Okay so it’s been more than a week. I’ve been busy. I am working on writing up some stories though, which will be up soon.
I love this photo. I took it on a week long river boat trip up the Mahakham river in Borneo, with my Canada World Youth group. We would dock the boat at sunset and go for a swim/bath every evening. We would watch the monkeys and multi-colored birds on the river banks as we soaped up and then jumped of the roof of the boat. I love this one because I caught my friend Marcus holding onto the side of the boat shaving…
This was from a recent two-week kayaking trip in the Pacific Northwest (San Juan islands). Amazingly beautiful place.
My friend Bryan taught me how to roll out of the kayak and get back in. Which came in handy when we found a tennis ball in the water one day and invented a new extreme sport: kayak baseball. Under normal circumstances, it’s actually quite difficult to tip over in a kayak. Except when you’re trying to catch a tennis ball while speeding along in the water. Do I hear 2010 Olympics?
Oh my god…gorgeous pictures; I’m incredibly jealous!
Great pictures! What type of camera did you use to take these pictures?
Thanks :)
@Yashar — First one was an early model Sony Cybershot. Kayak was with a Canon G9, a great little camera.
