Thank you One Rude Dawg. Interesting thing about that #8.......I shot it kind of on an angle and the perspective is thrown off because of that.


That's plenty ok, the beauty and the fun of photography, the creativity of it all. Artistic license if you will and you are the artist.

When are you going to publish a coffee table photo book. With all the great, eclectic and thought provoking stuff you have posted I think it would do well. I would buy one.


Great idea, I would buy one also, think on it.

lwiley, let me tell you something about the mentality of my photography. I purposely do not have any desires to go commercial with my photos. As soon as a photographer does that, then it is a business and everything changes. Thank you for thinking the book would do well, and who knows? Maybe it would. It would take a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me. Now, I'm just pleasing myself and not responsible for pleasing anyone else. I don't have to answer to anyone. Here is another reason why the coffee table would not work for me: To publish a book like that since on many of the photos you can recognize the surfer by his or her face, I would have to get photo releases. As it stands right now, since I am not making any money on the photos and the photos are not degrading my subjects or offending them in any way I don't have to worry about photo releases. Thank you lwiley for the nice compliments though.

Yeah, and being the artist, I have the right to do whatever I want with the photo, right?!?!?!? Thanks for that!

Thanks so much lwiley for understanding. This way I'm a little poorer but much more happy, and happiness is something that I cherrish more than money!

Hopefully I am not the only photographer that seeks for unusual photo opportunities and takes "the shot". While at a recent photo trip I was fortunate enough to capture several slightly "off the wall" photos. I love it when the viewer has to take a double take at a photo or stares at it for quite a while because they might be mesmerized by the photo. I personally am constantly on the look for the out of the ordinary photo opps. Please download these for best detail in viewing.

Nice ones Brent. I'm with you on looking for unusual photo ops, and you've outdone yourself with these.
