A couple photos before the sound pushed back in...

Irene_Aftermath

Spent most of yesterday in Salvo_Waves_Rodanthe.

It is a war zone up there.

Going back up there today to help clean.

People have lost everything.

A few pics of some of the devastation...

Pray for the people here.

Pre_Irene_Panoramics

Went out to the sound this evening to watch the sunset.

It was really calm out,

almost spooky...

Should start seeing some of Irene's first bans come ashore tomorrow...

It's going to be interesting...

The second pan turned out a little wonky...

On_a_Boat

This photo was inspired by Matt Lusk.

He has some really cool boat shots on his site right now.

This was during the Rip Curl Grom Search.

I bet it sure was pretty out on that boat.

Enjoy.

Black_n_White_Fisheye

Messed around the other day with Fisher and Brett.

Too shallow to swim..

Ran around the lineup with my housing..

Hasselhoff style.

Enjoy.

Thunder_Clouds

There have been some crazy clouds around the past few days.

Kate_Pullen_Photo

My wife took this yesterday.

1/1600th of a second.

One in a million.

Good work, Kate.

Might have to give you a raise

 and

change the name of the business...

Enjoy.

Alex_Gray

This is from last years ISD.

International Surfing Day.

Alex and Brett tried to ride ferry wake.

Which didn't really work out to well.

This was on the way in.

I made Alex stand with his board for a few photos.

Kinda ended up being a real moody photo.

Out_of_Focus

Sometimes things are just out of focus...

Wanted to take some underwater portraits yesterday at the jetties.

They turned out really cool, 

except,

they are all out of focus...

Live and Learn.
