In the late winter and early spring I focus my energy beyond the protection of the inside sounds, creeks, and rivers to fish crab pots in the Atlantic Ocean. Female crabs like to move towards deep salty

Wind, tide, and waves can be so random yet so precise in their ability to change a landscape. This is Masonboro Island on the coast of Southeastern North Carolina. It is an undeveloped stretch of coast

In the late winter and early spring we get many types of algae that blooms and floats freely with the currents until it grabs on to any fixed object. We have hundreds of traps that snag this algae which

How would you like to have an Oyster and some barnacles attached to your face and slowly getting larger day by day? I caught this blue crab in the Pamilico Sound, North Carolina in the early Spring. This

A typical days catch on the crab boat are the seafood you see below. Although I catch other things like Octopus, Softshell crabs, Flounder, etc, this is what a typical catch looks like. These are Female

Every human being should spend a day every so often seeing where our junk ends up. We create, use, and throw out so many things! A look at our human detritus and you will see a world of forgotten opportunities

Caught this shot right at sunset after setting a few traps in the ocean. Inlets can be dynamic places where current and swell cross up. This buoy sees a lot of action when the conditions align. I like

This may not be much of a mystery to most but when you see something like this in my line of work it makes you scratch your head. This is a buoy that marks one of my crab pots that I found with a seashell

One of earth's oldest professions is often overlooked by society. Day by day people slog around their homes complaining about the economy, the job market, or the lack of opportunity. The fisherman or

Caught this shot as I was setting pots out right before darkness fell. It had been dreary all day and then the sun busted below the clouds and above the horizon.

The Master Cleanse is something I came across several years ago and I can confidently say it has changed the way I look at the mind body connection. It involves a ten day committment to only ingesting

Every year around mid January as #BlueCrab fishers we are required to pull our pots up for the season to allow our regulators to remove any lost pots from the previous year. We have about 400 #crab pots

Lots of hungry birds show up around my boat in winter. I am always amazed at the precision of the shape of their wings as they ride invisible air currents. Check out my other Seawater Sunlight captures

This is the day after a storm at my local beach. Capturing photos in the modern day is all about perfect timing, light, and perspective. This seagull probably had a wild and wooly night and was happy to

Snowfall comes to Masonboro Island once every few years. Our recent snowstorm gave me the opportunity to document this rarity. Ice fell first then a few inches of snow. This crystallized all the cordgrass

You do not see Deer swimming often and when you do it is normally pretty shallow and docile water. I found this one near an ocean inlet in 30 feet of water and a swift current! She must have been a strong

This skinny strip of land lies between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean . The wind blows salt air constantly and causes the leafy parts of trees to grow accordingly. This makes for some interesting

This was taken in Cape Hatteras NC. This string of barrier islands can be a desolate yet beautiful place. The pastel colors of this cold day bring life to a barren beach landscape.

Not every photo I take is off my fishing boat. This was taken during a winter SUP expedition to an offshore jetty. Super cold this day! I connected a mass of Cirrus clouds to the jetty with some pleasing

This shot captures a Winter sunset over the mouth of the Cape Fear River. This time of year the sun sets in the extreme southwest sky creating epic colors on clear days. The still water captures the reflection
