Now it can be told...
So I started to work with my old friends at Monster again last week. As longtime followers of the blog know, I've been doing all kinds of different media projects in the last few years as a way to keep myself challenged and to continue to add experiences to my list. After the success of the Grenade Games last spring, Monster was nice enough to have me back to work on through the Olympic year. Which brings me to this event. I'm afraid that I can't give anything away yet because details are being pounded out as we speak, but suffice it to say, for all the people who can't afford, or don't want to attend the Olympics, we're going to make sure that there is an event you can get stoked on at the same time.
Stay tuned for details, this one is going to be good.
Oh ya, and then I'll be working on Grenade Games 6 too. My liver hurts already.
Also. I've been taking pictures of the buildings on my walk to and from the Monster Office for a long time now. Eventually the plan is to have photos of every building on the west side of Main, from Alexander to the viaduct, in all sorts of different media (35mm film, digital, large format, paint, whatever) and line em all up on a white wall somewhere so you can experience my walk to work. I'm hoping to get it done some time in 2010. I've been posting a bunch of stuff on flickr lately too. Weird.

Back from Maui, on to the real world.
Back from my trip to Maui to celebrate my one year
anniversary. We had a great 10 days in the sun and
spent most of it underwater with our friends Gabe
and Sarah. The highlight of the week, aside from
the obvious milestone of the first year of
marriage, was spending 15 minutes around 85 feet
underwater with 30 foot long whale shark. This is
the biggest fish in the ocean and for most of us, a
once in a lifetime experience. Having spent a bunch
of time in Utila, my wife T had
snorkeled with Whale Sharks on numerous
occasions, but to be deep underwater with one,
and have it hang around, is rare and we are
still amazed by our luck. I didn't have an
underwater camera rig on this trip so you'll
have to settle for the flickr group that was taken
by our divemaster Joe. Thanks to Ed Robinson's dive
operation, this is the second year we've done
our boat dives with them and they are a solid
operation with great people. We did around a
dozen shore dives over the course of the week
too, and we rented our tanks from B & B scuba in Kihei.
They're a really great shop and nice people
who took care of us last year and again this
year.
For my scuba geek friends, you'll be stoked that we saw over a dozen different nudibranchs, some of which are unnamed and still unknown, eagle rays, more turtles than you could count, huge and tiny scorpionish, devil, leaf, and more, tons of frogfish, one of them even freeswimming, lots of whitetip sharks and some grey reef sharks, that I missed but everyone else saw, tons of different eels including dwarf, whitemouth, yellow margin, zebra and tiger moray, and just about every tropical fish you can imagine.
Here are some shots from the trip.
