Lovely photo show. Did the jumper really clear the rocks or is your next show going under the name of "splat"?
How and where did you ever get the daytime shot of the octopus?
Aloha,
Walt, Kauai

The jumper landed in water just fine and in Hawaii, we can always find octopus hiding along the reef…thanks for checking out my photo feature.

Hello! I was wondering if you would give me permission to use one of your photos as reference for a painting? The one I am interested in using is 'Into the Blue' :thumb273942955:
I would not copy the picture exactly in every detail, but it would be very obvious I referenced the shot. Your photography is very beautiful! Whether your answer is yes or no please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

SICk-4rt [2013-01-04 07:41:48 +0000 UTC]
Where you reside in Hawaii, I think to visit this paradise in the fall if I raised enough money, is there any hostels where it reasonably priced and can be remain a long time without taking a return ticket??
There may be two others who joindrais to me the cheapest but we may be able to have as much fun for an indefinite time is it possible that I can tell??
thank you in advance for your information that may be useful
