and this is my best shot of the trip. i see Hayato’s daughter Karen paddling out to Maeda so i follow her with my camera. i try to take photos of her but she doesn’t like it. she keeps on looking the other way and telling me to stop. but no, i’m a photographer and my job is to get the photo so i keep trying. she’s mad at me, but i keep trying. finally she starts splashing me with water and that’s when i get this lucky shot. i love it! Karen is such a cutie!
