thank you to my surfing buddies!

love, cancer, etc.

San Francisco Magazine interview!

one morning two years ago i saw these surfers in the water outside my window in pacifica. i went down to the beach with my XT and 100-400mm and started photographing them. after surfing, kevin (on the left) came up to me with a big smile, and that began a friendship that has become one of the most important in my life. i became their "personal photographer" for the next two years. kevin and i keep in touch on the phone almost every week, and i have a deep love for him.

last week these incredible friends surprised me with an extremely generous gift certificate to amazon.com. what i wish i could buy with it is a trip to the past, where i'm on the beach again and they're in the water riding great waves, and then we go out for coffee at lucca's again!

thank you for your love and care, kevin and matt and sean and conor and all of the group. i love you. xoxox


When I'm living in Nevada, I am going to miss these guys more than I can say - for the last couple of years I've had the great opportunity to be their surfing photographer and photograph them early in the mornings. This morning we got together at 6 a.m. and they had some good waves!

Thanks, guys, for everything. Much love.
