Nothing quite like the experience of snorkeling and a Sea Turtle cruises on by! Very undisturbed by our presence as they ate the seaweed and coral. Hopefully this peaceful moments will bring some joy!

Which one would you paddle into?
Yellow Alert for @wsl Final in Fiji having me think about seeing Teahupo’o in person for the first time. Nothing quite like watching this wave roll on through and spit out from the channel.

Watching a beautiful sunset in Tahiti, French Polynesia. I noticed how the sunset reflected off the rippling water and took some snaps at varying shutter speeds.

Don’t you wish you could stay forever in a moment? A reason why I make photographs is to capture that moment to lack back upon for as long as I want. These were precious moments making portraits in a beautiful place on this planet that we call home.
