    Random dog shots

    Here's our oldest with Elfie. I've never seen a child and a dog have such a tight bond. It's pretty special.

    Last Child in the Woods

    I have enough outdoor activity interests that I could trade the ocean for something else, like snow. I had been an avid backcountry skier for years. The feeling I get from skiing is very very similar to what I get from surfing. We're currently looking into CO (have been for a couple of years...

    Last Child in the Woods

    That's awesome. Within the past few months, partly due to our current living situation, I've been getting my girls out as often as I can. It could be a trip to the desert or a run down the street for a hike around the lagoon. Our last trip out to the desert was a great experience for all 3 of...

    Last Child in the Woods

    Has anyone read Last Child in the Woods? What are your thoughts? I just started reading it yesterday and lots of passages are resonating with me. Maybe it's our current position in life. Maybe it's because my oldest daughter is 8 and she's never seen snow. Maybe it's the megalopolis of Southern...

    Cinematography

    Anthony Bourdain's crew shoots with 5D IIs as well. I've been trying to crack the cinematography shell as well. Moving from stills to moving images is a pretty big leap. I have a few ideas for a project that I recently started. Inspiration is coming from films like '180 South', 'A Brokedown...

    USB ports?

    I had been planning to install some of the USB boards from One Half Watt but they've apparently gone out of business within the last week or so. I've been digging around for something similar but google is failing me at the moment. I'd prefer not to have a box that plugs into a lighter and I...

    Artistic Shots- Well thought out, framed (positioned), artistic shots only please.

    Ancient Chinese secret young grasshoppa. I spit on the lens port just before I get in then give it a good licking. Saliva repels salt water better than anything for some reason. :drool: I'm comfortable in most conditions. I don't push myself as hard these days and my limit is about 12'. I...

    Which lenses?

    I shoot mostly primes. The 50/1.8 is an okay lens but I would spend the extra money and get the 1.4. I have the 1.2 and it is always mounted to one of my cameras. It's my favorite lens. Second fav would be the 35/1.4. The 70-200/2.8 is a great lens but heavy. You will need to be careful with...

    Artistic Shots- Well thought out, framed (positioned), artistic shots only please.

    There's a been a bit of swell (first decent one of the winter) running the past few days. Earlier this week, I was too excited to even think about swimming out with the camera. I was having way too much fun on the handplane. Took a bit of time this afternoon to get the camera wet.

    mmmm... beefy

    Just received a set of replacement front sway bar links for my FJ. I'll probably do the install tomorrow or Friday. These things are solid.

    32 is way too young. That image wasn't him but this one is. Winning the 2003 Pipe Masters.

    Artistic Shots- Well thought out, framed (positioned), artistic shots only please.

    Digging around the archives for some old surf stuff of Andy Irons. He unfortunately died today from an apparent case of Dengue fever. The winter circus on Oahu this year is not going to be the same. Anyway, I came across this one, I'd thought would be good to share.

    Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa

    This is epic. What a fantastic image! I always find it amazing that wherever I go, no matter the barriers (language or otherwise), kids are kids the world over. Thank you for this one. Made my evening.
