Quiet Morning at the Cove
While we still had the nice sticky snow setting the scene, I woke up early one morning to attempt a sunrise shoot instead of my usual sunsets. I was driving along trying to think of the best location for the light and decided to go back to Wickford Cove where I had attempted another morning shoot a couple months ago. The road wasn't plowed very well and I had to park down the street and walk a bit, but it was worth it for the quiet and solitude, and of course the morning light.
This was the result, and luckily I didn't freeze to death like last time either! The sun lit up the trees as it rose but I still was unable to capture the scene as I wanted. I guess I'll just have to try again some other time but meanwhile I hope you still enjoy this snowy scene from a brackish Wickford Cove!

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.
