Since joining the Eyes of Hawaii photography club in Honolulu, several people were asking me about what it was like to live in Ecuador. Being a photography club, I decided the best way to explain it was by creating a slide show / video for them.

In looking over our photographic resources from our living there for 8 years, it became clear that there was more to be told than would fit in any reasonable length video. I therefore decided to split the topic into two videos.

This is the first of those two videos, and shows the numerous festivals that we attended in Ecuador while living there. This was well received when shown at the Eyes of Hawaii meeting, and I think it does a fairly good job of giving the sense of the atmosphere of these numerous festivals.

Please join me for the next 18 minutes, as you experience the Festivals in Ecuador:
