Kevin, Wanted to thank you for the class in NYC. It was exactly what I needed plus a good kick in the butt to make me get off my chair and do something! For that...I'm grateful. I have started to do things with less hesitation about the worse case scenario mentality. My husband was not able to attend the class - that was my only regret. I hope you don't mind if we update you from time to time about our success...Looking forward to some great times ahead. Thanks again for the much needed gas.

We had such a fabulous time during your visit and feel wonderfully blessed to have shared company! We will be sure to read your blog as often as we can to keep posted on your incredible life!

I've just recently taken up photography. I think your work is great, and I hope sometime soon I will be able to attned one of your workshops.

Hi Kevin! I love your new Blog, it's great to be able to follow your photography adventures here in Asia. Warmly Hanneke Mennens

Kevin-I am simply inspired. Photography has always been a passion of mine but now...it is beyond passion. You have uncovered a dream...the excitement flows through my veins and now I want to use it and need it like the oxygen we breathe. Thank you for your talent. The possibilities are endless! God Bless...

Was just reading about your Bloody Mary adventures! I live in Canada where they make them with clamato juice (sounds gross but, oh so good!) and they are called 'Caesars'. We were down in Washington last month and we had a tough time finding clamato juice and when we did it tasted much different then the brand we use here but I have a great recipe you could try with tomato juice too! We use Montreal Steak Spice as a rimmer ( and sometimes throw a little bit in the glass too... really peppery and garlicky... yum!) The other secret ingredient I add is a little bit of lime margarita mix... I know, sounds weird but it works. Not too much though! Of course we add the usual tabasco and worcestire and a squeeze of lemon too. But after reading your posts I'm going out to buy some pepper vodka! I like the idea of the cilantro and sesame seeds too. We are always looking for new Caesar recipes so I thought it was hilarious that you had a whole rating system for them... most places don't realize the importance of the garnish. One of the best garnishes I've ever had was a skewered prawn.... ok, I gotta go, all this talk is making me thirsty......

This does not look like my signature ;-)

Good evening mr. Kubota. my name is Anna Lopatin, My dad recently introduced me to your awesome photography skills.

I love people with positive attitudes! To many people today suffer over the little things in life and fail to see the beauty in the fact that they are fortunate enough to be alive another day just to waste it with negativity. 10 years ago I almost lost my life to a chronic illness that has continued to progress. But INSTPITE of it all I set my mind on setting my lifes mission statement and this is what I came up with: I would rather be fat and alive than thin and dead, I would rather be bald than have my beautiful long flowing hair and be lying in a coffin. The only person that suffers from self pitty is me because it only causes stress on my body which makes my illness worse. So in short I'm glad this happened to me rather than anyone in my family because I know what it is to be sick, I've suffered from one thing or another all my life but nothing life threatening like this yet all that has made me though enough to handle anything that is thrown at me. Most of my family would not be able to handle half of what I have gone thru. So smile and you encourage others. Laugh and you lighten your heart. And never forget your faith for if you believe in a higher power, a creator , your God, then you know that no matter what the outcome should be, that you will be taken care of because you will be in the best of hands.

Kevin,

Love your blog. I've been by your new place, very nice office space and I love that it is in Tumalo! Hopefully look forward to meeting you in person. Kubota sounds like a wonderful place to work!

Wow! The seminars in Phoenix sound amazing- I was hooked from the first sentence. BUT I live in Virginia- so bring some of that great enthusiasm and insight to the 'right' coast! and I'll be in the front row (NO, not with tomatoes and spitballs!).
I love, love, love Kubota Actions! THANKS!
Live, Laugh, Love, etc....Deborah

Hi there Kevin. I read about you, Ben Edwards and Emote360 in the October issue of PPMAG. Although I'm originaly from Brazil, I just relocated from the U.S. to Rwanda and would like to help/volunteer in case you guys need someone on the ground here in Rwanda.

Peace,
Jose.

Kevin,

Thanks for inspiring us to give back! As a group, Photographers have big hearts, and you are inspiring up to reach into our pockets to make the word a better place.

Thanks so much Sena Zimmer

Hello Mr.Kubota!I am a young photographer(at least i try) and i think you are doing a great job!Your photos provide a new aspect for me and new ideas!Keep ''fighting''...

I just read your e-mail about Rwanda and wanted to share a quote that you may have already heard:

If you visit Africa with a hard heart, you return with a soft heart.

If you visit Africa with a soft heart, you return with a broken heart.

If you visit Africa with a broken heart, you do not return.

Hey Kevin and Clare
I wish you guys to have all the good things of the world cause you are the nicest people i met a long time ago.
Be happy my friends and wish to see you soon.
