Late Summer Sailing, Lots of Smiles
It's getting late in the season but there's definitely plenty of enthusiasm to still go around! We had another terrific day with a steady breeze for the evening, and the air is definitely starting to get cooler as autumn swiftly approaches. It was another exciting night with hairpin turns and crowded mark roundings. Papa placed in the back of the fleet, but that could have been caused by the large 11 person crew we had onboard! Either way, it was a very fun night and I have some great shots to share as a result!
As always, be sure to check out the WYC Wed Night Racing 2012 Viewing Gallery for all the photos from the night and to purchase any imagery!

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.
