4．Kenji Croman has broken his bones，his shoulder and elbow，and nearly drowned several times．He's also had three close encounters with sharks over the years．A 10-foot  wave landed directly on top of him five years ago，bending his body to the point that he  actually kicked himself in the head．"I literally heard every bone in my body crack，"he said．
   Croman has been photographing ocean waves since 2008，sometimes risking his life to get that perfect shot at the surf break．Despite the risks and certain injuries that come with wave photography，the Hawaii resident，body surfer and former competitive swimmer wouldn't do anything else．The 36-year-old photographer loves the thrill of meeting breaking waves head on，shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills．
   The process of photographing waves requires more than just swimming out to where the surf breaks and waiting，he says．The night before a photo shoot Croman checks Surfline．com，a website and the coastal camera network that provides live and predicted ocean weather  information，to see what the winds，waves and tide will be like at certain times．Croman has  both a primary camera and a backup for emergencies．He goes without a wetsuit and uses  heavy duty underwater housing to protect his camera．There is no great way for him to  protect himself．He admits there are probably protective clothes he should be wearing，but  there is little he could have done to decrease the impact of the lo-foot wave that crashed on  top of him．
   The hardest part of Croman's job is staying calm in the face of breaking waves when his  initial reaction is to panic and swim away．At most，Croman will take two to three shots of a  single wave．"I've shot waves for so many years now that I see the wave in slow movement，"he said．

So far, the Edinburgh International Festival5.(earn) its reputation (声誉)as one of the world’s 6.(great)celebrations of the arts. The founders believed that the programmes should be of the highest possible artistic standard presented by7.best artists in the world, that the festival should enrich the cultural life of Europe 8. that it should provide a platform(平台)for the flowering of the human spirit.

I had started a small company several years ago. I worked hard to make it successful. It was a sign-making business. It was a small company, and it was private.

Still, I worked hard building up my business. I did not work only a few hours each day—no banker's hours for me. Instead I spent many hours each day, seven days a week, trying to grow the company. I never cut corners or tried to save on expenses. I made many cold calls. I called on possible buyers from a list of people I had never seen. Such calls were often hard sells.

Sometimes I sold my signs at a loss. I did not make money on my product. When this happened, there were cut backs. I had to use fewer supplies and reduce the number of workers. But after several years, the company broke even. Profits were equal to expenses. And soon after, I began to gain ground. My signs were selling very quickly. They were selling like hotcakes.

I was happy. The company was moving forward and making real progress. It was in the black, not in the red. The company was making money, not losing it.

My friend knew about my business. He is a leader in the sign-making industry—a real big gun, if you know what I mean. He offered to buy my company.

He offered me a ball park estimate of the amount he would pay to buy my company. But I knew his uneducated guess was low. My company was worth much more. That is, he asked his accountant to take a close look at the finances of my company and decide how much it was worth. Then my friend increased his offer.

My friend's official offer was finally given to me in black and white. It was written on paper and more than I ever dreamed. I was finally able to get a break. I made a huge profit on my company, and my friend also got a bang for the buck. He got a successful business for the money he spent.
