Sun and Sails - Wednesday Night Racing
Off to the races!Wickford is changing it up this year by offering two 6-week series for the summer. And while we all were just wrapping our heads around summer finally arriving, the first series was already over!
I got out on the water for one gorgeous sunny evening in particular in late June to catch some action. The changeover in this fleet is pretty minimum so I have to really work to create new shots after 5 years of photographing the same boats again and again. Having beautifully blue skies and sun can never hurt in the photo-making process! Here are a few sunny sailing favorites from a night on Narragansett Bay :)
The event gallery can be seen under WYC Wednesday Night 2016

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.
