I was a 3D animation intern in Honolulu in summer 1994 and then back again as a contractor in fall/winter 1996/97. Going on a walk now through my old neighborhood, Manoa Valley. Here’s the view of Waikiki from just up the street from my old apartment.
And here’s the residence I lived in when an intern in summer 1994. The building is a cylinder and our rooms were wedges. It had a great view of Waikiki in the distance.
I was part of a great cohort and had a great summer out in and out of the office.❤️
