Aqua es muy frio

Torrrrrrrrrrrrrrey Pines this morning. A few fun barrels rolled through. Eric Warner
was out shooting with Wes, Hollywood, and Cole. Casey got a sick one, Jabe rolled deep, and the water was freeeeeeeezing.
Peace

For those of you that actually check this blog, I've been a little busy, but I promise you great content soon. A swell is supposed to hit tomorrow morning so John Daniels and I are heading up north tonight. Tomorrow we are meeting up with my good friend Forrest Troxell and hopefully get both photos and video. Peace

I haven't spoken with my buddy James in almost a year now. I came across this tape today and put together a little edit. James is the man!

Cool Cole

There are a number of blogs out there that I check daily to keep me motivated and inspired as well as stay in the loop of other photographers and artists. Most of them are friends blogs, like the ones that are linked up right there on the side. I just saw this post on my friend Cole Barash's blog about his recent trip to NY. Check it out it's pretty cool.

northwest sauce

Last Friday a heavily anticipated northwest swell was supposed to hit. It didn't.
Blacks had a few sets, but everywhere else was showing chest high sets. This is John Daniels, Rod Stadelman, Kahana Kalama, and Tyler Reid doing there best to give me a few shots at Torrey Pines.








aqua es muy bueno

The season is just about here. High pressure and offshore winds, north swell, colorful sunrises and sunsets. Shooting surfing from the water is my favorite way to shoot hands down. I know there are a ton of great photographers out there, but not all of them get in the water.

With more factors necessary for a good water shot, I'm happy if I get 1 keeper per session. My favorite wave to shoot is anything big and hollow. It takes effort from both the surfer and photographer to sync up and make something happen. The following photos are a few I like from the past 3 years in the water. I'm still very new at this, but I try and shoot better each time I get in the water. Also, be sure to check out 3 of my favorite water photographers Scott Aichner, Brian Bielmann, and Damea Dorsey.
