Everybody’s Going Surfin’
Hunting Beach and Santa Cruz have nothing on Waikiki Beach when it comes to the name "Surf City".

Afternoon Action
The pace picks up as the day goes on. Spontaneous cart wheel.
"Walls" is one of my favorite spots to photograph around Waikiki. Local kids gather here to boogie board, jump off the jetty and hang out. In the afternoon there's always something happening.

Photos and Fishing
They seemed to be in two separate worlds. She, absorbed in photography. He, looking for fish to spear.
And, I'm in mine.

Waikiki
Pakalika after a early morning surf.
When people ask me to snap a photo of them with their camera I always ask if I can take one with mine. A classic early morning Waikiki moment, calm water, soft light, clouds and a young couple enjoying it.

Aloha!
Just back from a trip to Oahu where I focused my photographic attention on Waikiki Beach. I'll be posting some photos from the trip as I develop the film, make contact sheets and edit the images. Meanwhile, today's photo was made with Holga 120S. Printed on a newish photo paper, Ilford MG ART 300. It's a beautiful paper for Holga images. It's super textured, making it excellent for hand coloring. I took the photo last year on Waikiki Beach and hand colored it recently.

International Surfing Day
Today is the first day of summer and International Surfing Day! I took a camera with me to the beach this morning but it was so foggy I couldn't see the water. So, I pulled a couple of old surfing photos out of the archives, circa 1979. This one was taken at Main Beach in Byron Bay, NSW, Australia.
I took this one at Lennox Head, NSW, Australia. I bought an inexpensive telephoto lens in Fiji and thought I was going to be a surf photographer. Click on the photos for a cleaner view!

LA Encounter
What could be more LA than a chance encounter with an America's Top Model contestant and production crew on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. Cameras were rolling, roles were played, I snapped a few photos and signed a release for CW. Who knows, maybe I'll make the cut?
