Piece description from the artist
While South Padre Island may be well known as a spring break hot spot, it’s also the part of the world’s longest barrier island, formed over thousands of years by wave and tidal action. In 2020, before the pandemic restrictions were in place (and before spring breakers defied them) I explored the south jetty and watched as this local fisherman hooked a 25-pound escolar.
In the moments before dawn, just before the sun spills over the horizon and across the landscape, I always smile with anticipation as I wait for the show to begin.
I savor the days when I’m alone in nature, witnessing the world in all its perfection and capturing those fleeting moments of natural beauty.
I love the craft of photography and the entire process of earning a photo that makes me proud- even the disappointing days when my shutter doesn’t click once. The white-out blizzards, stormy nights, and grueling hikes are always worth the dazzling golden sunrises, crimson last gasps of sun at day's end, and the crystal clear night skies staring out into infinity.
It’s all a humble reminder that nature is always in charge, and no two days are the same.
Ultimately, I’m just a guy who loves to see the world, appreciate its beauty and attempts to do it justice with my lens.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
