level of tcchnical knowledge thcy're gaining thror"rgh the program is impressive," Reiny says. "They're going to have plenty of options when they graduate ." Reiny hinlself has given up the n.ricropholle fbr the pen: A 2010 graduatc of UC Bcrkeley's School of Jottrnalism, he studied long-tbrnl writing with noted food writer Michael Pollan. The Wai'auac, O'ahu nativc says retttrning horrre fclt natural: "Therc's so much happcning in Hawai'i that people sl.rotrld know zrbottt. I feel responsiblc fbr sharing sonlc of those stories."
"Growing up in Hawai'i, I thought I knew

thing or twtl
about kirn chee." says Dave Choo, who wrote "Deep Kint Chee" in this issue. "l ate it all the time and I loved it. But then I attended tlre Korean Festival in Kapi'olani Park several years ago, and I saw this guy sitting on the stcps of the barrdstand, wolfing down a kul bi and kirn chee plate lunch. No rice. no rnac salad, just equal portions of tleat ancl lava-red won bok. If tlat was kit-n chec, it nlade trlc wotlder what I'd been eating." Whilc rescarching and writing this story, Choo, a fburth-genel'ittiotr Kot'ean Anlcrican. learned about the fbod's unusrtal evcllution in the Islands. "ln just a generation," hc says. "the carly Koreatl cotrll-uttnity ancl its kim

have phoktgraphed'lolani Palacc sevcral times' and what most inspires mc whcn I first step insidc is thc quality of light," says Dana Edmunds, whose photos docurnent the palace's rcnovatiot-t in "The Restol'atiol-r" for this isstle. "Every window in roorus with such high ceilings yields beautifirl directional light. The irony is that'lolani Palace was the first building in Hawai'i to have electricity. bttt in photographing the palace, I don't need electricity fbr artificial light at all." Dana is an acclaimccl photographer who lives in Lanikai, O'ahr,r, and shoots for a varicty of editolial ancl advertisirrg clients. He is a regular contributor to Hana Hou!

"l got to watch an award-winning local barista make the perf-ect latte, starl to finish-frorn the precisely prcssed coffee grounds to the intricate design work in thc fbarn. I tried to capture Licata's dedication to this crafi." Matt is an editorial and comnrercial photographer based in llawai'i and a frequent contributor to Httnu Hou !
