I saw an unbelievable sunset so I drove my motorcycle toward the hill just between the piers. While waiting I saw the awesome view from this focal point, one that captured this incredible day perfectly. Photo: Henry Espinoza

Once the sun started to go down, I decided to walk to the sunset, knowing it was going to be good. This is a photo I took so people know Lobitos is more than just fishing. Photo: Henry Espinoza

This is a photo of my friend Segundo. He’s always in the water, especially the Piscinas wave - a morning of good vibes and good surfing. Photo: Henry Espinoza

A perfect day for surf photos - everyone in the water had a good wave, but still some went unridden where we see the form that throws barrels with some good size. Photo: Henry Espinoza

Early one morning, there wasn't any wind. While I was waiting for the set I walked a bit from the beach to take a picture of the motorcycle and just behind was the perfect Lobitos wave (the point). Photo: Henry Espinoza

In the middle of the day I went to go take pictures, looking for something different than what I had of “Generales” - so I walked between some trees, waited a bit and could still see the barrels from a distance. Photo: Henry Espinoza

That day I stayed a few more hours on the beach than normal. The waves came and went, many un-ridden. There were only about three to five people in the water. Photo: Henry Espinoza

Finishing up my photo session, just before I started putting my camera away, a set came and he took the last picture that nailed the morning. Photo: Henry Espinoza

I went to the peer and took some pictures, one of which was this one of the same sand that forms the “Muelles” wave and could see a classic raft with two small boats almost on top of it. Photo: Henry Espinoza

Arriving at the beach I could see the barrels form on the right, a day with out wind and with out people in the water. I took a couple pictures then went back home for my board. Photo: Henry Espinoza

One morning at Generales everyone was loving summer, with warm water and perfect waves. Photo: Henry Espinoza
I met Henry over five years ago when he was just getting acquainted with riding waves. Somebody gave him a bodyboard and, at that time, he was small enough to stand on it and surf the waves that way. It didn’t take long before he started riding surfboards, and man, seeing him in the water now – he rips!
Not only has he progressed as a surfer, but as a photographer as well. He’s a humble guy with a great eye. His first exposure to photography was during the making of CAPTURE: A WAVES Documentary, a short film shot in 2010. In 2011, with the the Surf Resource Network, he was published on the Matuse website. Now, he is poised to launch his own photography business in earnest. In an effort to help him do that, he’s shared with us the photos you see here.
Check out his page on FB, his twitter account, and his blog. Currently, you can get a canvas wrap of a photo of his from earlier this year he generously donated to this online auction.
