Photos in Windsport Magazine
The new issue of Windsport Magazine arrived today and a few of my pictures made the cut. The first is a 2 page spread of Phil McGain crossing the finish line in first place during a race at the 2010 US Windsurfing Nationals. The photo captured John Craig shooting the finishing gun just as Phil crosses the line. Aerotech also ran an ad featuring some of my photos of David Wells.

Sutro Park sunset
It’s hard to remember that it is mid-January when the weather is so nice. After a day of enjoying the sunshine down in Half Moon Bay, I couldn’t pass up the beautiful sunset that was forming. On the horizon, the sun was clearly visible. Overhead, wispy clouds had formed. And over the beach and inland, a layer of fog was settling in. Instead of the usual sunset photo, I was trying to get something a bit more unique. I walked out to the overlook at Sutro Park and found this old chain link fence with a whole in it to frame the sunset.
I also found the leftovers of a hopscotch game.

Aerotech
With the shortest day of the year only just behind us, windsurfing season in San Francisco seems like a long way off. The launch of the new Aerotech website was a reminder to the contrary. The site announces several new sails for 2011 and features a bunch of photos I shot of Bay Area sailors David Wells and Jean Rathle.

Sunken ship visible at Ocean Beach
Thanks to a tip from Steve, I headed down to Ocean Beach to check out reports of an 1800′s shipwreck being visible at low tide. Back in 1878, a clipper ship broke free from its anchor and ran aground on the beach right at the end of Noriega Street. Sure enough, there it was, although a little less glamorous than what I was expecting. The timbers of the ship can be seen peeking out of the sand.
Check out the SFGate article for more info. Check the Ocean Beach Bulletin for a few more photos.
UPDATE 05/20/11: Today, nearly the full length of the ship was visible. I arrived a bit after low tide and the ship was starting to be covered back up by the incoming water.

Photo published in Standup Journal
I just found out that one of my photos made the Summer edition of the Standup Journal magazine. This photo is from the 2009/2010 Mavericks Surf Contest. This standup paddle surfer jumped on one of the waves in between heats of the contest.

Thursday at Hookipa
Today was a great day on Maui although that is probably a statement that is often repeated. In an effort to squeeze in some more photo time before heading home, I went to Hookipa for the afternoon. The swell and wind were both up from Tuesday and more sailors were on the water to take advantage.
The star of the day was US1113 – Bernd Roediger whose youthful energy caught him at least twice as many waves as everyone else. Click through on any of the photos below to see the whole gallery.

Tuesday afternoon at Hookipa
After a summer of cold San Francisco fog, it was time to escape to somewhere warmer, Maui. The conditions at Hookipa were far from epic, but were a nice change from the cold of Crissy Field. I sat up on the cliff and watched as the sailors waited outside for the right combo of wind and waves before making their ride in. Click on any of the pics below to see the full gallery.
