Wow! Fun wave!

last time i was in okinawa, i took a few photos and finally downloaded it. here is a fish eye shot of Maeda Point going left. Aoi taking off on the other side of the barrel.

Kazuma underwater pulling in! i love photos like this!

Kimura-san and Kazubo-san checking out the waves! locals only!

Hawaiian photographer Josh getting the shots.

Hayato and Kimura-san analyzing the waves.

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!

BIGFOOT! Wow! Big!
