Appreciate your home coastline. And snap a few keepers along the way.

I grew up along the Jersey coastline, mostly in the town of Ocean City. I have been surfing ever since I was nine years old. A few years ago, my buddy let me borrow his camera to shoot a few photos of some surfers, and ever since then, I have been hooked on surf photography. Photography has made me realize how beautiful the coast is here in New Jersey and makes me appreciate things on a different level. Most people don’t understand why I love the ocean so much, so in my images I try to capture the beauty of it.
