The image above is the cover of my new book. After two years shooting in Huntington Beach, I will finish early this summer when the layout of photographs for the book begins. I have covered most of the lifestyles within the city but plan to include another 12 photographs concentrating on surf culture which has set the tone and identity of the city for many years. Publication is scheduled for late summer 2019. If you are a surfer and would like to be included in the book email

From a block away I spotted the old red, white and blue through the crowds in downtown Long Beach, California. Now I'm as patriotic as most Americans and I did serve for four years so it annoyed me to see our flag displayed this way, you know... in a bucket. So I moved in to check it out more closely.
