ALLIO PHOTO WORKSHOPS ON HAWAII’S BEST ISLAND
LIHUE HI - The Garden Island of Kauai was named as Hawaii’s Best Island in
the 2006 Reader’s Survey of World’s Best Islands by Travel + Leisure
magazine. Kauai’s tropical splendor makes the island a must-see
destination for both amateur and professional photographers.
“This respected reader’s poll is more confirmation that Kauai is a
wonderful place for scenic travel photography,” David Allio, a three-decade
professional award-winning photographer and workshop instructor, said. “I
am privileged to be able to present exclusive photography workshops in one
of the world’s most beautiful locations.”
David Allio offers both private tutorial sessions and monthly photography
workshops for a limited number of advanced amateur and professional
photographers. Special group sessions and tour packages are available to
camera clubs, guilds and societies. The workshops include travel to select
scenic and historic locations, technical worksheets that relate to specific
island photo opportunities, and a list of must-see-and-photograph
destinations on the World’s Best Hawaiian Island.
Kauai finished ahead of the Hawaiian island of Maui and in second position
worldwide behind the island of Bali in the annual T+L reader’s popularity
poll. The big island of Hawaii also cracked the top ten in the annual ranking.

Digital Photo Recovery Service

From an e-mail I received:
We have recently started a program where we are offering camera club members a 10% discount on our services. We recover lost data from digital media. With more photographers using digital cameras there has been a rise in lost images. Photographers don’t need to panic when they think their images have vanished. Not all data is recoverable but we offer no charge, no
obligation, diagnostics to determine if the data is recoverable.
All members need to do is mention the club they belong to and we’ll provide the discount.
You can find information about our services by visiting this page:
