I snapped this one early pre-dawn morning in Oceanside.......I loved the Robert Frank feel to this morning had... I always love to go back to "The Americans".... The volume illustrates better than any history book could the post world war II undercurrent of america....

cardiff by the sea, right near patagonia.....pups leads boy, boy leads parents.....classic!! kid was so stoked to have a pup!!

no rust buckets here

such awesome cars in california..no salt on the roads, snow and extreme conditions to rust them out i guess

the family that surfs together, stays together..

The Tommy Brull Foundation is a 501(c) 3 non for profit group that my family founded to assist those in need in our community. The hope is that the foundation keeps the spirit of my brother Tom alive despite his physical body being passed on.

All proceeds from this Tommy Brull Foundation Event will go to the Camp Anchor Building Fund. Camp Anchor is a recreation program for significantly mentally, physically and emotionally challenged children and adolescents in Nassau County. There main location is Lido Beach NY and they are constructing a building to house their winter programs in>> A well worthwhile endeavor!!1

On another note- sorry for the slacker approach to the blog. I just got back from 2 weeks in north county SD. Hopefully i have some decent images to post up but i had some major lo-fi technical issues so i am keeping my fingers crossed. I did get to spend a wonderful evening with Cher and Steve Pendarvis and I am hoping some images came from my time with them...Great people for sure!!!

Please come out to support the benefit if you are around!! many Thanks

synergy.. i guess

check out shipworm from molluskny rocking a channel island thruster complete with unSound surf sticker...he seems to have enjoyed himself!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates... been shooting a little as of late so hopeful more surfy stuff to come... getting psyched for the yearly jaunt out to north county San Diego... hopefully my less that quick surfing reflexes will come back before i come back to the NY endless bummer...
