My Pecha Kucha!

As promised, here is my presentation at Pecha Kucha here in Vancouver. I was a bit nervous as I don’t normally speak in front of 500+ people and it was tricky to do it without any control over the slides but I survived!

    i have a tiny toy of that pig-in-the-pickle-car
    GOOD CHOICE!

    • 02:06:09 jeffhamada:

      where did you get the toy? i am on a mission to collect Richard Scarry’s books but never thought about the toys

      • 03:06:09 JUSSSTTTIINNNN:

        hmm ive had that toy since i was litle so im not exactly sure where i got it, but it think it might’ve been from mcDonalds~ hmm

        ohman AND i remember we had “the busy world of richard scarry” video game for the sega genesis. i miss that.

  12. 02:06:09 Corey Thompson:

    That was dope man. You dropped some knowledge.

  13. 02:06:09 nelson:

    that was great :)
    “DON’T COME TOO CLOSE” will stay with me forever.

    • 02:06:09 jeffhamada:

      i should scan in all the drawings from that one sketchbook they are hilarious

      • 02:06:09 Corey Thompson:

        I think you should do a post about your drawings from that sketchbook. It’s always nice to see work from when you were young.

  14. 02:06:09 Ann:

    jeff hamada, good man. :)

  15. 03:06:09 Corinna:

    Haha I liked that, you’re funny Jeff :)

    Your first drawings made me smile, cause some of them were very similar to mine that age..

    good job!

  16. 03:06:09 jeffhamada:

    thank you both! maybe my whole presentation shoulda been the drawings haha

    • 03:06:09 Corinna:

      the rest was great too ;)

  17. 03:06:09 Jon:

    Great stuff!

  18. 03:06:09 Phillip:

    Yeah, talented speaker. I’m glad you mentioned Denmark heh.. I believe that’s not very often that country is mentioned in the US heh..

    And funny to see the face behind this website heh..

    • 03:06:09 jeffhamada:

      im from Canada actually – the talk was here in Vancouver

  19. 03:06:09 Rebeca:

    there was a pecha kucha night in my city once, very few were as entertaining and funny as you, superb job :)

  20. 03:06:09 Cho-Wai Ben Fung:

    Hi Jeff,

    Yeah, it was a great talk. It is also great that you are honest about yourself, how you approach you work and above all you expressed the humble character that most successful people have.

    I too get nervous when I have to present.

    Good for you for helping the people in Sri Lanka to build their homes after Tsunami. You took many meaningful and beautiful photos.

    • 03:06:09 jeffhamada:

      hey thanks for the kind words Cho-wai! my trip to Sri Lanka is probably the thing im most proud of and maybe the best experience of my entire life so far. i’d like to go back there actually

  21. 04:06:09 Phillip:

    sorry.. ofcourse.. canada heh.

  22. 04:06:09 Cho-Wai Ben Fung:

    Yeah, that is a good idea.

  23. 04:06:09 Kyle:

    Nice job, this is a great video and captured the evening very well.

    Cheers!

  24. 04:06:09 emily:

    - but it has made me really want to see some of your ceramics work

  25. 04:06:09 Gretchen:

    You were pretty awesome. I think everyone who presented was nervous. Your presentation was funny and you inspired a lot of people. Cheeeesy but true!

  26. 11:06:09 Carol:

    congrats!
    PKN is a fantastic event, I’ve been to the origin place in TOKYO and had a lot fun! :)

    • 11:06:09 jeffhamada:

  27. 12:06:09 pandora:
