These pictures were send in from Bagram Afghanistan. Some people left some food out overnight and had a surprise in the morning when they came into work.

I got an invitation from Robert La Follette to shoot some video on one of his photo shoot workshops on Clearwater Beach Florida.
Crystal, Lindsay, and Nikki puts on a show for the beach goers.

This dude got so tired of taking the car to the mall, he took his plane. I just happened to be in the area when he made his emergency landing! Plan crash St. Petersburg Florida….

With no big plans for my birthday, I wanted to hang out with Rob and a couple friends at Jimmy B’s Beach Bar in St. Pete Florida.

So after cruising around Thailand and Philippines for a couple months, I finally made it back home to Clearwater Florida to hang out with some friends to hear Rob jammin at Crabby Bills. I should be in town for another week or so then back to work (hopefully)…… I miss “the island” already.

I found some pictures of Pocahontas (locally known as Barbie) and a few others in Cocomangas, Boracay Philippines.

This is one of the underground sites to see while visiting Boracay Philippines.

I ran video and shot some pictures throughout my travels in Thailand. Flying into Bangkok from Philippines, I met up with Rocky and took the hour taxi ride to Pattaya to grab some gear. Back to Bangkok and a flight to Phuket started everything off. With no set plans, everything was setup thru facebook and text messages with very last minute planning. Being in Thailand made it so easy to not even have a schedule.Bad storms prevented us from getting any diving done or any tourist stuff happening.

From Patong Beach in Phuket, we took off to Koh Samui in a 4 hour taxi ride across the country. During the travels, we stopped by 7-11 for some drinks and snacks, I grabbed a hot dog and some Gatorade and something for the taxi man. No big deal right? That hog dog got my ass sick for a solid 24 hours. So I’m in Koh Samui ejecting hot dog from both ends of my body 10 minutes after check in. Shit. 11am we are on another fast boat to Koh Tao.

Wat Pho was built as a restoration of an earlier temple on the same site, Wat Phodharam, with work beginning in 1788. It was restored and extended in the reign of King Rama III (1824-51), and restored again in 1982. Wat Pho is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. Even prior to the temple’s founding, the site was a center of education for traditional Thai medicine, and statues were created showing yoga positions.

So after years of looking around to get ideas of designs, I have the basic designed now on skin. This is part one of three. Next is to add some smoke and water to flare it out more then some accented colors. It’s going to be pretty nice in the end… if it ever ends!!!! LOL

After meeting a few people on Koh Tao Thailand at the dive shops and pubs, I had to check out the Muay Thai training camp there. I can really see myself getting into this training program. It’s an outdoor facility not too far from the diveshops and beach. The training is pretty hard core outdoor training. Such an awesome training environment.
