Nosara, Costa Rica

I've been going on surf trips to Costa Rica since the early 90's.  Nosara (Playa Guiones) has been one of the locations my surf buddies and I just about always ended up.  It has consistent, good surf, and is within easy reach of other less crowded breaks.  Nosara has grown up a lot since I first visited, but that allows me to take my wife there now.  She doesn't need a 5 star hotel, but she does like air conditioning and laying by the pool.  We stayed at The Gilded Iguana which was the perfect place to stay for us.  The Gilded Iguana is very close to the beach, has an incredible restaurant, air conditioned rooms, and has a pool.  That combination is Nirvana for my wife.

When I wasn't surfing, we spent a bunch of time hanging out on the beach.  I, of course, spent some time photographing.

Backlit Sails

There is a small marina near my home that I regularly walk my dogs by.  Sometimes on these walks I'll take a camera along, but not often.  It can be quite difficult and frustrating to compose images while holding on to the leashes of restless canines.  This particular day, the dogs stood still long enough for me to be able to get a few images of these sails being aired out.

Concrete Blocks

I'm not always sure what compels me to take the pictures I do.  At the time I'm photographing, I just kind of let go and allow myself to do what seems right at the time.  This is a perfect example of that.  Concrete Blocks?  Why am I taking these pictures?  It turns out, that these images of hunks of concrete display some of what I find beautiful about abstract black and white photography.  Texture, Negative Space, and Shapes.

Clouds

I'm not one who does much nature photography, but I couldn't resist making a few images after seeing some really impressive cloud formations recently. As always, comments are appreciated

Galveston Causeway (part 2)

The Galveston Causeway is much more than a bridge to many people.  For those of us that live on the island, it is our lifeblood and probably the only reason we can survive on this thin strip of sand.  It allows good and services to be brought to us, and brings millions of tourists here to enjoy what we call home.  It also acts as a shield or barrier from what is on the other side of it. Simply by crossing the bridge into Galveston gives many people a sense of freedom from the worries and troubles on the other side of it.  At the apex of the Causeway, they can finally relax because now, they are in Galveston.
