Shiloh and Heather
admin | May 17, 2010
The Gabelmans drove through town and seeing them pull up in their over-stuffed 4-runner, with two Chihuahuas, I knew it was a story worth telling.
| Profile on Shiloh |
Shiloh and I became friends in the summer of 2005. I had just moved down to Mexico for the beginning of what turned out to be a few years, and there was Shiloh. He was up in the mango tree that shaded the back yard of our house from the hot mexican sun.
I yelled for him to toss me one of those tropical, orange, juicy, fruits, and for the next few minutes we sat together devouring delicious mangoes, with my swiss army knife. Our friendship progressed from there, and mango eating continued over our time spent together.
Shiloh and I were room mates on and off for a few years in the beautiful beach town, Mazatlan, MX. We traveled together in Mexico, and spent a few months together in China during 2007.
The location where we lived in Mexico offered prime surfing and many evenings we stayed out way past dark, the waves and great conversation keeping us there. Shiloh was there for my epic encounter with a jellyfish, and I can’t even count the number of times we removed sea urchin spines from each others feet. Shiloh has skill for getting hurt in amazing ways, and I was honored to be present for a few of these moments.
Shiloh is one of my dearest friends and I even took credit for the crafting of his mohawk for a time. I had the privilege of photographing his and Heather’s wedding last summer in Alaska, where I again trimmed the mohawk. Heather is Amazing, She a Shiloh are a great team and I’m so glad they are finally married.
They are now in the middle of a long trip, from Alaska to Mexico. They are in the process of returning to where I met them. They will be working with Youth With a Mission (YWAM), and Homes of Hope, serving the poor in Mexico in a variety of ways.
I will be down to visit them later this year, and can’t wait for more mangoes, surf, and to see what they are up to then. LLTB.
Here are some photos from their visit :
After some sun, late breakfast, and a little catch up they drove off. I will be seeing them soon.
