The image above is the cover of my new book. After two years shooting in Huntington Beach, I will finish early this summer when the layout of photographs for the book begins. I have covered most of the lifestyles within the city but plan to include another 12 photographs concentrating on surf culture which has set the tone and identity of the city for many years. Publication is scheduled for late summer 2019. If you are a surfer and would like to be included in the book email me at delryderphoto@gmail.com. I'd love to meet up with you!! #OrangeCounty #FineArtPhotography #StreetPhotography #Hu ..read more

As I began to look into the project I learned that hotels in the area started booking out in 2009. There went my three for one idea... see the total eclipse, see my brother who was willing to meet me in Charleston, and hit a few of the finest restaurants in the city. I was bummed.
