Rusty Long, Timmy Reyes and I were on a mission deep in no man's land and were enduring some of the most testing conditions ever. It was raining like crazy and super cold. We were up early one morning and it was raining, naturally, but I said screw it, I'm going to go look at the ocean. This was the first frame I shot. Needless to say, the boys got psyched and we were out the door. Photo: Mark McInnis
Mark McInnis was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and as a result has an unparalleled affinity for cold water. Between can collecting and panhandling, Mark puts about 25,000 miles a year on his rig in search of the perfect shot, which may end up being captured on film more often than in digital form. When not drinking red wine, watching sunrises, eating hippy food, or sleeping in sandy beds, you can find him surfing all alone on a peak way off the beaten path. On a side note, Mark is not fond of traffic, people, beets, or mini-corn.
