808 Urban Mural on King St.

These is a huge mural on King St. right across the original Zippys. It is just awesome, the colors are great, the artwork fantastic. The mural depicts an evil Hawaiian god, who's name I forgot, reigning over the ocean and all the trash floating and sitting on the bottom. John Hina of 808 Urban creates incredible murals all over the island. He also tries to stop kids from tagging and directing their effort to mural creation. He also volunteer at youth corrections. He is a good guy.

Techie stuff: Nikon D300 with 14-24mm f/2.8 lens, aperture shooting mode, aperture f/8, ISO 200, spot metering, vivid picture control and +EV when shooting into the sun.

Wow.. you found Jalna's 'wall'!! I had no idea that many are involved on it and all the paint..There's sure a lot of vibrant colors used. I really have got to stop by and take a look one day.
