Patagonia used two of my photos of Rusty Long in there online and print catalogue for there Fall 2009 Surf Catalogue.  One on the cover and one on the inside...stoked!  I owe a big thank you to the team at Patagonia for choosing my image in addition to Jeff and Bowen at Aframe photo for making it happen.

A couple lineups

Being a surf photographer has allowed me to travel around the world, get a front row seat to some of the best surfing in the world, and every once in a while lets me surf some of these waves.  Here are a couple lineups from the past year of my travels.

with darkness comes light.

the last week has been crazy.  spent the better part of last week in a dark dark room in Santa Barbara printing photos. 

Caught up with a couple friends, jammed down to San Diego and took off the following day on a last minute strike up to Mavericks...22 feet at 20 seconds, I had to see it for myself. 

The wind was a bit funky but the boys still managed to pack a few and all come in, in one piece. 

After the morning session at mavs, we raced back down the coast straight into a full day of surf yesterday and today. 

I'm tired.

A friend of mine and former Brooky is running a site called osmosis online.  It's a way to stay connected with fellow artists and creative types alike.  He dropped me a line and featured me on his site..check it out!

progression/regression

EPS is the new polyurethane.  Extruded Polypropylene is the new Polyethylene.  Fishes are the new thrusters. 

I find it funny how the original surfboards were finless.  Than they went to singlefins.  From single fins to Twinnys (thanks MR), than Twinny's to Thrusters (thanks to Simon Anderson), than came quads.  People realized some quads were limiting so they went back to thrusters before getting into the whole fish movement, now hulls are the cool thing (single fins).  Interesting enough Bodyboards have always been finless and are still proven to hold a rail and go fast.
