Shots from Day 1 of the 2008 STEEL PIER CLASSIC - Yeah I overexposed most of them, I can fix them if anybody needs prints etc.

I also need a shot of Bill ‘Cookie’ Cooke getting Hula Lessons, if anybody has one please email me, I want to post it right here…I’ll trade an 8×10 print for it!

May 14th 2008 Va Beach -

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

I still don’t have the long lens to replace the one I broke…so I decided to go with the 200 and shoot from the Jetty…now I need to sell some photos to pay for that ticket!

I’ll have more shots from the mid-afternoon but the break kind of far out for the 200mm so I’ll have to edit most of them.

May 13- Good Surf - No Lens!

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

It looks like the forecasts are calling it close to epic the next couple of days and I’m still without a big lens.  Just to set the record straight - Cookie did not break my 400mm, we just needed somebody to blame and he was right there when it happened. :-)

Anyway, my plans are to shoot in Va Beach on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, with the possibility of taking all day Wednesday off. I won’t have the usual reach but I should be able to manage. My hopes are plenty of lefts heading towards the jetty!

see ya on the beach.
