Mr. Makekau

[HandsomeJonneh]

I love you. And always will.

And I'll always love totally screwing up your last name and variations of dera-lick-myballs on your answering machine.

Not but seriously. I love you forever. :o

[tcmarkley]

Ha.

Derek is gonna be the sickest photographer in all the land. You'll see ladies and gentlemen.

[Derek Makekau]

thanks jonny.

*hugs*

mr. markley, you flatter me sir.

[shabadahbadoo]

i hate it when couples make out on the street.

[narwhal]

I think Ryan Moore and I hold the record for the most horrible tries at saying Derek's name.

[AerialSkimmerBrad]

Thank you for your public display of love! It is very appreciated. Im sure you had to get that off your chest! And now a giant AWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[doug]

derek i was gonna call you tonight but i lost your number after you left me that message

[Derek Makekau]

no worries man...you can't have it again.

[doug]

consider my asshole closed for business

[Ryon Graf]

derek, all you need now is a good lense.

hah. with this many people getting into skim photography it might be profitable for me to write a book. hehe.

chapter 1: Why AL servo and back focusing button are your friend

chapter 2: why backlighting usually sucks balls

chapter 3: RAW workflow. Yes it is better. Yes it takes training.

chapter 4: The lure of oversaturation. Why it also sucks balls. Why it should never be done

chapter 5: why shooting contests usually sucks

chapter 6: the advantages of owning a big black pelican case

chapter 7: why changing lenses at the beach, no matter how you look at it, a bad idea

chapter 8: how much degree of focus?

chapter 9: shooting manually. How, where, and when?

chapter 10: why derek makekau likes feeling big, black, long er... camera lenses.

[shabadahbadoo]

if you seriously wrote a book with that kind of language it would sell like crazy just beavuse itsfun to read. I dunno who would publish it though.

[Walruz996]

I need to read chapter 4.

[Derek Makekau]

i would gladly write your introduction, ryon.

[Ryon Graf]

sick. The sad thing is, if I were to make a real, hard bound book with the best skim photography I'm not sure if anyone would ever sell a single copy.

[KrisStone]

Yea instead you should make a sweetass website about it so someone can steal your idea and bank
