Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
I recently made a pit stop on the way home from Newport to photograph a local spot lit up every year by christmas lights and always visible from the Newport Bridge during holiday season! This private dock is decorated by a Newport homeowner happy to light up the night. I met the owner who mentioned he also installed port and starboard lights this year for those nautically inclined! This was actually the first frame I took all evening and it was the best of the bunch. I managed to set up JUST before the sky turned completely black. I'm also quite a fan of the bridge/dock symmetry. And a couple of stars in the sky to top it off!
A very Happy Holidays to everyone! Hopefully everyone here in the northeast managed to stay warm over the weekend, and everyone in warmer climates can enjoy the sun for us! No white Christmas this year but a great holiday nonetheless. And it isn't over yet!

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.
