Eventide As the tides from the ocean constantly change, it's during the transition of a high tide moving to a low tide that the tide is at its lowest level for the day many times exposing larger shorelines and creating larger beaches temporarily. When we have a low tide during the golden hour of sunset the time of day is often referred to as Eventide. In naming this piece it seemed perfect for a title capturing the effects of a tide and the beauty of the horizon. The Path Ahead
Day Dream
Fractured
Fractured Taken in Maui, this larger than life wave shatters right in front of your eyes. Fractured, like glass, this piece draws you in with its mixture of crystal clear hues and multitude of bright, vivid blues. You can see the powerful forces that make this wave, as well as the gentle elegance the wave creates as it breaks apart and dances into the open air. Showing us the true forces of nature. Scripps Pier at DuskThis has treasured spot for me under this bridge. The towering concrete columns reaching out into the ocean. The geometry is the perfect contrast the unbreakable waves. As someone who relishes in sunsets over the water, I seem to forget that reflection of color over the water is simply that, a reflection. I’m so used to looking out and seeing such vibrancy on the water that it’s easy to believe the water itself is painted orange or red. In this image it looks as if someone painted the columns down into the bright orange ocean. I am so drawn to massive clouds sailing over the beautiful sunset, pulling with them the royal blues of the night sky.  
Hush II
I took this in the beginning of my exploration with abstract photography on a warm afternoon just as the swell was changing again for the evening tide. You can see the different directions that the waves were being pulled in, making for a beautifully scattered reflection of the sunset. I find it enchanting how the soft yellows of the sunset bleed into the deep shadows of the ocean and clouds creating that perfect pink. This piece just emanates peace and warmth, and comforts the mind. ImmerseIn this piece I feel I was able to depict the first light of the crisp morning colors through artist’s eyes. Rather than capture the view, I wanted to focus on capturing the feeling and mood of this calm morning. I’d spent the earliest hours of the morning going for a sunrise surf. It was my favorite part of the day, this moment; Sitting on the sand with my salty cold skin being warmed by the newly risen sun and the remaining adrenaline still swimming in my veins. I was completely awake with the ocean and the day was as fresh as the cool water. The cool crisp colors in this picture really capture that feeling of gentle clarity that this morning brought. The brisk silvers you see were created from the ocean water rushing into the lagoon, that’s why the strokes of sand and earth lay before the foreground becomes sharp blue ocean once again. This piece just ignites a gentle exhilaration for me, the calmness that I seek when starting my day. 
Turks and PalmsI took this image on the first day of vacation with my wife from the beach on an island of Turks and Caicos. We sat there on the white sand under the shade of the palms eating our breakfast and looking out into the teal galaxy, because that’s what it was, another world. In this moment we were in such marvelous serenity that it felt as if we couldn’t possibly be in the same universe in which the stresses of life existed. Peering out from between the palm leaves, looking out upon the endless perfection of water I found such a peace, and now whenever I stare into this image I feel that same same weight of the world seem to slip away. I love this piece because to me it holds the kind of rejuvenation my soul can rest into.
