The surf finally bumped up a little today, but so did the wind. Thinking somewhere may be better protected from the wind I tried to make it down to the beach I surfed the first day. Unfortunately the last two days of rain has transformed the small cobblestone streams I needed to cross into knee deep boulder fields. I was hoping the wind would die down in the late afternoon, but I wasn't that

The first day was pretty good; some dying swell action on a deserted beach break, family hike through the rain forest, afternoon surf in crowded slop, and a trip into Old San Juan for dinner. I'm hoping my rental can make it a few more days without falling apart. All it took was about 3 miles of two-track, 4 small stream crossings, and about 50 neighborhood speed bumps, to rip off the bottom

Kevin McHuge @ Post Canyon, Hood River, OR. It was my last day in Hood River and the plan was to get a few riding and lifestyle shots near the top of Post Canyon, but the weather didn't want to cooperate. We spent more time trying shelter our gear than we did riding/shooting. Seems to be happening a lot lately.

I spent this past weekend shooting the Hood River Super Downhill for VitalMTB. I'm pretty stoked with the images seeing how challenging the event was to shoot. It's not your typical race. Trying to cover 7 miles of downhill track is almost impossible in a day, but thankfully the shuttles were running all day and I could be dropped off not too far from the course. It's also a different group of

...I managed to keep pretty and do a little house cleaning- it feels good. I wonder if the sunshine had anything to do with it?Here are a couple shots from the past 2 days, and a few I had sitting around from the last trip to the coast. I guess nothing particularly special about these images other than I can remember exactly what I had on my mind when they were taken. None of them have anything

I've had a little too much free time in the last few weeks and starting to feel a bit unproductive. In my case it's true that idol hands are the Devil's tools. Not only do I find myself amassing a pretty impressive collection of Mickey's beer cap puzzles , but I'm afraid I'm losing focus on just about everything. So to combat this feeling of being unproductive I'm going to try and do something

With the lack of snow in the NW I guess you could say I wasn't really surprised to be shooting bike photos yesterday. Weather and conditions was perfect for riding. Here are a few outtakes from the shoot with Trevor Siebert and Division 26.

Flew back from Florida, picked up a dog, had a few late birthday drinks with friends, and then headed straight for the coast. Prospects of a big winter swell had everyone lined up for the early ferry and frothing for some cold water beat-downs. It was exactly what I needed after spending a week with family.

I don't make it back home very often, but when I do it's non-stop family time- 5 days of scheduled lunch and dinners. I'm about ready to get back to Seattle even though I haven't really done any of the things I wanted to while here. I guess it's not as bad as it sounds...I did get to head up to Dad's property.

It's funny how the faintest lines of yellow and green on the radar can cloud our judgement. And even more amazing how all rational thinking goes right out the window when BIG red blobs are headed our way. Recent images from a 6 hour round trip for 2 hours of water/camera time.

Mandarin oranges on my "Quality Signature" QFC salad are the most exciting thing to happen as of yet today. As much as I enjoy the tiny slices I would gladdy sacrifice them if I thought stuffing some of my salad into the ports of our F5 would resolve some routing issues and end a 4 hour long bridge. Some of my colleagues don't seem to agree that it's the right solution, but I would argue the

I can't remember the last time I spent a weekend in La Push. I'm pretty sure I didn't make a single trip out there last year. A lot has (and hasn't) changed since then- crappy Twilight souvenirs and signs at every stop; permits for camp fires; noise ordnance banning fireworks except for a 3 month period; TEAM JACOB carved into every piece of wood, and no more hot showers. I'm not sure why this

Spent the weekend in PA @ Dry Hill shooting the NW Cup #3. Pretty stoked on some of the shots and have already found a home for a few. It was a good crew as usual which makes hiking up and down the hill much easier when you know you have a tent to kick back in and enjoy a beer when you get tired.

I ran across this the other day on Boardistan and just couldn't help but laugh. I wasn't laughing because the thought of surfing the lakes is ridiculous, but because 15 years ago that was me. I have at least 20-30 sessions under my belt surfing the waters between Frankfort and Glen Arbor.On windy mornings I used to wake up and call the Coast Guard station in Frankfort and get real time weather

When a rental house says it sleeps ten you can always plan on at least being room for 15 which of course we interpreted as “Plenty of room for 18 people, 3 dogs, 34 boards, and 24 wetsuits.”. Actually it was enough room as long as you were ok with sleeping on floor, and waiting to take a shower. Surprisingly we ended up with too much food and not enough beer. Surf was fun at best which meant

Stolen from the interwebSo far I've been reluctant to attend. I've endured tremendous amounts of peer pressure, and have even been made fun for not participating. I guess everyone has already been doin' it for a season or two. It's not that I was afraid to join in, but mainly due to games being on the weekend and could possibly take time away from surfing plans. Oh yeah, and I can't stand soccer.

