Fun times in the OBX

Recently I returned from an annual trip to the Outer Banks of NC. The weather on the front end and back end was great. In the middle it was a little suspect. Strong winds made the surf unrideable for a few days. But come friday, the winds shifted to offshore and it was pretty sweet. There was a double break - one way out and one closer in on friday. My friends Dave, Spiker and I found ourselves all alone in the lineup out past the pier with clean 1-2' overhead barrels moving quickly by. It was a beautiful setting that I will not soon forget. Here are a few photos from the week.

Party at the Zoo

I recently took pictures of my friends John and Patricia's daughter Valerie's 3rd birthday party at Reston Zoo. That's right, somewhere between suburbia's standard landmarks of starbucks, pizza hut and kinder care they put a zoo. We've got an Apple store and a zoo. Reston is finally on the map.
