Last weekend I was asked to do a photo shoot for Ask A Ninja (www.askaninja.com). It was going to be a very frightening and exciting photo shoot. I was given special instructions to “just shoot” and the Ninja would appear and disappear in front of my camera for every shot. I had trouble believing this was possible so I tried shooting up in the air and this is what I got:
Well, I was a believer then! There really was nothing in the air before and after I shot that photograph!!!
I also realized I was either killed just then when I took that photograph or almost killed. I still don’t know right now if I’m dead or not; I mean I got really scared. You can’t imagine how fast ninjas… no matter what you can’t imagine their speed.
So after realizing I was dead or almost dead, I continued to shoot and we got some amazing photographs. This is one of my favorites, just know if you ever see this in real life, it will be the last thing you ever see.
Today was a pretty busy day, even though we only intended to go to one place.
We started the day out lazily by sleeping in until 11:00am. Got up and asked our tour sales guy, Victor, if he could get us to Chitzen Itza; unfortunately the tour left at 7:00am. We ended up renting a car [...]
Today Bonny and I had a very awesome time at Xcaret, Mexico. Think Disneyland in Mexico with a Mayan, jungle and Caribbean theme. It was way one of the best experiences we have had.
The best part for me was when we went swimming in underground rivers and swimming in the jungle. This is just a [...]
Not much today, mostly relaxing for tomorrows wedding. I can’t go getting killed or getting stranded somewhere right before the wedding now can I?
Basically we woke up really late, went to eat, went swimming, then had a fancy dinner.
Above is another bit of video from our day 2 in Cancun, Mexico. We got to go kayaking, meet a monkey, and go on a pirate cruise!
I’d also like to write (type) about what made it possible for me to be here. I am here for work…
Without Bonny, I don’t think I’d be able to [...]
Wow! Cancun is so awesome!
Here is a quick video (30 seconds) recap of our day. We got to see the beautiful beach and water, walk around a bit of Mayan ruins, see some wildlife and go swimming.
We still have not gotten in touch with Aaron (I’m shooting the wedding on Sunday with him) so hopefully [...]

Lan, Again, real sorry about the arm. I think he thought your camera was a weapon at some point. Thanks, for being a trooper and shooting the rest of the day with your left hand. The Ninja suggested attaching a well-trained python to your left arm socket as a potential fix. Said he knows a guy who can get you a good deal. The pics look awesome.
