Historic Punt: This is one of the first action shots I took that I felt didn't suck. I had been shooting for a while but finally managed to borrow a friend's telephoto. To me, it made a world of difference in 2006. Monmouth County, New Jersey. Photo: Robert Siliato
I am a photographer and a surfer. I have been surfing for over 10 years, but prior to that, I was a bodyboarder. I’ve never lived further than two miles from that beach as I honestly feel I’m addicted to the ocean. I’ve always tried to take a photojournalistic approach to documenting the surfing culture at the Jersey Shore. I feel that each photo should tell a story and that some surf shots aren’t meant to be shot at 10 frames a second. I apply that feeling to my other photographic works as well. My ultimate goal would be to write a book about winter surfing at the New Jersey Shore and the perils surfers face in search of a decent wave.
