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...
This hurricane season has been one for the books. From Gert to Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria, the season still isn't even over yet...

I did, however, make it out the day after Sandy had left to see some of the destruction. The Jamestown Bridge was still closed so I couldn't get over to the islands, but I did make it down to Narragansett. Navigating around closed roads and downed trees I managed to get to...

Along with a carefully picked time of day, I also go into the field with a couple of filters known as Neutral Density Filters, which...

But I thought I'd share as we all enjoy this wet autumn that's happening! I do love seeing a storm roll through.More to see at my website Pho...
