remember i always say “things happen for a reason?” well, there was a reason why i lost my camera last week. it fell off my bumper and now i’m glad it did. why? because i just bought a new one and it is much much better. better photos, better quality, better shutter speed, and better everything. now i have a less chance of missing the shot. if i didn’t lose my old one, i would never know.

Abe-san and Yuta-kun. ready for another hawaiian surf session.

when ever i see father/son, mother/daughter, husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, samurai/geisha, or any family members surfing together, i get really happy. i know it just creates a bond that is unbreakable.

Yuka-kun’s second surf session. great balance, great style, and great surfer.

Abe-san getting better and better each time. better balance, better body, and better surfing.

and if you thought my job is safe, you’re wrong. try organizing a crazy surfer frenzy lineup where most of the people surf like fools. you have to watch forward, sideward, and reverse before letting your important guest ride the wave of his life. i see a lot of people get hurt for no reason. i just shake my head. safety is always my top priority. please surf safe everyone.

Ima!
