Now, I am entering a new phase, as a producer/director/cinematographer/sound-mixer/editor. It's a lot of do with not a lot of time!

Started something called "Our History Moves You, Inc." It's a nonprofit, IRS 501(c)(3) California Charitable Corporation that is documenting what I call, "Discovered Histories" To illustrate this term or theme-- think of the Film "Hidden Figures" that was about black women who were key to the survivability of the US Astronauts in the early years of the space program. That is "Discovered History!" It wasn't known and publicized. But we are all the better to know who these people are and their stories!

We're doing this in 8k 60fps, which is what I consider "Future Forward" media technologies.

My Motto is, "We're starting out small, but we're Dreaming Big and Shooting Big Pictures."

What better way than to start with the Biggest Steam Locomotive ever built in the world... The BIG BOYS-- which ran in the Wasatch Range between Salt Lake City Utah and Cheyenne Wyoming. I've been chasing UP 4014 since it left California ferried by diesels, and she came back under her own power.

So it's been a lot of change and pain... BUT i am nearing 50,000 views!!

------From 5 years ago------

I just past 10,000 views in 4 years on Flickr!!

I am very happy that people still are interested in my photos. Thank you all-- the people who have given me 7000 views over the last 3 years! And now up to 10,000 views in 1 year!

I just opened a twitter account: @CHOgawaPhotos, and my email is CHOgawaphotography@yahoo.com

About me:

I have worked as an Engineer for number of years in Los Angeles in the TV Broadcast, Network Audio Industry.

I was humbled when I recently won 3rd prize for Best Picture of 2009 at theaperturelight.org website, for "low angle of Grand Prismatic Pool" of Yellowstone, WY.

I learned photography in high school. Then in college, was the chief photographer for my college newspaper, the Cal-State Long Beach Union Daily. I have shot for Time Magazine, Starlog, and LA Times as freelance photographer.

Please enjoy the imagery of nearly 35 years of shooting.
