summer time vibes

It is now summer time and I can't wait for more surf sessions and bonfires on the beach!

when you dig you never know what you will find

As I was picking my nose and digging through my hard drive I found this photo that I shot off of my Iphone.... See Jersey does get waves!

Full Moon over Casino Pier

I was going through my hard-drive today and came across some old images that are still some of my favorites... Check them out.

Camping at Island Beach

I love going to a special place that is so close to home but feels so far away. Here are 2 images from Island Beach State Park.

Island Beach with Friends

This summer I have been enjoying spending my free time down @ Island Beach State Park. You drive into the park and drive the beach till you find a spot that you would want to post up at, then you feel like you are so far away from where all the mayhem takes place. 10 miles is all it take for me to feel like im no longer in New Jersey! This image is of my friends Jesse and his fiance Jess walk to get a better look at the lighthouse.

Part 2 of Jersey Fall Surf

Here are some shots of Bayhead knee-high and offshore.

During my last trip back to Nj the Surf was fun on some days and epic on others.

On Oct 26th I flew back home to take some seminars in Nyc during the photo expo. I was stoked when my buddies told me that the surf will get good during my stay for the 10 days. They weren't wrong and it was great being home in Jersey during the fall watching the seasons change by the day! These images are from a few different days. Check it out!!

Walking in the rain for inspiration with my Iphone

Being back on the Jersey Shore for 10 days is always great. It is amazing to see my town change at the flip of a switch. This boardwalk which is usually filled with Bennys and weirdos always seems different without all the noise!

Up my street

I love how you can walk past the same thing since you were born and every time you see it differently. This photo was shot on my Iphone while checking the waves out.

Behind the Scenes on a Video Shoot

The other day I got a phone call a few hours prior to a film shoots call time to shoot some behind the scenes images in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. It is just amazing the quality of these new digital slr cameras, I was blown away by the quality of something so inexpensive. Technology is scary.

Island Beach in the offseason

The other day my brother and I took a drive down to the end of Island Beach State Park after the nor'eastern. It was nice to grab a coffee throw on the flannel and head down into fishing territory. Not much beach was left after the storm but it was a fun drive anyway.

The Surfers View

While I was home and in between swells I got up with Derek Cicero the man behind the new up and coming website "The Surfers View". This website is an all NJ all surf site. From here you can check streaming video at some of New Jerseys best surf breaks with a lot more to come... He will shortly be launching a page of the Surfer View girls. We shot 3 girls at 3 locations so far.. Casino Pier, Bayhead, LBI. Start to follow his site because he has some tricks up his sleeve and will be making moves and before you know it if you are from NJ and surf this will be the site for you. Click once click twice it doesn't hurt only helps!!!
