Late OB session, beautiful, and a sand dollar. It’s going to be a good year.

Hello 2025

“Happy New Year, losers”

“I’m no fly on the wall. I am the hornet that stings…Happy New Year, losers.”

—Werner Herzog

Goodbye 2024

Christmastime at the end of the pier.

Too fast and big to catch at Scripps. One wave taught me how the masa feels when it’s being prepped for tortillas. No better way to spend Sunday.

OB Today. Pix by Kelly.

Just me and a single surfer in the water by the pier. Big waves, not very rideable for either of us.

Broadcasters caution that the conditions indicate “only experienced swimmers” should consider being in the water. I take that seriously.

Kelly’s comment “And this is your audience”

Kelly took all these photos. She is a terrific photographer. As the year winds down, I count her as a top blessing.

Big waves are tremendously fun to be around.

Christmas afternoon chaotic session at Scripps

It was great.

Kelly came with me.

It was great.

Panorama before the session.

Kelly and I have a Nativity Scene that’s nontraditional. Q & Maleficent aren’t all bad, after all. Merry Christmas!
