Michelle Wie back in Hawaii
Michelle Wie will be making her 2008 professional debut in Hawaii for the 5th consecutive year, but this year it will be amongst her peers as a sponsor’s exemption in The Fields Open at Ko’olina Golf Club on Oahu.
In 2007 Michelle opened her season at the PGA Tour’s Sony Open at Waialae Country Club, where she missed the cut due to a nagging wrist injury. One-year older and fully healed, Michelle hopes to put the disastrous 2007 season behind her with the help of coaching guru David Leadbetter. It’s been reported Michelle has been concentrating very hard on both her studies as a freshman at Standford as well as restructuring her golf game and rebuilding that confidence she once exuded. The final change Camp-Wie made for this 2008 season is the declining all PGA Tour sponsors and/or tournament invites and exemptions, instead concentrating solely on the women’s LPGA tournaments.
Best of luck in this 2008 campaign as it appears, to the untrained eye, you’ve made the correct off-course decisions to put yourself in a better position for the future.

Overexposed
When I took this shot the picture looked extremely over-exposed on the Nikon D40’s LCD screen. I was wonderfully surprised when I opened it on my laptop and turned out fairly decent, with the exception of that hot-spot in the fountain’s center.
Can anyone share some post-production tips on how to cleanup this photo using Photoshop Elements 2.0, or advise on how to avoid this while taking the shot.

Photo Tips: Sumedh’s One-Third Rule
Sumedh of Passerine Profoundness posted a comment on one of my earlier “Photo of the Day” post, informing me of the Rule of Thirds.
For my fellow rookie photographers out there I thought I’d save you a Google-search on the topic. This is a basic and simple rule, to change an ordinary photo into an interesting or intriguing shot place your primary subject at one of the four yellow dots as shown in the diagram above. A further in-depth description on the Rule of Thirds can be found here.

Cyrus Belt Memorial Site
The makeshift roadside memorial for toddler Cyrus Belt was reported to be the largest memorial of it’s kind in the State.
By the time we had a chance to pay our respects at Cyrus’ memorial, the State’s Department of Transportation had removed or relocated many of the flowers, stuffed animals, toys, balloons and leis left for Cyrus.
The video taken 4-days ago captures the outpouring of support and grieving by this community.
