Another good Wednesday crowd!!! feel free to leave comments and rate the images in the galleries, I’m thinking about putting together a photo-book at the end of the summer and may use that info when it comes time to choose the shots.
F.Y.I. anybody who ordered prints I will email you as soon as they arrive. I expect to have them with me next week if I haven’t already gotten in touch with you….thanks.
also…if for any reason somebody doesn’t want their photo or kids photo(s) on the site, email me, and I’ll remove them.

An even bigger crowd than last week… I’m still trying to get over being sick, and almost didn’t show up, but after sleeping most of the day, I figured I’d get out and see if some fresh air would do me right don’t think it did…but I did get some shots of everyone having fun. F.Y.I. to save time, and get these uploaded quickly, no editting was done on the images that are in the gallery. With the sun going down and shadows from the hotels some images may appear muddy compared to others, as an example below I have an editted and uneditted version of the same image. Any photos ordered will be editted for a better exposure.

Actually had some surf again this afternoon, showed up to take some pics of the Shadowlawn crew hanging out on the beach…didn’t realize how big the group has become since last summer, and was treated to some fairly decent surf. Even the Dolphin were having fun. I’ll be back down next Wednesday hopefully I can pull of a group photo before the sun goes away…..

Friday June 15th 2007 1st St Va Beach…..shot from about 6pm til it was too dark to shoot anymore. Some of the later shots may be extremely grainy due to high ISO and too much photoshopping because I rush everything….. Click on the shot of Jeff Meyers below to see the entire Gallery.

The contest is over, I was there pretty much the entire time and I have no idea who won what. I do know that Friday’s weather Sucked. It was Cold, Windy, Rainy, Drifty, Windy and Cold. I did manage a few shots during the day then headed off to Tortugas for the ‘BEST DAMN BURGER IN THE WORLD’… Click on the image below to view the photos from the from the 18th.
MAY 18TH ESA MID-ATLANTIC REGIONALS
 Saturday the 19th had much nicer weather and somewhat offshore winds for most of the day, though they kept switching around. Surf was still in the Head+ range breaking way outside. Couldn’t really see anything for the first couple of hours due to the sun and how far out the break was, so look at all the faces in the crowd shots from the early morning, then whatever surfing shots I grabbed during the remaineder of the day. See the photos from the Contest on the 19th by clicking the image below…..
MAY 19TH ESA MID-ATLANTIC REGIONALS
Around 5pm when the Contest was done for the day, I had decided to head to Hatteras, since we’d heard nothing but how good it was all day (Keep an eye on SURFKDH.COM for Micky’s photos). Noah Snyder told me about a place in town that he was going to, since he was judging all day and missed the Hatteras surf, so I headed there instead. Noah showed up, then Chris McDonald, Barry Price Jr and Ronnie Brooks joined in, with a couple of unnamed locals. All charging the shorebreak….Click on the Image below to view the Gallery from the evening of May 19th….
MAY 19TH KDH
…and finally May 20th 2007 the Final day of the ESA MID-ATLANTIC REGIONALS. The surf all but dissappeared overnight, but they still managed some decent sets and some good competition all the way up to the Tag-team challenge. I’ll post either a link to the results or the results if I get them.

F.Y.I. I JUST ADDED ABOUT 100 MORE PHOTOS TO THE APRIL 21 GALLERY THAT DIDN’T GET UPLOADED LAST NITE!Â
Decided to stay in town and shoot the contest instead of heading to the island, and even then I didn’t stay for the entire thing…surf was looking less consistant so I decided to bag it and come home. Lots of surfing photos, and a bunch of candid people shots on the beach, I think there are even a couple of the obligatory bird photos in the bunch along with Theresa on her borrowed horse….

Drove All the way down and Hung out with Mickey Mcarthy for most of the day shooting, Zach Kenny, Noah Snyder, Jesse Hines, Brett Barley, Joey Crum, Will Skudin and anyone else who happened to be there. Froze all morning…got a few shots, but the afternoon session was the best.
I was skunked in Puerto…zero surf, so I only have a few sunset shots and some tourist stuff to post whenever I get a chance.
