Dog Days of Summer: PNW Surfing

With the summer gone and while shuffling through imagery for a short film I’m putting together, these images remind me of what warmth use to feel like on the coast of Washington.  However, come the cold water arrives a beautiful swell.  As the season turns on in the PNW, the last thing I want to do is sit on the shore and shoot.  ‘Til next summer.

After my adventures with bee-keeping, I spent an afternoon this fall harvesting 20lbs of fresh honey from my hives.  I could have collected more, but the honey they gather throughout the spring and summer becomes their food surplus for the cold fall and winter months ahead.  They were already pretty pissed, as one can tell.
