Aloha From Hawai'i Island

My name is Andreas,

I'm currently on assignment to photograph Banyan Tree Sanctuary, Retreat & Resort again. If you visit their website all the photos they are using are from me operating as Dynamic Eye Studios. This is the third time I've gotten to stay here photographing their upgrades and seasonal fruit. They happen to be a fully vegan center with artwork all over the property.

The weather is overcast and when I took this photo it was drizzling and it's 81ºF.

In my hand I am holding the worlds largest fruit called Jackfruit. If harvested young you can make an amazing pulled jackfruit which shockingly tastes like pulled pork. However I like to eat them fully ripe when they taste like juicy fruit bubble gum. Some species taste better than others, with varying colors on the inside from yellow to orange.

I love complex origami so I've folded the piece of paper with my username on it to give the paper more definition.

I've been vegan for three years after enicially playing with a vegan in a BDSM dungeon in San Francisco. The "play scene" entailed flogging her with cheap cow hide floggers. As an environmentalist she was ok with that because the damage had been done, she also wanted the endorphin rush form being flogged. I no longer have those floggers because they fell apart from the heat of being stored in my trunk. I now have to pairs of custom made vegan floggers on their way. We then started dating platonically and eventually went to Berkeley Vegan Earth Day where I met a surplus of vegan doctors, athletes, and advocates leading to my commitment to go vegan over night. Probably the weirdest vegan story you've ever hear of but I've been fantasizing for three years now about advocating for veganism within the BDSM Fetish community as the Vegan Fetish Ambassador.
