So I got an email from another Flickr member, Madam Bizarro with the subject “stolen photo” which read:
Megan–you might wanna bust this guy.
[insert now defunct link to a photo in Lightko Studio‘s facebook portfolio]
Took one of your photos of Aaron’s bite and claimed it is his special effects make-up. Yeah, dude, I guess it DOES look real, since it IS.
And sure enough, I clicked over and saw this: (WARNING: If you don’t want to see the inside of my husband’s leg, do NOT read any further.)
“I just found out that I can’t dance like James Brown due to being bitten by a shark. However, had I not been bitten by a shark, I still wouldn’t be able to dance like James brown.” -Aaron
Aaron said this as we were preparing to go to a friend’s wedding. (Congrats Robin and John!) He had just watched an old video of James Brown going over some dance moves. He could do one if he lead with his good leg, but when attempting the same move on his shark leg … it wasn’t pretty. In fact, it was pretty sad to see Aaron’s face completely fall when he realized that his shark leg had destroyed all of his James Brown dancing dreams. Poor baby!
Made only worse/more awesome when the groom executed the move FLAWLESSLY on the dance floor at the reception. (Go John!)
Now here’s a pretty cute picture of us at the wedding:
Here are some of the news clips from Aaron’s shark attack.
I wanted a place to store all of them, and also make it easier for people to find the news stories.
A month after the shark attack the Maui news did a special report on Aaron’s doctor- Dr Peter Galpin. (Aaron was his 9th shark attack victim.) This video is cool because it has some pictures of Aaron’s wound that we hadn’t seen before.
I’ll add more videos to this as I find them, and if you out there in blogland see clips that I haven’t please do me a favor and send them to me!
muchos gracias amigos.
Okay everyone, here it is in all it’s gory goodness… THE SHARK ATTACK BLOG!!!!
But before I get to all the bloody stuff, I’m going to bore you with some vacation photos…
Day 1: Arrive in Maui and party!
This picture is scary because of the foreshadowing, Here we are at the Four Seasons on our first day in Hawaii. We decided to have drinks at the Four Seasons while we were waiting to check into our condo…
Look how happy and drunk and bipedal we both were!
Crazy foreshadowing… right behind my right shoulder (your left) is where Aaron would be attacked by a shark two days later!
Day 2: My cousins took us out on their boat to swim with the turtles.
A view of my cousin's boat from the water.
Later on Aaron would say that this day made his shark bite all worth it. He would have gotten attacked all over again just to be able to have the amazing experiences we did this day.
A self portrait.

my favorite picture of the trip!
That evening Aaron and I drove around the island and visited several beaches…
This is one of the last pictures I have of Aaron on two legs.
DAY 3: the day that changed our lives.
