In the Bite Magazine Ad
Here’s the ad going in the upcoming issue of In the Bite Magazine, featuring my photo of the Bill Collector from the PCBT last year. I think it turned out great! Please feel free to contact me if interested in having your boat photographed!
Storm Cell
For my upcoming Eastern Surf Magazine portfolio feature, one of the questions asked is what is your favorite subject besides surf? Didn’t really have to think about it. Clouds! This storm cell moved in soo fast. Was sunny and beautiful 10 minutes prior to taking this image. Was actually in the middle of shooting and engagement session! 5 minutes later it was pouring rain. Thankfully theres a delay between when the clouds approach and when the rain makes it to the ground. Love me some stormy weather.
Diptych
Been a while since I put a diptych together. Here’s couple old photos I think work well. Zander Morton carefully stepping down a razor sharp Nicaraguan staircase and an unknown surfer making the trek back up the ”Goat Trail” at Blacks Beach in San Diego.
Bill Collector
How beautiful is this boat??? Shot this last year during the Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tournament. It will be used in an advertisement in upcoming issue of In The Bite Magazine. I’d already shot countless photos of the boats from the docks and the air so I wanted to get a different perspective. I decided to paddle out on my paddleboard with my camera in the waterhousing and shoot from the water. I wanted to get the bridge in the photo so I sat just outside of the channel at the entrance to PC. I currently only have fisheye and 70-200mm ports for my housing so I had to go with the fisheye to get everything in the frame. Using such a wide angle meant I had to get relatively close to these huge boats coming in and it was pretty intense. This photo looks like I’m about 50 ft from the boat but I’m actually only about 25 or so. You should’ve seen the looks on the fishermen’s faces when they made the turn and saw me floating there on my board holding my giant water housing right outside the channel. Some of em must’ve thought I had a machine gun. Ended up getting some cool shots though so it was worth it. Looking forward to shooting the Pirate’s Cove Billfish Tourney again this year.
Mammatus
Here’s an incredible sunset I shot last winter. It was one of those evenings where the sky was overcast and looked pretty boring, but I had a feeling it would light up after the sun went down. Had no idea it would be as amazing as it was. The sky caught fire changing from blue to purple orange and pink. You can see the atmospheric instability in the clouds that resemble bubbles or boiling water..also known as mammatus clouds. And if you look carefully you can see the face of Mammatus himself.

Nights in Rodanthe
This is a long exposure of the Serendipity, better known as ”Nights in Rodanthe house”, before it was moved a couple years ago. I was on my way to Buxton for the night and stopped to shoot a few images at Mirlo Beach because the full moon was so bright. The surf was pumping and I remember mindsurfing these amazing waves while I was shooting the long exposures. It was kinda late in the evening and during the offseason so it was eerily calm and quiet…zero humans anywhere. I’d taken a few photos without any vehicles passing during the exposure and they came out OK. Then a couple DOT trucks showed up to work on the dune at S Turns and passed during one of the exposures. I liked the image much better with the streaks of light from the trucks because it added warmth and color, so I waited to start the next few exposures when the DOT trucks were driving past. Here is one of the frames. Good thing they moved the house cause Irene would’ve swept it away.
Stinsons Ranch
Another one from the archives. Shot this in 2009. Super calm morning. Drove around looking for interesting things to shoot with the sound being so glassy. Ended up at this old home in Nags Head known as the Stinsons Ranch. Such a cool little house built many many years ago. I believe it was built in the late 60s or early 70s. Maybe the only house built over water in the Outer Banks? Here is an Our State Magazine article on the home: http://www.ourstate.com/stinsons-ranch/. Little did I know 2 years later a hurricane would come through and completely demolish the house leaving only a few pilings and a staircase. So sad. Below my photo is a moving image of the owners of the home after Irene devastated the Outer Banks and destroyed their home. (I did not shoot the 2nd photo, I found it online.) If anyone knows the Stinsons please have them contact me and I’d be more than happy to give them a print of their beautiful home before the storm. Happy to hear they are rebuilding it.
