Here is a shot from the beginning of the winter that I initially overlooked. On second inspection, I kind of like the image as it captures the excitement of running down to the water's edge.
I have been busy editing my photographs for inclusion in a book that will be released in June. The book will focus on the lo-fi aesthetic in photography. I hope to have between 5-10 images included with an interview. More information to follow.
Surf was pretty exciting yesterday albeit out of my comfort zone. Hopefully, I snapped a few good ones as I shot four rolls. The light was rather suspect so who knows. Hoping for continued off shore conditions for tomorrow afternoon as I won't be able to get to the beach today.
Lastly, I am still hoping that readers here will support my efforts to raise money for childhood cancer research. Please sponsor me in my head shaving, which will occur tomorrow evening (3/16) as part of "Saint BALDrick's Day".
I am hoping that in addition to monies raised that the shaving will be an opportunity for me to deepen my sense of humility and compassion. Again included is the link - if you can donate anything ($5, $10, $25 etc) it would be appreciated and go a long way to helping the efforts:

I made this photograph after last week's hurricane-like storm (sustained winds of over 75 mph). Well, I guess little strips of wood and wire are no match for the power of ocean in the throws of a rather epic storm. If you think the fence looks bad you should see the destruction to the dunes. Intense for sure.
Once again I'd like to thank anyone who sponsored a shavee- at the moment about 12 million dollars has been raised for St Baldrick's. The moneys go to research aimed at finding cures for childhood cancer. I am honored to have been involved and have found the experience to be very powerful and thought provoking. I also enjoy my new aerodynamic approach to surfing.
A shot from last Sunday's swell- I like the depth that is evoked by the blurred edges the diagonal lines of foam and the positioning of the guys getting ready for the paddle out
I see this car all over town, I always try and grab a picture of it but more often than not the photos are subpar. I don't know whose ride it is but its always parked at the surf breaks. I kinda dig its decayed state and the fact that its always parked around the surf.

The New York Fish Frye has just announced the 2010 dates- It will be either 5/15 or 5/16 depending on the waves and weather. The event starts at 9AM and continues on. Over the last several years the event has had a great turn out with some insane fish to frye. Shapers such as manny c., j. hall, c. christenson, petro, mayo and kenvin have attended. Whats really great about the event is that its not at all commerically geared- just a time to talk with the "fish brotherhood"
Well about this time of year, I really get sick of strapping on the 5/4 milimeter wetsuit and 7 mil boots and mittens. What is almost as annoying as putting the suit on is trying to dry it out quickly.
Felt good to slip the vans on and hop on the longskate for a little while this week.
But I much prefer Fish and Logs...
