A Models Life

188

 finding more photos from my older hard drive that i totally forgot about.  whenever i’d get a job from a Japanese magazine as a photographer, i was always fortunate.  but to be able to travel to Japan and work as a photographer shooting my niece Kelia Moniz, it was a dream.   so yeah, i’d have to say i’m a pretty lucky uncle… and the support Toda-san and Takami-san have given me and my family for all these years is priceless.  i’ll never forget their generosity and kindness for the rest of my life… my foot is getting better, especially after i put some lotion on it.  so instead of lizard skin feet, now you have sexy silky man feet.  haha… i want to thank Dr. Tanaka-san, Dr. Keinosuke-san, and all the other people for the valuable information you sent to me.   i’m taking antibiotics now so hopefully things will only get better.   can’t wait to surf with all you guys when i get better. thank you again…

my friend sent me this post DJ Minoru just posted on his instagram.  funny photo of once a young surfer trying to make a living in Japan back in the 1990’s.  haha.   the model on the left is Kumi-chan and the model on the right is Malia Jones.  i actually got a pretty big paycheck for that.  getting paid to stand in between 2 beautiful girls?  i would have done it for free.  haha…
