Royal Kiss
In celebration of all the hoopla surrounding the Royal Wedding, I present another version. I photographed Christie and Patton at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki as part of a editorial fashion shoot for Destination I Do wedding magazine. Since the Royal Hawaiian is the second oldest hotel in Waikiki I wanted a vintage look […]

Wave of Interest
Wow, thanks everyone. Just checked the site stats and today I had my most one-day looks, so thanks for reading. After weeks of lousy winds and dribble of surf we are finally in a good pattern for surf. It always makes me more busy having good waves on tap, I seem to recharge faster and […]

Tavarua
Jump in, its probably bigger than you expect. Ashely, gracefully sliding, trimming a small wave. It almost looks as she has no board. Kona in the cooling Fiji light. Shot with Nikon F4s, top with the Nikkor N 35mm f/1.4, middle with my venerable Nikkor 300mm f/2.8 with the TC-14b and the […]

Iiad
Iiad My friend Iiad stepping out of the surf at Tonggs. Iiad lives close by and is a regular fixture out in the lineup, he’s hard to miss. I finished about 20 minutes earlier and had a good parking spot, and after rinsing and dressing I grabbed a Nikon F5 with an old Nikkor […]

Happy Nigel Day
My Bro Nigel shares a birthday with the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, seen here making his awful looking green algae swamp sludge “smoothie”. It tasted better than it looked. Nigel is Fortysomething, surfs like a Twentysomething and still has the enthusiasm of a teenager. A toast of green sludge to you! Shot with my Apple […]

Reef Running
So had a surf today, and as most times after some sort of tragedy or natural disaster, I find myself in the lineup with a few friends or surf acquaintances, talking about what has happened and reflecting on the potential of what could have been, especially in this case. A friend Jason, when I told […]

Waves of Energy

Surf Stoked
Wow, had just an unbelievable surf this afternoon. Truly exceptional, from the very first ride until the final wave, just an amazing session. The first ride was so complete and satisfying that I could have left the water then, but instead I kept catching great little waves. I must have ridden 12 waves and didn’t […]

Ah, Memories
Amalia, frolicking. Shot sometime in Uh-Oh two or Uh-Oh three, which is what I call the first decade of this current century, The Uh-Oh’s. Uh-Oh, Hanging Chad’s in Florida, Uh-Oh, 9/11, Uh-Oh, Wardrobe Malfunction at the Super Bowl, Uh-Oh, Global Financial Meltdown, the Uh-Oh decade. Glad that’s over. The above shot was for a swimwear […]

Release
Kika again, on her way to the nose. On of the hardest parts of noseriding, but also one of the most fun, the release of the weight forward after the first cross-step, with just one more step to the tip. Shot with the AF-S Nikkor 600mm f/4G ED VR, Nikkor AF-S TC-1.7E 11 teleconverter, Nikon […]
