Kenji Sawara….

221


ohayo gozaimasu… i’ve known kenji sahara for a long long time. we’ve been on trips together and i’ve worked with him a lot. what impressed me the most on our last mentawai trip was kenji worked so hard. he was shooting from morning to night. rain or shine. i was impressed and at the same time really happy to see him work so hard. i understand how hard it is to shoot from the water swimming for hours, and to shoot from the dingy in the hot baking sun. both hard and both taxing on your body. kenji didn’t complain once and did a great job. just wait till you see the photos. when i saw them, i was super stoked. and so was everybody else on that trip. i’d say that kenji took one of the best water shots in my life. if you connect with kenji sahara, you will get the best shot of your life too…. thanks kenji….

and for some weird reason, kenji always takes my camera without asking and takes photos of himself. there were 14 photos he took on the boat this night of himself that all looked like this. i guess it was too much jacksan for him… haha…
