A few weeks ago, the evening got more interesting when I received a sudden call from my good friend Steve West. Steve had a new client opportunity that was quite urgent. He was excited and determined to get the contract, and he needed myself and Takami to be models for a test shoot. 

The board was huge and heavy, the rain began to pour, and I was freezing. I began to shadow box in between each setup, so I can stay warm.

Steve West loves photography. He also loves an adventure. So no one else could have been more excited to call me up for an invitation to model as a surfer in the middle of winter. Since adventure and photography are right up my ally, there was no hesitation in my response.

Meetup is a social network that brings people with common interest together. Steve West got myself and others to meet up for our first Tokyo Creative Photography Workshop in Yoyogi Park.