This is pretty much what my life feels like- a pile of surf wax, wetsuits, bike pads, helmets, sleeping bags, camera bags, light stands, changes of clothes, and somewhere under all of that is my laptop for work...and that's not even the beginning of the baggage I feel I'm carrying right now. Thank God for 4 day weekends in sunny North Carolina where I can pretty much do what I want and don't know

I usually don't get too excited about races. As a matter of fact I don't stick around for the actual race. I seem to get much more accomplished during the practice rounds. This past weekend was a different story - round #1 of the Pro-GRT. Thanks to the Iceland volcano the turn out was much better than usual, and the caliber of riders was right up there with the World Cup. I'm not a racer, and no

Didn't even get in the water. Hung on the beach and snapped a few pics. Was planning on surfing the groins after lunch, but conditions turned for the worse. Ended up at the mini mart were Clem and I purchased a few Steel Reserves to fuel surf heckling session. At the time "High Gravity" malted beverages sounded like a great idea...not so much this morning. In the office today wondering if

I've been on a short break for awhile in Paris. Work pretty much sucks up every second of computer time I can handle in a 24 hour period. Some free time on weekends to walk and get to know the city. I have a few pics, not much time to post. I get back to Seattle this week and with every timezone I cross I'll be adding another hour of freetime to my day- I'm so over 12-14 hour days.Gonna miss my

Just ran across the trailer for the documentary FIBERGLASS AND MEGAPIXLES. Of course I've always dreamed of being a surf photog, but on the other hand I could never imagine lined up on the beach with 50 other guys snappin' shots of the same exact thing. I don't have some profound artists statement touting my creativity, or uniqueness, I just know it would be tough to do for me. Who am I kidding?

Little surf and a little snow this weekend. Equally average conditions, but still a good time. Also started a new project this weekend and it's turned out to be a pretty big one- cleaning up my catalog of images. I'm not trying to implement anything different than what most serious photogs do, just better than what I've been doing. Basically it involves a lot of re- naming, importing, converting,

If you ask my wife what the plans are for the weekend she'll typically say she's going to try and get up to the mountains and I'll be surfing. This weekend I did my best to expand my horizons and take in a few different activities.We never even made it to our seats...because with action like this you are always on your feet!!!!I also learned that a zombie needs to be closer than 40ft feet for me

The best part of G.A. is the breakdown of keyword searches that brings traffic to your site. Generally some results are informative, some disturbing, and at least one that makes me do a little research to figure out how the hell they ended up here.

Back at it. Started a new full time gig with Voxmobili- small French company that provides mobile applications for T-Mobile in the US. Pretty stoked on job and work I'll be doing. It's not photography, but... Not sure what the work schedule will be like. I do know I'll be working from home a good portion of the time, which means random trips to the coast when the surf is good. It just may be

Shooting bikes is fun. Not much has come from it so far other than a few published pics and some new friends. I'm still pretty pleased with the results considering how much, or how little, time I've invested. Here are two shots that just made it into a UK downhill mag - Wideopen.

For some reason starting this thing back up seems like a good idea right now. I don't know what I'm going to say, I just have a feeling things are going to start happening. This past year has been a bit of a roller coaster, which may have made some interesting posts, but chances are it would have been more of me just bitching than trying to be productive.So where do I start?

Please move on there is nothing to see here. I'm serious...there is nothing of interest here in Kansas City. It even made me miss the clouds and rain. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law did their best to entertain, but they don't have much to work with here other than Lidia's resturant and my 2 month old nephew, who is pretty amazing.

It's dumping in the mountains and I'm down here in the city. I guess I could go up, but another day in my brand new Burton boots makes me want to puke. I have a new pair of Salomon Synapses on the way. they should show up in a day or two. While I have all this free time I decided to get creative-Not only can I take pictures, but I'd say I'm quite the Photoshop wizard too. Supposed to take some

Headed out Thursday with Trav to beat the weekend crowd and because I had a party to attend up at Steven's Pass for Mike T's engagement. We made it out to the coast in time for an afternoon session sharing glassy waist high waves with 3 other guys. Outgoing tide eventually put a squash on the waves so we paddled around the point to 2nd beach. Not much action over there either. It was a long

One of the loyal followers suggested a few keywords I should try to increase traffic, or at least I think that's what he was suggesting- "pussy, sex, fuck, crap, shit, puke, britney spears, son". Not sure how "son" fits in, but I'll give it a try anyways. Thanks 'slamdance69bro'! I've added it to the pic of the super secret spot above and will allow my readers to track the results here.

