Funny Surf Session

412


first. that mystery girl i shot modeling photos yesterday was alyssa wooten. really photogenic, really energetic, and really determined. we shot for 1 hour and the images i have are freaking amazing! some can be used for a fashion magazine, some can be used for sports illustrated swimsuit issue, and some are so good that i don’t even want to show anybody. stay tuned because these photos will be somewhere, sometime, soon.
second. wanted to thank all of you who sent me files of my new business card. i woke up yesterday morning and was overwhelmed by all the emails. i wish i can use them all but that’s impossible so what i decided to do was to choose the first email i received and it happened to be from my long time friend bobby higa. thanks bobby for helping me out. and thank you to everybody who sent emails. i really really appreciate it!
third. want to hear a funny story? i knew i was going out to bowls for a 4 hour session so i wore a tshirt, a hat, and sunglasses to protect my over burnt body and eyes. nobody knew it was me and i couldn’t even recognize myself. anyway, i see alyssa wooten out on her longboard. she looked at me and kept looking because i probably looked familiar. i made a mad face and looked away. laughing so hard inside because i knew i had her tricked. then i start whistling to her, then looking away. then i splashed water at her and looked away. i had to look away because i was laughing so hard. she started getting mad and i loved it. she took off on the next wave and paddled by her and kicked water in her face. we surfed together for over 1 hour and she didn’t even know it was me. she went in and until now, she must be thinking who that creepy guy was yesterday. it was the funniest surf sessions i had in a while. hahah… sorry alyssa.
