During the recent Chinatown New Year’s celebration in downtown Honolulu I came across a temple with burning incense and a statue.

The vibrant colors of the incense in contrast with the ashes made a great metaphor and the textures present throughout drew my attention. Taken with a Canon 40D, Canon EX-580 speedight, and a Canon 17-40 f/4L at 40mm, f4.0, and 1/250th of a sec.

Here is a promotional video from this year’s City and Council of Honolulu’s Month in Chinatown:

    I love the contrast of the bright colors with the ashes also. It doesn’t hurt that red is another favorite color of mine. :-)
