Swimming

Sometimes I feel like I'm a seal...

Water and Light

Grainy Goodness

Even though a majority of the photos I take nowadays is digital, there's still nothing quite as rewarding as shooting film. Recently I found an old random SLR that has 50mm 1.4 lens on it that's pretty small and compact. I've also fallen madly in love with 1600 and 3200 speed film. The grain, the texture, tones, and overall mood that this film gives back is great. And the ability to shoot discreetly at night with no flash allows for a more candid image. Here is some examples of the images ive discovered after some nights on the town.

Probably the coolest dog I've ever met

Shoot The Roots at Shannons on 2nd. So amazingly good.

Sean's Swell

Drove up to the OC to catch the recent swell at a spot that never breaks unless its huge. And boy did it deliver. Stand up barrels throwing thick right on the sand.

First Swell of the New Year

 

Swam out on a pretty heavy day at Blacks. Some solid 5-7 ft waves with offshore breeze, what more could i ask for.  I met up with an old friend Jason Rice. Jason and I go way back and we've both traveled together a lot and shared many sessions.

Jason got a couple of bombs right in front of me.

 I got a little too greedy on this shot on got pitched. All in good fun though

Sadly I lost one of my swim fins towards the end of the session and to add insult to injury, right as I got to the beach I ran into supergrom Kolohe Andino. But other than that it was an epic day of shooting.
