Project Vertigo
I had a whole article written about how hard it was to swim with two cameras, the technical challenges we overcame, and what I hoped to achieve with it. I think this photo does enough explaining about double vertical fisheye. It’s in Australia Surfing Life’s Hawaii issue. Thanks to Chad Stickney for helping make this [...]
Surfer’s Path Article
Got this in the mail yesterday from Europe, 10-page spread on my trip to an outer island in the Pacific. So many people email me to find out where this is, based on the fact that I was the first person the islanders had ever seen try to surf the waves, this one is going [...]
Australia Surfing Life
So pumped this finally came together and ended up in print!

Full bleed{ing} all over the place!!! Rusty Long in a Puerto bomb. When he took off on this wave it was still dark out and as he bottom turned that light saber came over the horizon and pictured is that golden 2 seconds of light that looks really insane; all the whites turned gold!
Thoughts on Style
Sometimes people say I have a certain style… I hear this from a variety of characters in the surf industry. “You shoot like this or that photographer, your work reminds of so-and-so, etc.” They try to place me in a category. People like to put labels on ideas and others; it makes them feel more [...]
Wave of the Week
I swam out and noticed some fog inside my dome port from going straight from an air conditioned room into the warm Hawaiian water. But there was a little clear spot in the corner so I tried to frame every shot around it and lucked into a wild refraction.
