Wow. It’s been a while. And by a while, I mean a really long time. But here I go again, blowing the dust off the keyboard, cracking my knuckles, and digging in for some serious blogging.

When I first met her, she was helping film the hilariously disastrous Roatan Movie— the making which was infinitely funnier than the final result. We later collaborated on photo shoots for a few web projects around the island. Lia probably holds the world record for most time spent inside a homemade submarine (not including Karl Stanley and Barry, of course). For theses images, she was crouched for hours in a tiny spherical dome. She had to » read more «
