Nikon in Odaiba


Jonas had a Nikon job in Odaiba (Missie, you should recognize this location :). 
Although we had to start the job at 6:00am he was happy
because got to run around the beach and play with a large ball!



Finished product of these scenes:



Blowing bubbles... another fun part of the job... easy!
(well, after about 1000 takes, not so easy)



Finished product of this scene:





Jonas' modeling Dad has a familar face... do you see it?


Terry is his name and he is an Austrailian swimmer, but he came to Japan to teach English.  A friend talked him into trying some modeling and now he is making more money modeling. 
I asked him if anyone tells him he looks like an American actor....



"Yes, Kevin Costner"... totally!  He was so good with Jonas.  He had a similar personality and looks, to his Uncle Dallin, so Jonas thought they were instant BUDDIES.  Terry said, "Wow, Jonas is the friendliest kid I ever worked with".  I felt kind of bad that Jonas was climbing on him all day long, but I said, "well, you resemble his Uncle Dallin" and Jonas piped up "Yeah, you totally do!!"





In between takes, Jonas hunted for shells and crabs.


Fake boredom.

After his job, he got to pick out a lego set and then we hoped in a taxi.  The poor little guy fell asleep as soon as the taxi took off.  I fell asleep too... caught myself drooling just before we hit home, ha!

Oh wowee!! Very fun! I instantly thought it was a clone of Dallin. I can sort of see Kevin Costner, once you said that, but Dallin? Instantly! Great finished products, too! Love it!

Yes! I thought he looked just like Dallin as well as Kevin (shut up Kevin! (: ) It sounds like he hit the jack pot- career wise. What cool experiences your kids have. I think you should get into modeling here. Worth it? Great photos!I love Japan's style of photography and advertisement.

So awesome! I can see Kevin in him... but he's WAY cuter than Kevin. :) I would know... I've seen him in person. ha ha I can see Dallin in him also. Very funny! And that Jonas felt comfortable with him. :) I love the pic with him and Jonas in the end result. They do look like father and son. LOL Awesome pics!!

He totally looks like Dallin. Handsome guys. My favorite phote is Jonas in the gutter. So cool.

And Tracey -- maybe I'm extra sensitive cuz we are so close to leaving, but I just have to say that you are TOTALLY AWESOME for capturing all of these moments. What am amazing experience this has been. I don't know how you are going to top it when we get back to the states, but I'm sure you'll find some way to do it.

These pictures are so great...I get sad just thinking about you leaving! I love the finished products - may just have to check out the cameras, too. Hope all has gone well with school year-end, and that you are not too stressed with all the preparations. Thanks for "blogging" your adventures!

Hey Tracy,

I just blog hopped over and found your cute blog! You have a beautiful family! Looks like life is good and you guys are happy! And of course you look great!

I loved your posts from Japan, especially the size differences and the crazy signs (it's funny how you see things in a different way when you go to another country!)

Great to "see" you!
