What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food?
I Eye Of The Beholder
n my 38 years with MidWeek, one of the things that I’m truly grateful for is that I’ve worked with some really talented photographers. Our publications have
been the living proof of that and photography is a skill that I wish I learned.
Seems that with cameras built into our mobile phones, everyone is a “photographer.” Sure, good equipment is half the battle and camera phones are quite advanced, but photog- raphy in my mind is about subject, lighting and composition.

“A good green bean casserole with some stuffing.”
JENNIFER LAU
Contract Specialist, Honolulu
“This is not a traditional Thanksgiving dish, but
I would say harumaki,
or Japanese spring rolls. It’s the one time of the year that we make it and it reminds me of my childhood.”
RICHIE NINO
Vice President of Sales and International Operations, Honolulu
“I love lechon de leche (roasted piglet), the kind you can cut with a plate. It’s a new dish I started to cook for Thanksgiving.”
CASSIE MORRIS
Graphic Designer/Marketing Coordinator, Kāne‘ohe “Sweet potato casserole with marshmallows.
It only tastes good on Thanksgiving.”
Social media has created instant celebrities out of peo- ple who happen to be physically attractive. That’s not a bad thing, but for me personally, an Instagram account of just sel- fies of yourself is kind of boring no matter how good you may
look. I’m sure their vast numbers of followers would disagree.

I tend to take and collect pho- tos of things I find unusual or thought-provoking. I will see something and if it evokes some kind of emotion in me, good or bad, I will add it to my collection.

D Lots Of Luck
o you believe there is such a thing as luck? Did you ever look at someone and think, “Wow, that person is so lucky!”
I did, because I truly believed that I was born un- lucky. Fortunately, a decade or so ago, I came across scientific research that showed that luck in life is equally available to everyone. Researchers found that those who keep an open mind, look for the positive side of things and do things out of the ordinary each week greatly increase their luck. In fact, 100% of the people that went to “luck school” (a cohort that prac- ticed luck habits) changed their luck.
So, how do you start? Choose a more positive per- spective, be truly open and break out of your calcified routines.

Here are some of those photos. Don’t judge me, but see what kind of emotion they evoke within you. By the way, none of these are Photo- shopped. The top photo (1) was recently taken by a friend of mine at a charity fund- raiser. Note the heart flame. Is that 3 a“like”?Therestweretakenby me and I’ve since named them. They are: Recycled Dream (2), Night Light (3), Green (4) and
