At The Ready receives high nominations at the 2019 Spider Awards for photography

Aloha to all involved with this years Spider Awards. I’ve always been a very big fan of black and white photography, ever since I was a child, looking at beach photographs by celebrated Australian photo legend; Max Dupain. So, it is with great honor that I accept my nomination at the 14th annual Black and White Spider Awards for my photograph; At The Ready, a photograph of great significance, given the important job that Hawaiian lifeguards perform in some of the heaviest storm-driven waves on the planet. I watched in awe as this particular lifeguard put his life on the line to navigate in through dangerous rocky outcrops, in between 20-40 foot waves to warn an unknowing beachgoer to get to high ground. Once again thank you to everyone who nominated my image. I’m truly grateful for your support.
