Pipeline, March 30, 2011
One of the last big swells of the season at Pipeline, late in the afternoon. Lots of colors.
Waimea Bay, February 20th, 2011
The Quicksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau Contest at Waimea Bay was a no-go today, but there was plenty of beautiful shorebreak to shoot and there are still six weeks left in the holding period. Contest or no contest, there were plenty of big waves to admire.

Wedge-Tailed Shearwater: ‘U’au kani
Wedge-tailed shearwaters, native to Hawai’i, are nesting out on the Mokolua Islands these days…
Green Anole
Snapping some shots of this green anole lizard almost made me late for my meeting today. 99.9% of the time I only see brown anoles around here, but in the last week or so I’ve seen three green ones. I spent some time watching him (her?) change colors from flat brown to a tan gray to bright green. At their most colorful they have light blue all around their eyes. He/she still has some bits left to molt. I would have liked to see him display his throat fan (dewlap), I’ve heard that they can be bright pink instead of the usual bright orange of the brown anoles. The green anole is the only anole native to the United States, but it is not native to Hawaii. It’s often referred to as a chameleon because of its color-changing abilities, but it isn’t technically a chameleon: that’s a completely different animal.
Beach Wedding!
A few photos from a recent beach wedding with some very photogenic friends…

Pipeline – January 31, 2010
Some recent experimental shots from the Volcom Pipeline Pro on the day of the semi-finals. Experimental on a couple of different levels: although the waves were amazing, it wasn’t a particularly spectacular day for light and so I decided to spend more time post-processing.
Pipeline: January 31, 2010
17-year-old John John Florence made it to the semi- finals in the Volcom Pipeline Pro. In 2005, he was the youngest competitor ever in the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing.
Waimea Valley Sunrise
A recent photo snapped as I was on my way to check out the shorebreak at Waimea.
Waimea Shorebreak
A 2 minute video I made before the Eddie Aikau contest began on December 8. As much as I was watching the peak, it was difficult to not be hypnotized by the shorebreak…
Moonrise
Happy December! It was an especially beautiful moonrise over the Mokulua Islands tonight.
