Miller Street Memorial from hawaii on Vimeo. On Jan. 17, 2008, 23-month-old Cyrus Belt was killed when a neighbor threw him from a bridge onto the H-1 freeway. The city of Honolulu was united in grief over the horrific murder of the young boy, whose all-too-brief and troubled life has since become the focus of intense scrutiny and debate. While some people scramble to assign blame, hundreds of others have quietly convened every day at the spot where Cyrus Belt was killed. While some people are picking apart the people in his life, hundreds of strangers are simply moved by his tragic death, building a remarkable makeshift memorial of flowers, balloons, toys, letters, and other offerings. The sprawling shrine to the toddler at the Miller Street pedestrian bridge has grown so large, local transportation officials are struggling to balance Honolulu's need to mourn with the safety of nearby residents and passing motorists. These video clips were recorded on Tuesday, January 22, 2008.The above is the embedded video player from Vimeo, one of the only online video hosts to serve up HD content.

Hilo Takeoff from hawaii on Vimeo. Departing Hilo International Airport (ITO) aboard go! Airlines flight 1039 on Wed., Jan. 2, 2008. It's an unusually clear day for the often gray and wet east side of the Big Island. Despite a dirty window and the glare of the sun, the view of the Hamakua Coast and Mauna Kea is impressive.

Imiloa Astronomy Center from hawaii on Vimeo. A visit to the fantastic Imiloa Astronomy Center at the University of Hawaii at Hilo on the Big Island. The center emphasizes both astronomy and Hawaiian culture, and notably uses the Hawaiian language throughout. The low-light conditions definitely put the Xacti HD700 to the test. I could have bumped up the ISO to bring out a little more detail, but I was curious to see what the basic settings would produce. Of course, when we headed into the nearly pitch-black planetarium, the show was over. The above is the embedded video player from Vimeo, one of the only online video hosts to serve up HD content.
