Kahala Wedding
Polina and Scott at a Kahala estate. The story of their wedding license application was featured in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser HERE. I submitted a few shots and the one below was used on the front section jump. Shot with a Nikon D3 and a Nikkor 50mm f/2 H.C converted to Ai. I’ve surfed for years […]

Dennis Pang Fish
Dennis Pang holds my brand new keel fin fish, 5 foot nine inches of speed. This was back in 2004 or 2005, I still have this board although a cracked fin box has limited the use of this board the last couple of years. The color is a blue resin tint on the bottom and […]

Tai shadowing me in the lineup back in 98. Shot with a Canon water P&S. POS I meant, you’d be lucky to get 5 rolls out of one. I think I’ve been through 3 of them, they keep working until they just stop. Canon wouldn’t replace it but allowed me to buy one at a […]

Pipe Masters Opening Day
Once again, early to rise at the 2012 Pipe Masters Slater eating it on wave #2 of his warmup. The gathered crowd gasps. Beautiful wipeout. Vans World Cup 2012 winner Adam Melling briefly connects before making a dues payment at Pipe. Bruce Irons, on a very short quad. Dane Reynolds: Very impressed with his surfing […]

Lounge
Kona, in Fiji, shot on Fuji Astia, which is/was a slide film, on a Nikon F4s with a Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 Ais. Beautiful light in Fiji. Scanned on a Fuji Frontier, converted and tuned in Aperture.

Wind Shift
On of my favorite images that was never used, so I’m showing it here. This was at the end of a editorial wedding gown shoot for Pacific Weddings Magazine, and after a long day of shooting everyone was pretty tired as the light faded. The wind at this Big Island location had turned onshore, coming […]

And More Pipe…
Still a few more good moments to show. Above is John John Florence in his heat against Kelly Slater. Check how low and late he is doing this bottom turn, deep in the trough a fraction of a second before the lip contacts the face, and it looks as if he has got a bit […]

Pipe Masters Day One
Yes folks, the Pipe Masters contest is on! Today was the start of the waiting period, and after very lackluster start to the North Shore surf season the ocean awoke with the first big west swell of the season. At times it was too big, with the waves forming on the Outer Reefs and washing […]

Cult of Brewer
Iiad enters the realm of his surf. Iiad rides Dick Brewer’s, custom made and glassed by Jack Reeves. Really nice boards, all sparkly in the afternoon.

Yep. Doing Fine
Whew. Had a busy day yesterday. The surf on the south shore was large, the largest in a few years, and of course I have an all day photo shoot, at the beach in front of the largest breaking spot on the island. The shoot was for Pualani Hawaii Swimwear 2012 catalog, so there were […]
