this was the 3rd cover shot i took for Hawaii Skin Diver magazine. KB just shot this huge fish and when he took it back to the boat, i followed him with my fisheye lens. this is personally one of my favorite shots ever. very natural and no posing. this was March 2011 in Palau. i get chills thinking about this trip because we were in the water when the earthquake hit Japan, which changed many lives forever…
the other day on Oahu, i saw one of the Uncles from Molokai at the Yacht Club. he said “hey Kirby, when you coming back home?” i had tears in my eyes because of his kindness. it’s unbelievable how welcomed i felt. i want to go back already!!!
