BEHIND THE LENS HAWAII 2011

Still adjusting to the mainland time from a grand getaway on Honolulu with the fam. We usually get the beach view every visit but decided to enjoy the fireworks, Luau, and Lagoon view this time around at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Always great hospitality in this village resort plus its perfect if you have kids. Beach life...so chill. More pics coming soon!

ELEMENT

Japan was recently struck by an 8.9 earthquake on 03.11.11. A Tsunami lead right after causing Black Water to bleed into the streets damaging everything in it's path creating mass floods. Many suffer and the death toll still rises by the thousands. Silence for Japan.

RETNA HIEROGLYPHICS

I was able to take pics of LA based writer/ street artist RETNA. He made his mark within garage level B3 inside the newly built Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas. "Wallworks Project" allowed artists such as Baltimore’s Shinique Smith, legendary New York artist Kenny Scharf, RETNA, and renegade-turned-icon Shepard Fairey paint the walls of the garage...all with different themes.

RETNA's unique style looks ancient but with a modern day feel to it. I can't make out the words but his artwork and symbols catch my attention. He was recently featured and had a solo exhibition of his work during NYC Fashion week in February 2011 at the "Hallelujah World Tour". I wouldn't mind his pieces to fill up a massive wall that I'll own one day. Keep doing your thing RETNA!!

Hieroglyphics translation from Spanish to English:
We are the children of the stonecutters, the scribes
We stand on the line for finding our culture, breaking barriers
If you ride with me, I won’t leave your side
For years I wrote my name on the wall
I’m going to write you a letter from my street sounds
We look for the queens of an old time
We are the vagrants who have survived
For years I broke the law to find I lost my mind
The time has come for me to regain my consciousness standing on my feet
There will be days when my letters will light the path
Into my afterlife of my father until the end of time -RETNA

Came across this picture on a wall this past weekend and thought it was an interesting photo to post.
