Moonrise Yoga

I try to cram a lot into my summer season.  From the sailing and regattas, to unexpected surf sessions, to lifestyle shoots, not to mention getting out for any landscapes while the trees aren't bare, there's a lot to be done in a short period of time.

Surf // Hurricane Chris

The northeast is not known for having good summertime surf. Typically summer swells will only reach 2–3ft, but mid July saw the arrival of gorgeous chest high sets thanks to Hurricane Chris. The tropical storm turned hurricane as it churned offshore, while Beryl weakened and then reappeared off Bermuda. Here in Rhode Island we were met with sun and clear skies, accompanied by buoy reports of about...
