This was just for fun! I love southern California because I can go to the beach during the winter in shorts and a tank top. This was a quick but awesome shoot, loved it!

I photographed this Tokyo on Wednesday night.

I edited the session Tuesday morning.

I brought the photos along with Xander to his agency Tuesday at noon.

After we gave his agency the photos we just sat there in suspense. The person I give the photos to leaves the room shortly after I give him the photos, and we’re both just sitting there wondering if that was a good thing or bad thing. I honestly was thinking bad thing.

But before I had time to react, he comes back in the room with two bottles of ice tea and then tells us how much he likes the photos. I’m then quickly presented with a free t-shirt and a whole catalog of all the other models. Suddenly the entire agency is present at the table, and I told I’m able to photograph any of their models that I wanted, and then asked when I was coming back to Tokyo to shoot again.

Flabbergasted. I never get to use that word, but it’s the perfect word to describe how Xander and I felt, because the reaction we got was not what we expected. So…

It looks like I’m going back to Tokyo Oh, and I’m naming the whole series “The traveler”
