- Hurricane Bill - August 21-22, 2009. The swell showed up 12 hours early and didn't get quite as big as expected. But it was PLENTY big enough. See for yourself.
Wild Bill Day 1
Wild Bill Day 2
- Small Wave August - August 8, 2009. Small fun waves in the early morning at OCs and 2nd Light. Small, but far better than flat. Shots are from early in the morning since the tide was inbound.
- Brevard Zoo - August 8, 2009. Another free-entrance Saturday evening. It was packed. See the happy Florida State Gator.

Nosara 2009 - Best Surf Shots (doesn't repeat the surf contest shots)
Nosara 2009 - People and Places (doesn't repeat the surf contest shots)
- ESA Contest #1 - May 16, 2009. These shots are from Sat, day 1 of the 2-day contest. Mostly just shots of people on the beach since shooting surf shots into the early morning sun doesn't work very well.
- Friday Chop Slop - May 15, 2009. The wind died and the waves were running around 3 feet. Danny ripped it up.
- The Last Duck - April 30, 2009. When there isn't any surf, we head for the duck pond to photograph the ducks, the egrets, and the alligators. The ducks were gone, but the alligators were still there.
- Grills - April 30, 2009. Sunset as seen from the deck of Grills Restaurant at Port Canaveral. Wow... what a nice sunset!
- St. Mary's Fair - April 16, 2009. Rockledge, Florida. I go every year for a sausage, onion and green pepper sandwich. It's a tradition. I posted just enough shots to make you want to head for the fair.
- Picaresque - April 10, 2009. A few shots from the the premiere showing of Mikey DeTemple's surf film Picaresque at the Cocoa Beach Surfside Play House.
- Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica - March 2009. I shot over 3000 frames during the week I was there and posted about 425 of the best shots.
- Surfin Saturday - February 28, 2009. It wasn't great, but it sure was fun until early afternoon when Ms. Wind blew things away.
- Small Wave Sunday - January 25, 2009. It was small, but a few of us on big boards had fun for awhile as the tide dropped.
- Last Waves of 2008 - December 28, 2008. We shot so many pics in December that I got swamped. These are all the shots from Sunday Dec 28 in Satellite Beach. I didn't have time to edit them. If you were surfing near Ross that day, download your pics.
- December Glass - Part 1
- December Glass - Part 2
December 20, 2008. The 5th day of a six-day swell. Sets were 4 foot+ and spaced out nicely. Off-shore winds, clear skies, and lots of folks I know showed up at OC's. Download your pics!!!
- Tres Amigos - December 16, 2008. Perhaps the best session we ever shot - three CFLsurf Team surfers trying to break their boards in overhead shore pound. If you ever wondered how boards get broken, take a peek at this slide show.
- November Glass - November 20, 2008. A nice swell rolled in, the winds clocked off shore, and the air got chilly. These shots are from day 1 of the two day swell.
- Slater Invitational Surf Contest - November 9, 2008. Two albums with a total of over 450 shots from the contest Sunday morning. Lots of good surfing and people-on-the-beach shots.
- Two Foot Glass - November 8, 2008. Well maybe it was three foot, but whatever it was, it was longboard fun. Shots are from OCs early and then 16th Street around noon. If you see someone you know, send them the link.
- Concert at the GOODs - November 6, 2008. These shots are pretty much just for download by the folks that were there for the Josh Garrels concert. I try to capture interesting shots mostly without the flash unit.
- AAU Contest - October 25 and 26, 2008. Lots of surfing and people on the beach shots. I shot the longboard finals myself on Day 2 (that's why there are so many shots of Danny). If you see someone you know, send them the link.
Contest Day 1
Contest Day 2
- Three Days in Surf Heaven - September 26, 27 and 28, 2008. We posted lots of pics from 3 days of surfing. We tried to get everyone that was in range. Download your pics. If you see someone you know, send them the link.
Friday Sept 26
Saturday Sept 27
Sunday Sept 28
- South of the Board Walk - September 21, 2008. Sunday was Funday with a 5 foot NE swell and light winds. This was our first NE'er of the season. Due to shadowing effects from the shoals off the Cape, our south beaches usually get the size from a NE swell. I posted the best 110 frames of the 800 we shot.
- The Morning After - September 6, 2008. Waves continued to roll in the next morning after Hana passed by. These are the entire set of 187 un-edited out of camera shots. If you were at OCs or Perkins Sat morning, download your pics.
- Hurricane Hanah - September 5, 2008. Daybreak began with 35 knot offshore winds and the 20 mile bouy bouncing 17 feet. The winds fell and the buoy went up from there.
- NFK Surf Contest Day 1 - August 30, 2008.
NFK Surf Contest Day 2 - August 31, 2008.
NFK Surf Contest Day 3 - September 1, 2008.
Surf Action Shots - August 31, 2008. (Photos by Rob Viesins)
Surf was choppy but definitely rideable. Turnout for the contest was high. There are over 700 shots between the Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 albums. If you just want to scan through them quickly, click the SIZE selector near the top right of the album display to select the largest thumbnails.
- Six Foot Glass - May 16-17, 2008. The winds finally turned off-shore for the last two days of this four-day long-period swell. It was coming down fast, but it was still lots of fun out there.
- Dawn Gray Benefit Art Show - Mar 8, 2008 - Lots of shots of the people who were there (but none of people that missed it). This was an art sale to raise money for Dawn's missionary work in Nicaragua. Dawn is called Rojita by the locals in Nic. See if you can figure out which one is Dawn.
- The Mary Alice Collection - October 27, 2007 - super shots from the very peak of the leave change season in Wolf Laurel, NC.
- Sunday was Funday - September 9, 2007 - Satellite Beach. 157 surf action shots from the session that finally ended three months of summertime flatness. All photos by Suzanne.
- Hurricane Dean - August 19, 2007. A collection of 45 surf action shots from 16th Street South, Cocoa Beach, taken late Sunday PM. Not bad for just a 300mm lens. This collection is best viewed with the slide show option - it will automatically size the images to maximize use of your display screen. All photos by Suzanne.
- Flowers, Frogs,
and Butterflies - Feb 25, 2006. Lots of
colors at Rockledge Gardens in late afternoon lighting.
- Cocoa Village
- Jan 2, 2006. A "stroll through the village"
on a Sunday afternoon. Mostly just buildings and scenery for folks
that haven't been there.
- New Smyrna and
Vicinity - Dec 31, 2005. Mostly birds, the
lighthouse, and unusual lighting conditions.
- North
Carolina Autumn Colors - Oct 30,
2005. We just don't see colors like this in Florida.

Downloading pictures:
PicasaWeb has a "download" pulldown menu at the top of the page which allows you to download an individual image or the entire album.
Note regarding posted images:
I frequently shoot candid shots of the people attending and participating in surf contests and other public events. It is always my goal to capture attractive, healthy people in a natural setting that portrays them at their best. I provide these images for free download and printing. These are often shots of yourself that you would never get otherwise, and if you did get them from a professional, you would pay $25 to $35 for just a 4 by 6 print. HOWEVER, if for some reason you object to an image of yourself that I have posted, I will gladly remove that image from the album. Please clearly identify the image and the reason why you want it removed in a email to Ross. Each image in an album is identified by a unique DSC_nnnn number, where "nnnn" is a value between 0001 and 9999.
Also, I claim copyright to all images without recognizable people. This means I own and retain all rights to these pictures and they can not be used for commercial purposes without my written permission. Pictures with people are a different story, since commercial use of a picture with a recognizable person requires a model release. All professionals know this stuff, but many small website managers seem to ignore it quite often.
