I dunno how I did it, but I really lucked out with this gig. It was an extremely last minute thing, but I ended up being able to go to Kenya on my most recent photoshoot. When I say last minute, I really mean last minute, I actually had to get a yellow fever shot that I was confirmed for the job day so that I would be able to go, since you need to have the shot in your system for a couple days prior so that it can mutate or do some crazy things in your system. Because of how fast this all came together, not too many people knew that I was even going, they just found out via my twitter , voicemail, or my away messeage on my email. This included my own mom. Which I think I kind of do subconsciously to torture her. I’m not a bad son, I just like to relay information now to people via photo postcard now, because I think its pretty funny to hear people freak out on my voice mail when I send them pictures of my adventures with Lions or Pyramids and things like that.
This really one of my more demanding shoots, and I was really fortunate to have a really solid crew to work with on this one. One good thing about having a crew with me means that I get tons of extra photos, I’m way too stressed out when I’m on jobs like this to take photos for fun, so I end up not shooting anything, but what is needed for the job. So photos like the sweet one of me below dressed up as if Han Solo went on safari would be just a fond memory, or a fashion nightmare. I really have to thank my guide/babysitter Elphas, and Micato safaris because without them, I would totally be lost somewhere in the jungle. I’ll have way more for you all next week,
hugs and kisses
