Float on, we all float on.

All the pieces for my 7D water housing arrived yesterday so I rushed home, simpered into my wetsuit and ran to the beach. It was hard. I need googles, fins and a personal flotation device. Repeatedly got hammered by waves trying to even get out past the breaks but I had a lot of fun and snapped some really cool photos.

Here are the best ones:

This is actually before I even stepped into the water, I love this shot.

Just barely make out the surfer, I love the half in water half out on this one

A wall of water and light are bearing down on top of my

I had to jump with my arms extended to clear some of the waves and get pictures like this

Of foam and wave…. (Caspian reference)

I love how perfect the halo/flare in this one is.

The smooth blur fading into focus is really surreal

Wish this was in focus, but I always feel a little weird and rush when I’m taking pictures of people. Plus out of the water the housing is not the friendliest camera.

The End.

They watch the watched.

I woke up one morning, looked outside and this thick white smoke had rolled in. I rolled out, grabbed my camera and snagged a few beautiful images. Nothing quite like the fog.

Enjoy the journey,
enjoy the fall,
the leaves remind us all,
the rise that leads to beautiful falls

reasons to jump

She’s jumps to get closer…
I usually jump to cross a stream, reach the top of a cupboard, maybe touch the bottom of a basketball net. Do you jump?

accidentally adrift

When gone are the facts and left are all opinions, thoughts and feelings are stuck in a loop set adrift.

what we don’t see

You see the shine, the hair, the eyelash, even a blurred paw, what you don’t see is the tennis ball.
