June 20th 2010 – Wounded Warrior Surf Camp 1st Street Virginia Beach

I’ll be working on the photos from Zeke’s Lil Rat Surfcus tonight after work…I really wanted to get the Wounded Warriors stuff up ASAP as I feel it’s the least I can do for those men and women. 

Wounded Warrior Surf Camp Photos are available by clicking on the image below…these shots are free of any watermarks and higher than  normal resolution so the participants can use them as they see fit, I hope you like them.

April 16th Movie Party at Hooks….

…for The Joneses, Written and Directed by Virginia Beach’s Derrick Borte

I just received this email from Mr. Ken Hunt, so please check out the movie and join the party afterwards at Hooks.

This is your cordial invitation to the East Coast Premier of the movie, The
Jones!  What makes this particularly special, is it was written and directed
by one of our very own Virginia Beach locals, Derrick Borte!  This is truly
a unique opportunity to view the movie and come to the after party for a
meet and greet with Derrick Borte and some other VIP dignitaries that will
be on hand at Hooks immediately following the movie.  I hope everyone comes
out to show support for one of our local boys making it to the big screen
this Friday 4/16!  Although it will be playing at theaters all over town,
the beach crew will all be meeting at the Strawbridge theater to view the
movie around 7:00(the exact time will be posted on Thursday).  We hope to
see you there!

Cheers,

Ken

Things to do and I think I fixed a lens…

In my never ending quest to find things to do when there’s no surf ( Aquarium, Zoo, Dolphin Watches, Admirals Games etc.)  I’ve decided to revisit something I haven’t done in over 30 years.

Ryan at SurfKDH.com and myself are planning on checking out some Short Track action at Langley Speedway in Hampton this Saturday night.

If anybody is interested check out the Tracks website at http://www.langley-speedway.com

Stay tuned for photos of the action…..

….on a good note, I think  I have finally patched together my broken 400 2.8, here are a few samples from last nights first test.

You wish you could have caught this fish....

I’M BACK!

Let this be a lesson to you kids…UPDATE THE SECURITY PATCHES ON YOUR WEBSITE SOFTWARE!

Yours truly had an old version of the photo gallery still sitting on his website, and some jack@$$ found a way to install some script that was sending out phishing emails, so I was shut down for most of the day.

The issue has been resolved and the photos will be coming up soon.

JTWALK.ORG

Hey Everyone, I’m in the process of setting up a page for a good cause. JTWALK.ORG is going to be having a walk to raise Money and Awareness for ALS (Lou Gherig’s Disease) victims.

Local Surfer Josh Thompson who was stricken with this disease is the inspiration for this event which will be taking place on Sunday October 19th 2008 at 31st Street in Va Beach…

from the JTWalk.Org website…

“The ALS Association raise monies through events and contributions to both assist families in need and to further research! One event is their “WALK FOR THE CURE”. Josh is not in need personally financially – he is in need emotionally and wants to participate in the “ALS WALK FOR THE CURE” and hopes his friends and family (all of which have asked repeatedly “what can we do?”) will join him on Sunday, October 19, 2008.

One hundred percent (100%) all money raised on October19 will go to the ALS Association – DC/MD/VA Chapter to further drug therapies and stem cell research, etc”

I am in the process of setting up a page where anybody who donates through my link will be elligible for a free photo off this site, this includes any decent shots I may get at the Boost Mobile Pro at Trestles next week.

$10.00 to $24.99 donation – Computer Wallpaper of the image of your choice at your requested screen resolution.

$25.00 to 40.00  donation - Two 5×7 inch prints of the image(s) of your choice

$41.00 to $75.00 donation - An 8×10 inch print of the image of your choice

$76.100 to $100.00 donation – An 11×17 inch print of the image of your choice

$101.00 to $150.00 donation – A 13×19 inch print of the image of your choice

Anything over $150 and I’ll throw in a 20×30 inch poster print of the image of your choice.

Just use this link http://fightals.alsinfo.org/goto/wrightcoastsurf to make your donation and once you have done so, just place an order on WrightCoastSurf.com using the image sizes with JTWalk.org in the drop down. I will match up the orders with the donations and process them as soon as possible.

For more information on ALS please visit FightALS.org or check out this video for the MDA and Augie’s Quest to see how this disease can pretty much strike anybody at anytime in their life. This video is for a different charity for the same disease, but the message should still be the same.

September 2nd 2008…

I spent yesterday in Hatteras with Joe Gillen, shooting in a few different locations. Photos should be posted by noon today.

Heading to the Boost Mobile Pro at Trestles on Saturday, hoping Hanna doesn’t cause my flights to be delayed.

Vacation 2008 Starts tonight!

Tomorrow I’ll be heading down to Rodanthe for my annual week on the Beach. I’m hoping we get a swell like last years 3 days of fun and maybe a good thunderstorm or two.

Anyway a few things that I’m planning on attending in the next 10 Days:

Aug 15th at the Attic (above Watermans) @ 8:30pm Billabong Presents Surfers the Movie Then & Now    

billabong.jpg

                                      

August 16th – I’ll be at the Rip Curl Grom Search in Kitty Hawk (unless this is pushed back to the 17th, then I may or may not be there)

ripcurl-grom.jpg

August 20th – @ Bonnet St from 2 to 4pm I will be in Nags Head to get some photos of Rip Curl riders Mick Fanning, Tom Curren, Pancho Sullivan and Taylor Knox.

ripcurl_raid.jpg

I’ll end up the week back home in Va Beach shooting the final two days of the 46th Annual East Coast Surfing Championships.

 Then it’s an entire 2 weeks at home until I head back to California for a week of nothing but shooting.

California Photo Session Sept 6 thru 13, 2008

boostmobilepro2008.jpg

We’ll be here.

Tickets are booked and joining me on the trip will be Brad Styron and John Barnes for a week in Southern California. If any other East Coasters are planning on being out there, let Brad or Myself know if you’re interested in a Left Coast photo session.

Going back to Cali…$200 Round Trips

I’m back in Va Beach for now. Hopefully we’ll have some surf this week.

Big news is, I’ll be back in California for the Boost Mobile Pro Presented by Hurley at Trestles from September 7th thru 13th. This is good for two reasons.

  1. I’ll get to shoot a pro contest at a spot I’ve never been to before
  2. This pretty much Guarantees I’ll miss epic surf in Va Beach and the Outer Banks

I’ve also found some decent deals on rental cars, if anyone needs any info drop me an email.

F.Y.I. As of today Sunday July 20th Continental Airlines has round trips to Los Angeles and San Diego from Norfolk for $198.00 plus about 35 bucks in fees. People flying out of Raleigh can fly into Orange County for the same price. These prices have been the same for the last three days, not sure how long this will last, and I’ve checked dates as late as the week after Thanksgiving.

word,

john

Greetings from California

 Greetings from California

I took a bus to Santa Monica pier last night, hoping to shoot some surf and or the sunset. Unfortunately, there was No Surf and the fog showed up the same time I did and the sunset was shot.

santa-monica-pier.jpg

So to this point I have practically no photos of my first trip to California. We’ll see if that changes as I’m hoping to head down to Huntington Beach / Newport Beach in the morning for a few hours.

I need to come out here just to take pictures…I found some round trips from Norfolk for less than 300 bucks!

May 13- Good Surf – No Lens!

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.
