Hurricane Danielle 08.30.10

"Season Opener"
Day one of Hurricane Season 2010 came rolling in and the action was hot. Shot taken of Jesse Hines local pro surfer from top the Avon Pier on Hatteras Island. Check out my website for other shots of today's swell in a couple of days as I labor thru the images.

"PROMO SHOT"

"The PR Project"
Everyday is a new day and a new adventure here on the shores of the OBX. I shot some opening promo shots and working on a CD cover idea for Paul Rowlen's new band and release coming soon. I think were on the right track here.

"A Treasure Of Life"

"PaPa's Pal"
I could not stand it any longer. I took a trip north to Cleveland, OH., for two reasons. One I was shooting a wedding south of there but most of all for my Grandson's "First Birthday". Since that time a little over a week I've been doing the red eye on this computer with hundreds of wedding photos to edit. It's 1:00 AM and I can't wait any longer so I uploaded one CF card of images from the day before his birthday. I wont't boar you with family traditions but I brought along for him this little Chicago Cubs Teddy Bear and of course had to give it to him a day early, along with a photo shoot. That's what Grandpaw's do !! Here is the birthday boy and his mother and his bear (Dad's at work so he didn't know about the bear yet). Oh ya he walked his first solo steps (that was his gift to me); Thank You Isaac. :)

"Ohio Wedding"

"Tieing the Knot"
Thanks Robin & Sam, I had a great time shooting your wedding photography in Penninsula, Ohio. The lodge was a great location and your wedding was awesome. Your images are coming along so hang in there a few more days. Looking forward to seeing you guys again next year at Erin's & Tim's wedding.

"Young Guns"

"RIP CURL GROM SEARCH SURF CONTEST"

Nothing is like the OBX when the Atlantic Ocean begins to stir from miles out, and Sunday's contest was nothing less than perfect for the young and up coming shreaders to show their skills. These guys and girls came from both coast as well as far down as Barados. The ground swell keep the action pumping for the whole day as heat after heat narrowed down the finals.
