Hawaii Skin Diver: Okinawa

144

i was very grateful for Hawaii Skin Diver magazine to publish photos i took for their cover.  i actually got 3 cover shots that i  took.  this one was was 2008 in Okinawa.  we went hunting for big dogtooth tuna and the trip was successful.  here is Kevin with a beauty!  behind this fish is a very exciting story that i will get into later.  but for now, it’s 7pm and past my bedtime.  haha.

my email mailbox is FULL!  over 30,000 emails that i have to delete so i’m going one by one to make sure i don’t delete something i want to cherish.  Mayuki was custom made by hand so the guys building it would send me photos of the process.  she was beautiful from the start!

it took 6 long months to build her from scratch.  i was waiting very patiently and when she was finished, everything was as perfect as can be.  i never thought in my life that i would fall in love with fiberglass.  haha…
