i dont lie when i say i would do anything to get a great shot. with that said ive pretty much shot in some outrageous weather. extremely cold, extremely hot, wet, freezing - you name it. the video below is a perfect testament of it. sure the beaches of south africa are one of the best ive seen (and ive seen a whole lot), but the water is just FRIGID! i dont think i can stand with my feet in the water for more than 30 seconds. any longer than that and i'd get hypothermia. okay maybe im over exagerating a little bit (that and maybe i dont have enough bodyfat in me to stay warm long enough) because this place is also a surf haven. but the point is, this shoot required me to be IN the water for a long time. as you can see, there were times when i was actually submerged completely. man, thinking about that moment gives me shivers, but it was all worth it, as i did get real money shots !
with photographer carien kuhn and her wacko assistant.
he made my day by taking these behind the scene photos and videos !
sad to say, i did get sick after this and had put me out of commission for a couple of days.
but needless to say, my time wasnt wasted since i was able to catch up on correspondence and catch up on sleep. otherwise i'd still be up partying all day, everyday.
below are photos of the beautiful view at camps bay beach, where the water is apparently "warmer". yea right. as you may notice, ive also lost a lot of weight at this point. no rice and frequent visit to the gym does that to you. i offset it with intense amount of alcohol though, so it's all good :)

(i normally dont do sexy, so this is something new for my book)