A really long day of driving, for a relatively short surf session. Actually I didn't drive, but I did have to sit in the 'extended' portion of an 'extended cab' truck. Needless to say there was not much 'extending' going on. If it wasn't for all the Miller Highlifes I think my knees would have been permanently frozen into a 65° angle by the end of the 16 hour day. All said and done it was totally

I ran across this pic the other day in a Stab Magazine photo expose of North Shore surfer girls. Naturally you think I'm a perv for posting this, but to be honest with you it wasn't the smokin' hot naked chicks that caught my eye...it was the Hunter Green walls, the wood headboard, and the sliding door leading out to the backyard, that made me look at this pic approx. 50 times.

The last 2 surf sessions have been huge confidence boosters. Not even the fridged waters of the mighty Elwah River, nor the below average temps at the Cove can make this surfer pee in his new wet suit. I can do this! And to think some guy was concerned enough to ask me about my picture taking because he thought I may be leaking pics on to the interweb and exposing this spot.Sunday I found myself

I think I got to this one first! I haven't seen any other blogs pimpin' this shit yet- Curl Girls. Even though there's only been 4 episodes it's already my new favorite show. It the classic tale of 6 loveable californian ladies drawn together by two things- waves and pussy. That's right lesbian surfers competing for a trip to Hawaii and a new surfboard, and you can guess what kind of shenanigans

I'm going to go ahead and throw something out here- I do not pee in my wetsuit. Ok, I maybe I'm stretching the truth a little. It's more like- I do not pee in my current wetsuit. My current wetsuit, being brand new, or at least new to me, is the XCEL Infiniti 4/3 Drylock System.  Seeing the suit acts similar to a dry suit, it no longer allows for such guilty pleasures as stewing in your own urine

Supposedly they can surf. Plenty of pics of them carrying boards around, but not much action, and not a single video to be found. I'm pretty sure I would sell my soul to the devil to be the Partridge twins board caddy. When googling the twin's site I came across the Roxy Flickr page- I can just imagine what someone was thinking when they wrote the caption for this photo.

A 5AM wake up call, packed the car, brewed some coffee, and a few text messages later I was back in bed. Surf trip to Neah Bay postponed due to extended coastal wind advisory. I think it was a good call. Would have a been a really long day to get skunked. This will give me a chance to work on repairing my quad. WCT is back on- Quiksilver Pro. Seems to be an interesting start to the year- both

Only out of work for 5 months now and my life has been reduced to searching the interweb for recipes, browsing for jobs on craigslist.org, and weekly surf trips. Well today all the hard work has finally paid off- I found the perfect recipe for French Toast! Thank you STARFLOWER for opening my eyes to a new way to enjoy one of my favorite meals.

I spent most of this week keeping one eye on the surf report and the other on Craigslist. Even though Craigslist did provide a few decent job leads, it was the surf that put me back in a good mood. I'm also trying not to spend as much time on the Drudge Report & CNN which helps. It seems no news is good news these days.

I've been home for a week and I still have the post vacation blues. Of course I'm stoked to be back for a few obvious reasons, but I can't seem to shake the feeling that I pissed away my time in Bali. I could have surfed more, taken more pictures, traveled further...too many things I missed out on, but at the time I thought I was moving fast enough. Now that I'm home, and looking for a job, I

Feeling back to normal and surfed the main reef yesterday for a few hours. Received a cut worthy of stitches, and urchin spins in my foot. Butterfly bandage and some crazy Asian antiseptic worked just as well. A new guest at the house, who just happens to be a ER doctor back in Seattle, said it looks ok and I shouldn't have any issues going back in the water this afternoon. The spines aren't deep

It's my last few days here and I seemed kind of lost. I know that I'm leaving soon so I'm affraid to get wrapped up in planning any sort of adventures. Being sick yesterday didn't help either. It was more like the perfect storm of sickness. I surfed in the AM and when I got back I was feeling sore and had a thumping headache...I'm pretty sure I was dehidrated, my stomach was outta wack so I

Belongan lineup first thing in the AM. Swell picked back up a few days ago. I spent the first day surfing Belongan and Dreamland with Eric and Made (Maw-day). Belongan wasn't barreling, but it was alot bigger, and just as fast as the first time I surfed there. Even though it was pretty crowded I was able to get into a few set waves. Dreamland was fun, but nothing special. I made a bunch of the

A few more days without new swell. Still plenty of waves at Canggu reef in the morning and evening sessions. Eric had some words with a few tourist surfers in the water the other afternoon. Only a few dudes in the water and these guys were paddling around the locals and then blowing waves most the time. Eric was pretty polite and told them to show some respect for the locals.

