Summer Memories

Dreamy days.
As the days get shorter and the nights cooler, summer memories begin to fade like distant dreams.  

This image of two surfer girls was taken on the beach of Hatteras, N.C. in 1978 and aptly captures the dreamlike quality of wonderful memories.

This is one of my newest surf photography prints and is available here:  Magic Markings Art

The Art of Surfing

Surf Art Photography

To answer the question - What is "Surf Art"? - I love this quote by David Bogart - "Save the fancy theories and big words for the art appreciation class. Surf art is simply art focused on the act of surfing. In my mind, if you can look at the work and it makes you want to paddle out, it's surf art, period. If you're stoked, the surf artist has successfully done his job."


These three impressionist photographs of surfers were taken along the coast of Virginia Beach and later manipulated to look like impressionist paintings on canvas.  They are part of my Coastal Color Collection, fine art photographs of beach activities captured around my city and available here.

Paddle out and stay stoked.
