Flashback!

I just rediscovered some old photos from a sunset session at 48th St on 10-16-2008. Missing my 15mm lens; stolen and sold somewhere in Costa Rica for pennies on the dollar.

 Looking straight up

 Many good times had here

Blacks in Black and White 1/24/13

This guy was swimming slowly at the surface with his eyes almost closed, until he nearly ran into me.

This guy was ordered to swim in after this, which he did.

 The guy who almost got hit said I should entitle this "The Dangers of Surfing Blacks"

This guy was the bottom turn master. He got two bombs in back to back sets. Single fin for the win.

 SO many waves went unridden, mostly the best ones.

 It pained me to watch so many good waves go unridden or people taking off way on the shoulder. Next time I might just have to surf.

 Run run run RUN away!

 Bodyboarder got the photo of the day. He was the only one taking off deep enough...

EJECT! FIN

Those moving images

A while ago I promised I'd put together a few clips from my first session back in the water with a camera (since having all my equipment stolen in Costa Rica). It took much longer than I expected because I didn't think about the fact that along with my computer went my editing software. Now I'm back up to speed (more or less) and figuring out the new Final Cut Pro X. I do however, need to get back out there and shoot some more video in the water, now that I've got the focus issues figured out ;)

Missed Swell

Photo I took last winter when the swell seemed to evade me. During this last week I had some ridiculous battles with the fog, missing the only morning the sun broke through before the daily grind from 9am-6pm.

No Bad Days

Finally arriving in Hawaii brings mixed feelings. Relaxation and the anxiety of getting pounded by some serious waves.