The Bukit is where I need to be. Canggu is great and all, but the Bukit is what I came here to surf. I think I may find a cheap place out there for a week when the house clears out again. some Zumies guys are coming in today so I'll see if I still want to hang out. Yesterday I surfed Bulongan beach and Padang Padang. Padang was nothing like the usual pictures you see in the mags. It was about

It's real hot. Hottest days they've had in years I guess. Lots of sitting in front of a fan during the peaks hours of the day. Surfing only early in the AM and again before sunset. My last few days of surf have not been as ideal as the first day at Uluwatu. I've been surfing at the local spot down the road from the house called Canggu reef. Pretty strange setup with a few breaks on the reef and a

Getting here wasn’t worth talking about, just 3 flights for a total of 26 hours. I think I slept for about 4 of them. Once I landed Erich pretty much had everything covered for me; directions to the house with a number for the driver to call when we got lost, a surfboard, and scooter rental already lined up. He also put me in touch with an old friend Franklin, who was driving out to Uluwatu the

Spent the weekend visiting Heidi in San Fran. We lucked out with the weather. The forecast was calling for rain, but ended up being sunny most of the time. Did some hiking, eating, drinking, and clubbing...good times. Just got a call out of the blue from my old companies competitor, they heard I was let go and want me to work for them now. They're trying to create a full-time gig for me, but have

Thanks to the surf I was able to keep the whole job thing off my mind. I ended up making 2 separate trips to the coast with PK, Peterson, and Kev. Waves were a little junky early Saturday, but the afternoon session was glassy and the interval seemed to clean up. Sunday started off with a little bump in the swell and some strong offshore winds that eventually backed off later in the day and made

All good things come to an end. Yesterday I received an unexpected early morning call from my CTO. He explained there was no rush to come in the office because once I got there I would handed my walking papers. At the same time he offered advice on who I should call if I wanted to find some immediate contract work. It sounds kinda harsh, but if you knew the guy you'd understand it was his way of

Summer is fading away and it seems as though I've been concentrating on work a little more. Strange how that works huh? I'm sure the fall/winter swells will help draw my attention away. Kev and I actually talked about surfing tomorrow, but swell not working out as we expected.I had to sit through a meeting with a vendor today were we talked about MySQL replication for hours. I really had to try

Today I logged onto my Smugmug site to upload the weekend pics I noticed someone left a comment. I was expecting the usual kind words from Mom or maybe some random person telling me I have a nice camera (uh...thanks), but to my surprise this month's comment (yes, I only have 33 comments total after like 4 years) was one telling me "...don't be a sell out". Yeah, someone had the balls to offer me

I'm not a huge fan of La Push, although every time I go I manage to have a good time. It's hard for me not to have a good time with my crew of friends, and once you throw waves into the equation...no matter where we go I enjoy myself. But if you were to ask me where I wanted to go it would not be La Push. I'd say the people who hang out there are about the closest thing to the Appalachian

I brought my new Canon G9 along this weekend to help document what turned out to be an extremely successful camp trip on the coast. I'm really stoked on the image quality of low ISO settings and manual functionality. It's defiantly going to lighten my load of camera gear on short trips and day hikes.The first night we had to put up with a little rain, but the weather cleared up and remained sunny

About 20 miles of paddling around San Juan Island this past weekend and I'm not even sore. Either the kayaking trip on the Columbia a week before prepared me or I'm going to wake up tomorrow and not be able to move my arms. Hell, even if I was sore for a few day it would still have been worth it. The idea of actually owning a kayak doesn't sound that bad anymore. It's just below a 15ft Zodiac w/

Last Saturday night El Corazon hosted the final performance of Himsa. The over-capacity heavy metal mayhem seemed to be the only appropriate way to end Himsa's 10yr roller coaster ride. Of course the show was held on one of the hottest days of the year at a venue that's notorious for being a sweat-box, and famously slow on drink orders. If you didn't break sweat being crushed in the pit you would

