Steve-1

This is Steve. He is a surfer, but he also happens to be a famous surf photographer. He doesn't shoot action though, his specialty is surf portraiture, and he has photographed some of the most famous surfers in the world. So imagine how excited I was when I spotted him heading out into the waves and he agreed to let me take his portrait. I had all of about 20 seconds to complete the shoot and during that time his expression went from serious to smiling to a full throated laugh. I just kept snapping away and will post the "Different Faces of Steve" over the next three days.

A powerful cropped closeup. I suspect that you caught his personality accurately here. It is a fine shot, Nick. "VVV"
