What initially motivated and drew you in to photography?

My initial draw to photography was a common one … to capture memorable moments in time to show family and friends… and more selfishly to not forget special moments spent by the sea.

What inspiration does your photography draw from our ocean, waves, and beaches?

My work is heavily influenced by surf culture and the oceanic playground surfers enjoy as often as possible.  I usually turn my lens more on line ups and quaint seaside dwellings that evoke a simpler life.