A hectic week. The only thing that allowed me to keep my sanity was 3 separate trips to the coast. It started out when I returned Sunday night from surfing at Westport and found someone from Puget Sound Energy probing around for the source to a gas leak. Turned out our gas line to the dryer started leaking somehow. Jackie came home after having a drink to find our place filled with gas, and

Plenty of action on the hill this weekend so I would avoid Pike st. between 10th and 14th unless you have a ticket to the Capital Hill Block Party. Chances are you'll find me there at least one of the days even though I'm not a huge fan of festival style events. Jackie has arranged entry for us so I have the option of going to both days, or to go surf, without feeling the guilt of paying for

Reports are coming in that the surf was really fun on Sunday and kinda it's lame that I missed it seeing the waves have just not materialized for me this summer. I've heard from more than a few friends how good it ended up being and how everyone is totally surfed out...blah blah blah. I kinda get the feeling they're trying to rub it in and I let `em go on about for a few minutes before knocking

It's time to get back to bloggin'. I fell off the wagon there for awhile and didn't have the motivation to write about anything I guess. It's not that my life became some mundane existence by any means, but bloggin' just didn't seem to fit in.

Vails parking garages are maxed out every weekend and even some weekdays. When I lived there it would only happen a few days out of the entire season. Well thanks to my friends we didn't have to pay for a single lift ticket while we were there. Brent even

I spent half the weekend surfing and the other half snowboarding. Conditions weren't perfect for either, but pretty close. A foot of fresh snow and sun would be optimal. I settled for soft, slightly slushy, and sunshine. Perfect conditions for hiking the Summit U-Jump. Surf was offshore, sunny, and provided a few cover-ups for those lucky enough to get into `em. Crowds were more than I expected

What have I been up to? Not much surfing and no new pictures unfortunately. Lots of snowboarding, a little bit of work, few days of the flu, working on a new website, and getting ready for a trip to Vail and another to the North Shore.We're also finally getting started on our basement remodel. The plumbing foundation is in and permitting process has begun. Although the guy doing the

Josh over sidewalk gapSpent a long weekend in SunPeaks with a really great crew of people- Jackie,Josh,D,Mary,Vince,Etty,Nate. Everyone was a solid rider so we didn't have to wait much or worry about what color run we were on. And if we did ditch someone we just kept going and eventually we'd find `em on another run. No bitching or complaining either.Lots of jibbing and riding at top speeds.

Also back to the 16" of fresh up in the pass, surf on the coast, my own bed, and Jackie.I was wrong...actually some surf back home while I was there- see here.

Heading to Florida tonight. No chance of surf while I'm there. I wish I could say I got my fill this past weekend...I can't remember the last time I thought I was surfed out. Past weekend- 2 trips to the coast, one a bust, and the other was pretty fun. Sunday morning surfed with about 25 other doods. Plenty of hollow waves to be had for all...as long as you don't mind pulling into closeouts,

I have 5 days to make a name for myself at what is considered surfings ultimate proving grounds and leave a lasting impression on the surf elite who dedicate a lifetime to the 7 mile stretch of sand. Some where in those 5 days I'm also going to have to find time to squeeze in some hooker ass slappin' and cheap beer drinkin' to celebrate the last days of Clem's

Anyways if I was to head out I wouldn't have cell or email access because virtually all the coastal cities don't have power;) Instead I stayed home to watch 'Second Thoughts' the Timmy Turner movie about going 'feral' on an empty indo island.

Can't say the surf was anywhere near spectacular on Saturday, it was freakin' cold, and the drive home through the snow sucked...so extends my streak of crappy surf sessions. Recently is seems like I've been a day, even hours, late for classic fall surf. All I need is one good day and the past few weeks will be forgotten.

Checked the surf this morning with Kev...He drives like an old lady and he needs to erase all the songs on his iPod. Nothing exciting happening on the water- too full and a little small to surf. We made it back in time for my 10am meeting...I wish I would have missed it.

Highlight was watching Drex paddle out into some big nasty shit to catch one of the few nice waves that came through...then pay for it. I had a perfect view from the beach to witness one of the biggest sets

No surf for me this weekend. Saturday looked like a mess, and Sunday...we dropped the ball. I wanted to go in one direction and everyone else wanted to go in another. No one was really amped on driving. I should have gone alone. Instead I slept in and did a few things around the house until Drex called and wanted to check out Ebey. He'd never been there and I had nothing better to do. I was

Looks like plenty of surf on the way...maybe too much...if there is such thing. It's more like unsurfable surf, but I'm sure I'll be heading out anyways.
