TSQ Location: Book 1.2, Chronicle section (Page 18)

Following in the chase boat, we came across this calm streatch of water while riding in the Amazon River. A huge green building/house thing appeared in the background. The Brazilians called it the Jungle House. To me, it looked so out of place for the scene of wakeboarding so I framed it up ignoring whatever Chris O’Shea was doing in my peripheral. Just as I framed up the building and got it in focus, Chris went flying through the frame nearly the same moment I snapped off the shot. It was completely unintentional for him to be in the frame. I love the final outcome of the photo and the constant element of surprise out of the unexpected.
