How else do you look after conquering a 2 metre mountain of rocks?

After months of begging me to do a shoot of him, I finally conceded and decided to bring my cousin out to do a photoshoot of him.

One of the last concluding photos.

Officially half cousin, I grew up with him going to his house a lot while we were young to...I don't really know? An asian thing I guess, my family always felt that family was the most important thing to you. Because when your at your lowest point in life, emotionally and financially, only family would be there through it all to help you out. (the validity of this statement is, of course, subjective to each culture)

Looking a bit too proud there, no?

I've had a lot of experiences with this cousin. Although he sometimes might've been too young to remember it (or too crazy), they're all great.

Nice back

Ski trips, Algonquin, semi-competitively-but-not-openly-about-it racing him through trails to see who's faster, biking, fishing, Tobermory, Chinese new year, Lunar new year, random friends dinner with our piano teacher, 5 day trip to the eastern provinces of Canada, Niagara Falls.

Don't kill me

Everytime we met up for family we automatically clicked, that was the coolest part I guess (though i never thought about it). We were tight without really trying.

Pimpin', I know.

To the point where our parents would always ask us why we were always so loud and laughing, and how they never understood our humor. I guess we were loud and annoying.

Moments after chucking a rock.

But in my opinion loud, annoying and laughing is all good, rather be that than quiet and like a wallflower. And like every family dinner, what's a good dinner without loud conversation going across the dinner table?

This is as emo as this post

So here you go Stanley, you happy now? Enjoy these new Facebook display pictures to show your friends. Did I tell you how much I charge per photoshoot? It's a hefty price. New camera please.

Awkward Turtle, where are you when I need you. J/k

P.S. - Remember to hire me as a wedding photographer when you get married :)

Just a fun photo :)
