I wish I could say there is a really good reason why I have not been sharing some of my past shoots….I wish I could say that…but, having a full time normal job, having a wife, an infant son, two dogs and trying to make a photography business work…Other stuff just comes up…  I hope all that are reading this understand that….

Speaking of my normal job…. People often ask if I will ever leave that to become a full time photographer…  I can say honestly, I have no plans to ever leave my job…Photography as a full time source of income is not as easy as it once was…Just ask the entire photography staff at the Chicago Sun Times… My job gives me the freedom to pursue photography…  I am fortunate to not have to rely on it as my sole source of income, and for those that do…I have ALL the respect in the world…  The reason I bring this up…is because I work for a great place, I have the freedom to come in late to the office…  From time to time, I will check the forecast and then go right to my meeting calendar…If I have no meetings, or pressing deadlines…My first meeting will be with the beach…

One such “meeting” was back in May…and boy it was worth it… Here are some of those shoots….

You know it will be a good day, when this is one of your first clicks...

Good waves bring out the good talent...  Local Jake Halstead 

Don't know who this was...but he ripped the entire morning...

One of my favorites from this morning...

I am not one for defacing public property, but, I think the street name should offically be changed... Playa Del Sur(f)

How could you sit in a cubical knowing this was out there...

Another one of Jake Halstead Killing it...

The guy out the back SCORED one the best waves all morning....
