Melges 32 in Rolex Big Boat Series 2008

I’ll be shooting the Melges 24 National Championship Series, San Francisco event March 7 and 8.

I look forward to adding to my growing collection of panoramic sailing photographs.

Last year I shot the Rolex Big Boat Series, the Leukemia Cup, and the arrival and journeys of the fabulous Maltese Falcon in San Francisco Bay.

This photo is of some of the Melges 32’s in the Big Boat Series.

Spring Pasture

Happy Valentine’s day. We spent the day in Sonoma Valley tasting some new vintages from Benziger Family Winery.

On the way is this beautiful pasture complete with Holstein cows and bare California oak trees.

Potato Patch Banshee

We’re still looking for some really big waves this winter. The swell was supposed to be about 13′ today and we did see sporadic big waves hit the shore.

The “Potato Patch”  was spawning some spectacular waves. The Patch results from big Alaska swells breaking near the GG Bridge.

Deep swells from the north hit a shallow bar and result in big building wave.

I gage this one to be at least 30′ in height.

Napa Mustard

I am looking for a prize winning Napa mustard shot that I can enter in Mumm annual photo contest.

I call this one “Mustard Matrix” because of the interesting juxtaposition of vine rows.
