IMPACT

Captured in Corona del Mar, IMPACT is one of those moments when the power of the ocean, the rocks, and the light all came together.

I’m excited to have IMPACT selected for the Newport Beach Art Exhibition this Saturday, August 15.

This image will be exhibited as a 20 × 30 metal print, and I’ll be there for the afternoon.

If you’re in the area, come by, see the work in person, and say hello.

The Wave We All Dreamed About
Back in grade school there were folders that everyone had. Peechee folders.. Those golden colored ones. I remember drawing perfect waves on them. Every surfer did this. This kid lives it!

Shades of the Pacific | Costa Rica
In a land of incredible landscaping, capturing the images in black and white give a much different feel. The power of the nature, the sky, the ocean.

STRATA - CRYSTAL COVE

Three black-and-white photographs from Crystal Cove brought together as a triptych.

I've always been drawn to these rock formations. The textures, layers, and shapes tell a story that goes back millions of years.

Playa Hermosa | Costa Rica
If you surf you know exactly what is going through this guy's mind. focused on the wave ahead, the critical section, the consequences of not making it. All of that in a split second. All the senses are firing.
