Earthquake in Hawaii picturesAdvanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 14 image entries
Contest Directions:  [ Hawaii was shaken by a strong earthquake this Sunday. Even though there were no victims, the last Hawaiian earthquake this strong (magnitude of 6.5) struck more than 20 years ago. ]
I've never been to Hawaii (nor have I been anywhere else), but it looks like it's not a good time to visit. There are several things to keep in mind though, if you want to live like a true Hawaiian:
You measure the water for the rice by the knuckle of your index finger.
Your only suit is a bathing suit.
You are barefoot in most of your elementary school pictures.
You drive barefoot too.
You honk your horn only once a year during the safety check.
You have a sister, cousin, auntie, or mom named "Honey Girl" or...
You do not understand the concept of North, South, East, and West, but instead give directions as
Mauka, Makai, Diamond Head, Ewa, and use landmarks instead of street names.
Hawaii or Havaii? Havaii. Thanks! You're velcome!

I'm almost done adjusting my lifestyle to the Hawaiian list above. Which means I am almost ready for a visit. Earthquakes got nothing on me - I survived the highway patrol catching me driving barefoot in my bathing suit, dammit. And I'll let you figure out what "barefoot" means as my bathing suit is my birthday suit.
In this contest you are asked to photoshop anything connected to the earthquake in Hawaii. Examples could be new Hawaiian tourism adverts, magazine covers, creative ways and devices to cope with Hawaiian earthquake, etc.

| This contest is fueled by the following news: |
| | On Sunday, the state of Hawaii was shook by a very strong earthquake. Residents were jolted from their beds and a landslide ended up blocking a major highway. Many guests in hotels and patients in hospitals had to be evacuated. The aftershocks kept Hawaii and its residents on edge. Linda Lingle, the governor of Hawaii, issued a disaster declaration for her state. She remarked on the damage sustained by roads and buildings. As of press time, there were not reports of any fatalities. Several minor injuries were reported in the aftermath of the earthquake. The earthquake actually struck at 7:07 a.m. local time. It struck 10 miles north of Kailua Kona, which is located on the west coast of the Big Island, the island of Hawaii itself. The earthquake did prompt fears of a tsunami, which did not occur. As many as 3,000 people were evacuated from hotels as a result of the earthquake. Some hotels were damaged. The last earthquake this strong occurred in Hawaii some 20 years ago. A 6.1 magnitude earthquake, not as strong as Sunday's 6.6. earthquake, occurred in 1989. |
