I discovered the other day that I had done the first photograph of this ilk way back in 2007 on a photograph that I liked a lot at the time but had forgotten about. This is from yesterday too.
Have had a productive morning doing stuff like packing a camera bag for a top secret trip [...]
I hope I spelled his name right. I’m not good with Estonian.
In theory – because theory is a wonderful thing – I was planning on being in New York with the ASP event today. That didn’t work out according to plan for so many reasons it’s not funny. Instead I have crashed out in Dublin [...]
The Battle for the Bay was on in Dublin this weekend. Normally I’d be down there but this weekend I had too many other things on. So I went to the party last night and spent a couple of hours on the beach. I still got more than 250 photographs to sort through. Most of [...]
Michael Schitzhofer in Portimao a couple of years ago at a PKRA invitational. I always liked this shot – this is going to sound grotesque but it was the detail of his open mouth. Pretty sure I couldn’t do this. A lot of work went into turning what was a fairly average colour shot into [...]
I think this might be my favourite from Good Friday. It’s not a perfect photograph (I can confirm, for example, that C has ankles for the most part), but there’s just something about it, a bit atmospheric. Photographers like it. Kitesurfers will want to know why he’s not doing a trick. I think this might [...]
For reasons which I am not sure I can go into at the moment, I was back on the beach with the camera yesterday. It’s about 6 months since I was shooting kitesurfers and maybe I needed a day like yesterday.
This is my friend Mr T, on his brand new board, the Monk. It’s designed [...]
I can’t see any evidence that I actually posted this here which surprises me because again, it’s one of the best kite photographs I’ve ever taken. It was taken with the last 40D and it might be the best photograph I ever took with that camera. Possibly it’s no coincidence that 10 minutes later, the [...]
Feeling a little lost lately. This seems to be the normal state of affairs for me.
Anyway I was going through the archives to see if I could find any nice photographs of surfing (I couldn’t, or at least they just weren’t talking to me) but the last really good surf photography session I did was [...]
On the beach are about 15 kitesurfers, pumping kites, talking about what size they’ll put up, who’s going to try the new 2011 Cabrinhas. The kites are pretty. The two Cabrinha team riders are on the beach. The weather is hugely different to what they are used to; Susie tells me she spends most of [...]
This is my favourite shot from yesterday. It shouldn’t be, but it is.
after all I chopped the top of the kite off. But I don’t really care. There’s just something about it I love.
The photograph was taken in Sutton, Co. Dublin, Ireland. In a way, it’s the culmination of years of work, waiting, hoping. You [...]
