Zen Camera Photography

The art of photography calls for immersion in the moment -- what is it about that instant of time that makes you want to preserve it?     David Ulrich has been teaching photography for decades, and sees the quest for that immersion in the moment as a kind of spiritual practice.
Intro Music: Things Have Changed by Bettye LaVette

Outro Music: Black Balloons by Local Natives

Civil Beat Reality Check

Nearly 4,000 Hawaii kidney disease patients on are being kept alive by dialysis. Their access to the critical care they need is falling victim to bureaucracy, however, as the State lags behind on the required certification of dialysis centers.

A program called Safe on Scene, which works with the Honolulu Police Department as it responds to domestic violence calls, is extending its helping hand to the west side of Oahu. The program sends a victim advocate to talk to people on-scene.

Restaurant Tip Pooling

When you leave a tip at a restaurant, who gets the money?   Is it shared equally among wait staff and so-called back-of-the-house workers?   We asked Clayton Kamida, President and CEO of the Hawaii Employers’ Council, to explain how tip pooling works today and explain why the Council wants the rules that govern tip-pooling changed.   

Intro Music: People Everywhere (Still Alive) by Khruangbin

Outro Music: Typical by Nightmares on Wax
