KOZ Photo Contest: Yes, it's back, the Family and Friends Photo Contest.

How you all doing?
This contest is partly to sharpen our photography skills and mostly to connect with family and friends. So if you're reading this, you're special to us.

In this holiday iteration we're going for multiple contests.

I figured I could catch every one with a little extra time and maybe a feeling for connecting to family during this holiday season.

So grab a glass of whatever you use to celebrate and connect by judging and commenting on our photos. Relax, have fun.

I was very impressed when photographers started submitting their pics. Proud even. Missy, Lila, Alyce, Colin and I have all submitted photographs and your gift to us during this holiday is simply to vote on which photo you think is best in each category. If you are feeling really generous we'd love comments - even if that's just one word or phrase about each photo.

Judging/voting options:

1) In the "comments" below vote for whatever photo you think is best in each contest.

2) Get a piece of paper and go around to everyone at your gathering (if you don't have anyone at your gathering, come to ours) and write down their answers and comments. Show the photos on your phone, tablet, laptop or (best) even your TV. You could transcribe that info into the "comments." Or take a photo of your list with your phone and text (808-223-0309) or email (kozhawaii@gmail.com) it to me.

Be creative.

Just get it back to me before the end of the year. On New Years Day check back and you'll learn who took what photos and who won best in each category

Thank you for the gift and Happy Holidays.
