What an exhausting and exciting weekend!  I was down in Santa Monica for our monthly Santa Monica 5k Fun Run and filled my day with photoshoots and video thereafter.  I started off meeting with Jasmine for a great sports stock photography shoot.  She has an incredible, exotic look that went well with sword fighting.  Check her out here in a boxing photo.  I tried my best to scuff her up and make her look mean, but she’s the sweetest girl you’d ever meet!  Will have her photos available at OpenVase soon enough and use them on our Airikai website.

After a few hours of swords, kettlebells, and boxing photos with Jasmine, we headed up to Malibu to scout a location for a kettlebell DVD.  We went way up in the mountains and found an open field with the Pacific ocean as the backdrop.  It was gorgeous and became the setting for a 4-hour video shoot with Cindy directing while I kicked butt at kettlebells.  Talk about a workout!…
