Photos from work

So it's been awhile since I've been here. Got a new job shooting photos for Ko Olina Resort. I shoot photos for their dolphin snorkel tours. It's an awesome job with awesome pay.

Here are a couple shots from work. This day wasn't the best lighting was pretty bad.

Animals

Some photos of some animals I encountered last year during my travels.

White Tigers

Old Photo

Found an old photo of Dusty Payne i took awhile ago. I think this was winter of 08.

Dry Gills

Haven't gone diving in so long. I love spearfishing but when I moved to australia last year I kind of got out of it.I didn't have anyone to go with. When I finally got back the weather conditions have been so junk. I had a good trip in Kauai and that's about it. My gills have gone dry.

Another one down

Broke my magic stick last week. Kailua Shore break's been pumping.

On another note I sured really fun Rocky Point yesterday with barely anyone out. Face planted into the reef at Rocky Right's. Thank God I landed on a soft spot.

Injured Kelly Slater wins Ripcurl Pro Bells Beach for the fourth time.

Kelly won again ... with an injury. Kelly's a freak we all know this, I don't know why the heck I counted him out and didn't put him on my fantasy surfer team. Well Still got my self placed at 18th out of thousands of people.

As for me not much has been going on. The ocean is finally taking a little break. The waves have been flat all week, another bump in swell this weekend. North Shore still pumping out some juice!

nephew!

Its been a few days now since I've last posted. This blogging thing is hard to keep up with, but I set myself out to do it so I'm going to stick with it. I am really excited to a new addition to my family. My oldest sister Jen is having a baby. Here's a pic of the little guy.

A little scared for the little guy, this is what his mom looked like as a child. Haha only kidding Jen, love ya!

Well that's it for me, I have to pee really bad. I'll be sure to keep updating if anyone is checking this out.

sSs

Saturday night Brittany,Noah, and I went to town to meet up with the sSs crew. (Surf Skate Surender) Its basically a bunch of friends who get together to fellowship,worship and praise God, and go out into the community to give back. We meet up Saturday nights at Pali Safeway to feed the homeless in Chinatown. It's a blessing to be able to go out there and give back what we can, whether it be food, our time, or love. God blesses us so that we may be able to bless others.

Here are a few photos of us messing around that night.

She's not homeless, just trying to put on a sad face and not doing the best job.

I love her!

Free diving the YO-257

This past Friday 3/26 I went for a dive with some friends Cj and Tony. We decided to go out for a late afternoon dive on a ship wreck called the YO-257. I am not too sure what the maximum depth was out there, I think it was a bit over 100ft. We got some cool photos, unfortunately my water housing couldn't go down too deep and I was using my fish eye so I couldn't get shots of the actual wreck. It was a good day to jump in the water and have some fun!

Congrats Rob and Rikki Wurlitzer!

Went to Robby and Rikki's wedding yesterday. It was really amazing! I got some really nice images from the wedding. I would post them, but I want the newly weds to be the first to have a look. They are enjoying a nice honey moon on Kauai right now. Have fun you too! ;)

Here are a few photos from the wedding. My lovely girlfriend and the newly weds!

Photos are out of focus but its all good

Rob and Rikki's Wedding!

Tomorrow is my close friends wedding, soon to be Rob and Rikki Wurlitzer! Today I am going to meet up with my good friend Nathan Carl of Freedom Riding. ( www.freedomridinghawaii.com )

He is letting me borrow some lenses to shoot the wedding for tomorrow, due to the fact that most of my lenses were stolen awhile ago. Thanks so much Nate!

Robby doing his thing.

Here's a photo of the lovely couple!

Going to go pick up my gorgeous girlfriend Brittany who I love so much. We are going to go to island snow, gotta get some shave ice! I'm really blessed to be living in Hawaii and to have such an amazing woman in my life!

Billy Kean Quarter Finals Tahiti

My good mate Billy Kean killed it in Tahiti in the TNS Rangiroa Pro Jr. last week. He got one of the highest heat scores of the comp with a combination score of 18.00. He scored himself a perfect ten in that heat. Putting him into the quarter finals. He's sitting 5th place over all on the ASP Australasia Jr. tour.

Keep it up man!
