Graduation Day
Some more of my longer term readers are well aware of my beautiful wife, Lane. She regularly appears on this very site along with a multitude of other sites, usually surfing a big wave more often than not at Pipeline. The whole north shore community knows Lane as that hard core surf chick who’s been [...]

Polo on the north shore
North shore surfer; Jamie Sterling is a fully fledged big wave surf legend, but not so many people know about his other sporting passion, which is polo.

It’s been lively round here
It really has been such a poor season overall for good surf that it was a rather pleasant surprise to see some reasonably big surf here over the past couple of days. There was a relatively small number crew out and amongst large conditions all along the north shore, 2 nights ago. The swell rose [...]

The 10 best Hawaiian sea turtle pictures that I have taken.
I thought I’d take this opportunity to look back on some of the coolest under water photographs that I’ve taken of Hawaiian sea turtles over the past several years. I’ve encountered them in all kinds of interesting locations. Often, they like to hang around the rocks because it helps to give them camoflage from predators, [...]
In celebration of Hawaii’s beautiful blue ocean
I was just looking through my images for a specific image of a wave in clear water and was just struck by the how consistently clean our ocean water here and in in most cases clearer than what you would find in most swimming pools. Take these half a dozen images that I have selected [...]
Australian Coastal Panoramas
I just returned from a month long photo-expedition to the southern and eastern areas of Australia. First up, I flew into Hobart, Tasmania and photographed the Tasman Bridge in Hobart, along with the ever amazing Coles Bay, on the east coast. Following Tasmania, I captured the beautiful natural forests of the Yarra Ranges, to the [...]
“The garden”
I’ve been looking a lot further afield than my normal shooting locatons, looking for fresh new locations to shoot and I’ve been finding a couple lately. Take this morning for example. I got up in the dark, grabbed a cup o’ coffee and headed down the coast. The place that I was hoping to shoot [...]

Wallpaper murals from Magic Murals
I’ve teamed up with Magic Murals in the USA to produce extra large mural print wall-papers for those of you who just want a really big mural without the expense of purchasing fineart canvas gallery wraps or prints. Think back to the 70′s and 80′s when people were covering entire walls with single pictures and [...]

The Great Ocean Road was better than great.
I just returned from a 10 day photo trip to Victoria and Tasmania, both southern states of Australia. I managed to shoot a lot of great panoramic landscapes while I was there, despite sometimes less than favorable weather conditions. The Great Ocean Road was a great example of this. We rocked up Gibson Steps, just [...]
Flashback to 2001 and Kieren Perrow at Shipsterns
It was the year 2001 and I had led a band of surfers into a very remote and difficult to access surf location, deep in the Tasmanian wilderness. The place was still largely unknown about, but things changed after Kieren Perrow, Drew Courtney and Mark Mathews paddled out there. 2 Crazy sessions ensued over the [...]

A birds eye view of the famed reef at Pipeline
Ever wondered what the reef looks like that it causes the water to propel itself upwards and outward, forming the world famous surf break that we all know as Pipeline? Wonder no more.

The long wait
It is now November the 18th which is well and truly inside of the normal window for big surf in Hawaii. Typically at this time of the year, you’d be looking at 10 feet plus of raw ocean swell, but this year, it has struggled so far to get beyond a couple of feet. The [...]

Since then, I’ve photographed perhaps hundreds’s of thousands of images, but [...]
Kelly Slater add’s another 1 to his 10, to make it 11 world titles.
I used to wish I could have stood on the beach and seen the legendary surf sessions that happened at Off The Wall, back in the late 70′s with legends like Gerry Lopez, Mark Richards, Shaun Thompson, Buttons and more. Of course, had I actually been there, I’d be another 10 years older most likely, [...]
New sequence triptych Canvas’s
Folks, I’ve been offering the triptych canvas’s for quite some time now and they have proved to be some of my top sellers.
