Matt's All New Slide Show!!!

In the unlikely event of a water landing, that seat cushion may not be all you need! In-flight music by Thievery Corporation.

Some early comments: Flows together well and is very chill... Less ominous than some of the others and has a relaxing vibe throughout.... Great new addition!...Was that Ren?

Inside Rock

Mary caught me on this fun early morning cruiser in The Patch. Talented painter that she is, it doesn't surprise that her photos are quite painterly. Being both resourceful, & determined not to miss the action, she even fabricated a bicep-attached pouch to hold her waterproof Pentax. I love the sense of vast expanse. Good eye, & thanks Mary.

So later in the session, I took off on a fast little wall on the inside where they tend to speed up. I’ve heard that section called “the race track”. I was quite enamored with my ride I must say, so much in fact, that I was shocked to notice the inside rock had reared it’s gnarly head like two feet in front of me! “WHOA!” I exclaimed as I confronted my impending doom. No time to maneuver here. Instinctively I chose plan B…. ie, B for bail. I abandoned ship and hoped for the best. What luck, bod and board were unscathed. Note to self: remember what lurks below.

photo mash up

Just got back from Santa Cruz, where I photographed abstract paintings for an artist friend. I juxtaposed some with images I took while enroute.

I am embarking into some new photographic territory lately....
similar but different.

Here's a little taste.

mushburgers & brew

Special thanks to the intrepid Rhio, who resolutely withstood the elements to capture these shots of a less than epic session. What a show of support for her man!

I too wholeheartedly support her passion for bird watching....as long as I am not expected to do any.




Hey, I even treated her to breakfast.

Lookout Frederick Fleet: Is there anyone there?
6th Officer Moody: Yes, what do you see?
Lookout Frederick Fleet: Iceberg, right ahead!
6th Officer Moody: Thank you.

6th Officer Moody: [rushes out to the deck to notify 1st Officer William Murdoch] Iceberg right ahead!
6th Officer Moody, 1st Officer William Murdoch: Hard a'starboard! -Titanic

Surf Collage

Somehow, in retrospect the surf wasn't so bad....with a little help from Photoshop.

Matt At The Patch

Kind of a small south swell today, but Rhio was off and a beach outing had long been the plan. Not only my surf babe, she is now my camera gal! If only she'd wax and carry my board....













































Matt & Jaime share a party wave!












There's just something about Mary!

Leap Of Faith

"Hey Dad, guess what I'm doin?!"

"I dunno, finally flossing your teeth?"

Needless to say I guessed wrong, but then again, parenting does have its surprises!

Happily, there was media coverage to document this amazing life experience.

Kudos to you G!
