This is a photo I shot for a school project where the assignment was to shoot a religious leader. This is my favourite shot from the day. This shot came to be as almost a mistake I had to readjust some lights that were behind the stain glass and thats when I envisioned this shot

Tower Under the Moon
Wednesday, September 18, 2013
Long Exposure of a Lifeguard tower in Newport Beach Ca. The Exposure was approximately 17mins from what I can remember. It was taken with a Canon 7D at about 10 o'clock at night. the white line right above the sand is the whitewash from waves illuminated so slightly by the moon. The skyline looks all washed away because it was quite windy out so it is the motion of the clouds moving over the 17 minutes. The colors are not manipulated at all it is the naturally color created under the moonlight conditions and possibly some tint from the boardwalk lights.

EZ Twin

Photo of Trevor Oosterhof riding his hand shaped twin fin. This is a part of the Ezekiel team archive I have started to compile from doing a couple shoots for them and the Shop Collective boys. Always stoked to be able to help out. Shot with a Canon 7D.

Skies the Limit
Sunday, September 15, 2013
Just Messing Around with my water housing in some small California shore break. Took this using my Nikon FE and the 1970s water housing I have for it. Soon I hope to try it out in some bigger surf but pretty stoked on how this shot came out if only it was bigger. Shot with 400 ASA Kentmere Black&White film.

Scientific Bottom Turn
Thursday, September 12, 2013
This is a Photo of Ezekiel Team rider Kip Scientist. I took this photo with a Nikon FE using 35mm color film. I used an Ikelite water housing that was made for this camera. This was the first roll of film that I shot using the water housing and I was stoked on how the results came out. Getting lined up for water shots at beach breaks is a little tricky due to the randomness of peaks that come in. Thanks to my viper swim fins I was able to maneuver fairly easily with 8-10 pounds of camera and water housing(1970s steeze).

Small House

Took this a while back with my Nikon FM. It was my first roll of color film with that camera. I'm not sure of the exposure and aperture but I used a handheld light meter to get the correct exposure measuring the highlights and shaw does then choosing an exposure to balance the two. This is one of my favorite urban shots.
Today is the anniversary of 9/11, bless all the families that lost a loved one.

Taken Somewhere in Central California. I took this shot with a 35mm Nikon FE coming down the coast on a surfing/ camping trip with one of my other buddies. We spent 5 nights in 5 different cities and traveled 1500 miles. Each day we had no clue what we were doing / where we were going. This picture represents the limitlessness of a road trip.

50 Shades of Purple
Tuesday, September 10, 2013
Every once in a while a Sunset is something you just can not pass up. Despite some popular belief that a picture of a sunset is a quick one too and that's just what you get this photo would be impossible for your iphone to take unless you have some alternative apps and a lot of time. Normally the background of this would be over exposed or the foreground just a silhouette. And for you brainiacs out there this isn't 2 photos the tones and exposure would still be off of what i was trying to achieve.

This is from the Orange County Fairgrounds earlier this year. Taken with my Canon 7D the exposure was about 10 seconds. This is one of many long exposures I have taken lately as I have been experimenting with them. I have been doing quite a bit of them with my 35mm camera which can be tricky due to the Reciprocity Law Failure.
