Windanwomp: This image was taken on a small high tide evening at Windansea Beach in La Jolla, California.

Soulset: I shot this image on film back in 2004. It was just one of those amazing Southern California days and a friend had loaned me a board to sit on while I shot photos. This was one of the last photos on the roll. I flipped the borrowed board over and pushed it between me and the setting sun seconds before shooting this image.

Windansea Palette: Also captured at Windansea Beach during one of many amazing sunsets experienced here over the course of my time living in La Jolla.

Wiki Wiki: I shot this image of Diamond Head during a trip to Hawaii a couple years ago. With the help of some heavy filtration I was able to expose this image long enough to create a painted effect in the water.

The Peak: There are two things I like about this image of Black's Beach. For one, you can really see how this wave is coming out of La Jolla Cove's deep water canyon allowing for it's unbridled ascent onto the sandbar. The second thing is the peculiar lack of surfers out this day. The latter of the two being much more uncommon.

The Grom: I was just playing around with motion this evening as surfers were paddling out. This image showed a great deal of life in it when I took a closer look. It really reminds me how carefree and fun life is when you're young.

The Dragon: This image was taken on a trip to Nicaragua several months ago. Sometimes people ask me how I name some of my images. Typically, it's a simple association. I just look at the image and write down the first thing that comes to mind. In this case, a fire breathing dragon.

The Blue Bubble: I've did a couple trips down to Mainland Mexico during the summer and was fortunate to time it pretty well with conditions. While it's not terribly important where this wave is, I will say that it did this for close to 300 yards. Viva la search!

The Big Bang: Now, I'm no physicist, but I do happen to watch a lot of The Science Channel. This image, shot at Black's Beach, looked so much like some kind of molecular explosion in space that I had no choice but to borrow from Fred Hoyle's nomenclature.

Stranded: This image was shot at a somewhat unnamed stretch of coast near Ventura, California. It was a clear Fall day and the Los Padres National Forest can be seen in the background.

Silver Rush: Not quite as famous as the gold rush of 1849, this image was shot in Nicaragua and is actually the first black and white image I have put in my gallery.

Sea Glass: This image was shot at Black's Beach while free diving with my girlfriend one day. The water was so clear this day it was like looking through a fish tank from the inside out. On a side note, sea glass is actually one of the only valuable items created from the actions of the environment on man-made litter.

Sapphire Spinner: Another image of Black's Beach on small clean day with some slow shutter experimentation.

GoldenEye: This image was shot in Nicaragua just moments before the sun set over the mountains.

Mundaka: I spent approximately six hours in Mundaka while on a three week trip in Europe during the 2006 WCT tour. The waves were not that good but I did manage to take a few interesting images while I was there.

Meet 'n' Greet: This is an interesting image I shot while working in Hawaii back in 2004. Shot from a bit of a elevated angle I was somehow able to capture a wave at Pipeline and Off The Wall breaking at the same time.

Low Tide: This image was shot during a walk around Tavarua one evening. I was working on the island for a week in 2008 and after a long day of shooting surfers I would make a habit of walking around the small island looking for interesting things to shoot. The sand formation at low tide caught my eye right away.

Kiwi: I spent almost three weeks on the east coast of the north island of New Zealand a couple years ago. It was hard to come home from that trip because New Zealand has everything I love. Amazing surf, world class trout fishing , lush golf courses and beautiful scenery like this. Traveling here is definitely habit forming.

Kia: This is an image of one of my most favorite places in the world. Kia is a small island in the furthest reaches of Fiji. There is not much here that would excite the average Westerner. There is no television, no shopping mall, no 7-11, no pressure whatsoever. What it does offer is very simple. The kind hearted hospitality Fijians are known for, drinking kava under giant shady trees, amazing fishing by hand line and astounding beauty in every direction.

Kaena Point: Kaena Point, named after a Hawaiian chief, is the most western point on Oahu. I was staying in Pupukea during the winter of 2005 when I found a nice vantage point to capture this image of the point from above Waimea Bay.

Kaena Mountainside: I was in Oahu one season trying my best to shoot surf photography. Only problem was that the waves an wind decided not to cooperate for over two weeks during my time there. This lent for some exploration. I spent an afternoon out on Kaena Point trying to find an image. After several hours shooting water crashing on rocks I shot this photo of the mountainside. I think I liked it best because I'd never seen vegetative colors like this in Hawaii until that point.

Jelly Beans: I spent a few weeks in Bali last August with my girlfriend. Typically, Bali is a place I go to work. However, this was actually a vacation so I was free to shoot exactly what I wanted. This image was shot during a day we were snorkeling in Amed. This is a side of Bali that I'd never seen before and look forward to exploring more in the future.

Island Violet: This image was also taken during the same trip to Hawaii when the waves and weather just weren't that great. The great thing about it was that I was able to take the time to shoot non-surf related material like this. This photo was shot near the Turtle Bay Hilton.

Pacific Solitude: Nukubati, Fiji. I went there for a surf editorial trip but the waves never made it. So, we had to stare at these sunsets every night instead. Don't worry. I'm gonna be ok.

The Del: Thomas Edison, Charlie Chaplin, Babe Ruth, Marilyn Monroe. What do they all have in common? They have been guests at the Hotel Del Coronado. What else do they have in common? Well, they probably never got to see the hotel through the eye of a barreling wave as you are now.

Flight Formation: This is an image of Black's Beach on a very fun and uncrowded day. Well, save for the pelicans running training ops.

Engulfed: I shot this image the day after Hurricane Gustav made it's way through the Gulf of Mexico back in 2008. I was staying in a small beach front hotel in Panama City Beach, Florida as the hurricane made it's way towards landfall. The night before I couldn't stop watching that spinning purple blog on the Weather Channel make it's way towards me. I was sure that the roof of my hotel was going to rip off in the middle of the night, sending me up into the sky via twister. Luckily, it headed towards Texas causing minimal damage to the roof of my hotel room.

Ehukai Evening: This image was shot several years on Oahu's North Shore. Surfer magazine ran it a while later in a Hawaii issue. I think I was at Rocky Point shooting some surf action when I turned the 840mm of lens to the left and shot this image just before dark.

Chinaman's Hat: Due to it's unique conical shape, Mokolii is nicknamed Chinaman's Hat. Every time I come to Oahu I try to spend a couple hours on the windward side of the island looking for interesting things to photograph. I have probably shot this island from a ten different angle during different trips to Oahu. This on is my current favorite.

El Colorado: This photo was taken in Nicaragua at one of the most perfectly groomed beach breaks I've ever seen. I think the best part of this trip was that I wasn't there working. So I actually spent most of my time surfing. Seriously though, when the waves get this good, the camera has to come out for a ride.

Bula Bula: Translation...hello, welcome, bless you, good luck. Basically, Bula means very good things in Fijian. I though it fit this image of Tavarua well.

Shore Patrol: Come on in kids! The water is great! Yes, it's a shark in La Jolla, California. Will it hurt you. Well, if you are a worm, clam or shrimp you might want to watch out for this Leopard shark. His mouth is the size of a silver dollar. I spent a few days last year swimming around these curious creatures and making them my models.
