilliant and taste flawless. I'm very inspired and motivated by his photos. Plus he's so fun, and SEXY! :)"

drdrewhonolulu says:
"Niimo is one of Hawaii's Flickr treasures. He captures the love and humor of Oahu life. His Yashicas do a great job of capturing, and spreading da Aloha. Mahalo!"
