Winter Erosion
Another trip to Green Hill, except this time my jaw dropped when I came over the sand dune to see the beach. Everything was eroded. I know winter erosion happens, sands shift, and beaches become steep, but I was here a month or so ago and it didn't look anything like this! The sloping beach was replaced by a steep decline. Waves were no longer breaking parallel to the beach but at all sorts of odd angles, indicating shelves and deposits of sand under the surface. All sorts of new rocks were exposed, and I took my time walking the beach as the sun sank lower in the sky.
Here's some more long exposure photography from late in the day. Enjoy!

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.
