Abstracts // Narragansett & Narrow River
Early this summer, when the weather and water were starting to warm, I went to explore abstract photography once again. Although I returned to perhaps my most photographed beach – Narragansett – I challenged myself to find something different. I watched the waves roll in, and water line washing back and forth... and then I thought about finding some greenery.
I walked all the way to the end of the beach where Narrow River meets the ocean. The sun was setting directly up river, so I had to face my camera more to the North where the last bit of marsh reeds met the sand. I found my bit of green, and I played with the new color palette as the sun sank and the light turned golden.

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
