Photo Collection Slide Shows:

You can download images or order prints directly from the albums I post on MyPhotoAlbum and PicasaWeb. Instructions for downloading images are located
below on the right. 4 by 6 prints cost less than 20 cents each, and I don't charge service fees like many websites do. Don't print larger than 4 by 6 from the posted images since there aren't enough pixels.

• A 50-cent Tour of the Cocoa Beach Pier - May 4, 2008. All I had in my pocket was 2 quarters. That bought me 30 minutes of parking. So it was a real quick photo session.
  
  
• Melbourne High Surf Contest - May 02, 2008. Waves were small and winds were on-shore, but I found some waves and a surf contest on the south beaches Friday. It looks like the same people we see at all of the contests. I shot a mix of surf and beach shots.
  
  
• Brevard Zoo - May 02, 2008. Amazing colors, lots of animals, and lots of kids. Some cute moms also. I shot about 550 frames Friday at the zoo and then at the surf contest (above), but I only posted about 170 in the 2 slide shows.
  
  
• Surf all Weekend - April 25-27, 2008. It wasn't big like it was on April 18, but it just kept on coming. Friday was a little too windy, but all day Saturday and Sunday morning were small wave fun. I was shooting from high up on the boardwalk, so those overhead waves are not really as big as they look. Surf was around 4 feet on the bigger sets.
  
  
• Friday Fun Day - April 18, 2008 - Surf was running 4 to 6 foot with a light chop and powerful swell. I posted the best 81 frames of 500 taken. We got some good shots - mostly at 2nd Light Set waves were easily 6 feet.
  
  
• St. Augustine Pier - April 12, 2008 - This is a collection from the St. Augustine Pier. I got some good multi-frame surf action sequences and lots of shots of people on the beach that tells the story of "a good day at the Pier".
  
  
• Spring Praise Fest - Mar 29, 2008 - Another photographic opportunity at the river front park in Cocoa Village. Lots of kids. Yup...I always take way too many pics of the kids.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• 2nd Light - Feb 16, 2008 - We were expecting glass, but got a light chop instead. It would have been epic, but we still had lots of fun. Were you there?
  
  
• Longboard Heaven - Feb 3, 2008 - The first day of a 4 day swell. Nothing but longboards out on the south beaches. Photos by Suzanne.
  
  
• Small Wave Glass - Dec 29, 2007 - Pretty much the last of a week long swell at 2nd Light. But glass is always fun. All photos by famous surf photographer, Suzanne.
  
  
• Black Point Drive - Dec 28, 2007 - The day began with surfing on the south beaches and ended with birding in the north swamps. We got some pretty nice shots in the swamp.
  
  
• Cocoa Village Craft Fair - December 1, 2007 - Nothing like a big craft fair to kick off the Christmas season! This is a collection of 89 of my famous "get in your face with a 300mm lens" people shots from the first day of the fair.
  
  
• Slater Invitational - Surf Action Shots
  Slater Invitational - People on the Beach
  Novemver 10, 2007 - Surf action from Kelly, Cory, CJ, and Rylan in 2 to 3 foot glass. A contest wouldn't be much of a contest without the people on the beach! There are over 200 frames in the albums, but it's just a summary of the 750 frames I shot Saturday.
  
  
• St. Augustine - Beach Side
  St. Augustine - Downtown
  November 3 and 4, 2007 - I tried to capture the mood of St. Augustine, more than I tried to give you a tour. I shoot interesting shapes, forms, people, colors, and lighting situations. How well I succeeded is your call. Take a peek.
  
  
• AAU Championship - Surf Action Shots
  AAU Championship - People on the Beach
  October 27 and 28, 2007 - This was the AAU National Championship Surf Contest held in Cocoa Beach. I broke the photo collection into two slide shows: "Surf Action Shots" - photos by Suzanne; and "People on the Beach" - photos by Ross. We got some real good shots!!

• NKF Surf Contest - Day 1
  NKF Surf Contest - Day 2 - September 2, 2007 - Cocoa Beach. Mostly get in your face people shots. The surf was pretty small, but just a hair better Sunday than Saturday, so I got a few action shots of the girl's longboard competition. I just fire away at everything, so if you were near the judges stands, maybe I got a shot of you. I shot almost 900 frames, but only posted about 300.
  
  
• Friday Fest - August 24, 2007 - Cocoa Village. I shot 300 or more frames and picked out the best 100 or so for a slide show. It was raining and kind of dark, so I lost a lot of frames, but I got a nice set of good shots anyway. If you see someone you know, send them the link. Lots of kids, colors, and "get in your face with a 300mm lens" people shots.
  
  
• 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.
  
  
• Friday Fest - June 22, 2007 - Cocoa Village. This is the third Friday Fest I have visited this year. If you see someone you know, send them the link. Lots of kids, colors, and "get in your face with a 300mm lens" people shots.

• Friday Fest - May 25, 2007 - Cocoa Village. People, kids, the band, and anything with lots of color or interesting lighting. Pictures from the January Friday Fest are at the link 5 bullets below.
  
  
• Hobie Wave Race - April 1, 2007 - These sailors love 20 knot+ winds. It was too windy to surf, so I shot the Hobie Race on my way home from the beach. I got several good multi-frame series. The hull dunks are cool. I think most cats would pitch pole if you did what these guys were doing.
